This feature feels like it should be a basic requirement. I need to track movements from the balance sheet to p&l and would like to use a specific contact to quickly reconcile the movements.
It is for deferred income which has already come up in this thread but there would be many useful ways to use this feature.

Upvoted as critical. Your primary competition has this feature. I'm new to the Xero platform after leaving your competitor. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong when trying to make a journal entry. The ability to assign a contact so that you can track all transactions with that contact is (in my mind) a basic feature. I'm struggling to figure out how to assign tenant security deposits to the individual tenants they belong to and have them show up in that tenants account. I'm sure there's a workaround....but this is just odd.

Is there no way to assign a journal entry to a contact ? Trying to balance a debtor account as a result of witheld taxes (Invoice under paid).

Any advise ?

I 100% agree with Liz Maurer!

Please prioritize this product feature. I feel that less urgent product designs and features that have been deployed recently are not as critical. This would save a substantial amount of time on my reconciliations and accounting practices

An exceptional idea, especially considering the relocation expenses of specific employees .. !!

Come on Xero - lets go - time to roll this feature out - the value of having the this level of detail is immense in terms of reconciling prepaids, deferred revenue, and a whole host of other transactional data. GO GO GO.

2023 is coming to an end and Xero hasn't implemented this... U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E :(

Please add this is critical.

For the past four years, our organisation has been using XERO. Unfortunately, an essential feature has been conspicuously absent from the platform since its inception.

Should this critical feature not be integrated shortly, we will, regrettably, be compelled to transition to alternative software solutions.

While we hold the belief that XERO boasts a proficient team of developers, the rationale behind the delayed implementation of this crucial feature remains unclear to us.

This is such a critical feature I'm surprised doesn't exist. When we're assessing spend with a particular supplier we want to include accruals and prepayments. Currently involves a lot of manual intervention to allocate a contact to an accrual/prepayment journal.
Considering switching to another platform if this doesn't get fixed soon.

In order for us to offset the amount we are owed by a debtor, who is also a creditor, we are in desperate need of this functionality

Be able to link a contact to a manual journal and show on the contacts activity as well as on output transaction reports in orde r to get toal for a single contact in a single report so when analysing chart of account balance can separate all transactions by contact. My example was I had some non-cash interest earned to manual journal in, but this will not come out in a report as the journal type is not connected to the corresponding contact the interest relates to.

Can this be a feature update?

This feature is critical enough for my team that we are considering switching to QBO in order to obtain it.
