Xero reporting is vast, but often overthought. A simple debtors and creditors detailed ledger and journal options are critical for daily capturing and reconciling purposes. Not all information has value from just an aging perspective, so please give us some reports that leave aging out of the equation completely. Please Xero - go back to basics, bookkeepers and creditors / debtors clerks also need this program to work for them.

I find having to sift through all the allocations so onerous and time consuming. all we need are invoices( debtors or creditors) so we can do a quick view - without having to delete all the allocations - PLEASE - a very simple ask. TIA

It seems this has been a request on numerous occasions from companies (over the past few years), but nothing seems to be done. Journals are required to be processed on customer/supplier accounts. Please note this is a critical function as raising credit/debit notes will raise red flags to auditors and SARS And likewise a proper detailed ledger for suppliers and customers are very important!!!

This was never added even though it has been request since 2013

Amazing this is still outstanding after 11 years. It's such a critical piece of reporting functionality for any business using Xero to drive financial performance on a monthly basis.

I think this is why the newer platforms like Rillet and Campfire are going to eat up a lot of mid sized companies still on Xero.

Please advise on how we load Debtors and Supplier Journals?

This feature would really enhance reporting.

Would really want this as currently been adding the contact UUID in the row level of the journals and then mapping it against the contact table, to then get the same effect, not ideal at all but atleast an interim solution.

Radio silence would have been a better response than this generic bs. This is outrageous from Xero!

This feature is so very critical... We don't understand why it is not a priority.

12 years later... seriously? 😂

This is such a critical issue/gap with Xero. Completely agree with the other commenters. When will this feature be available..appears that it's been something everyone's asking for since 2022

We are actively looking to migrate away from Xero due to this feature gap. In particular the inability to track revenue accrual by customer means Xero is useless as a data source for much of our reporting that requires accurate by-customer data (churn, CAC, LTV, etc.). By "actively looking," I mean I have started scheduling demos with other vendors.

Dear Xero Team,
Any updates on this? Without the ability to add contacts to Manual Journals, we can not track so many things. The comments below have the most frequent use cases and there are more missed.
E.g. We cant track the prepayment balance remaining for a specific vendor (paid annually in advance, amortize monthly via MJs).

Has there been any update from XERO?

This is sooo important! Game Changer .. and can help us automate alot of our work

good day please can you tell how to pass a journal entry for debtors

Would be so beneficial.

This is very important to me too

Agreed 100% - glad I am not the only one that finds this totally lacking in Xero. It's a real problem navigating your way around supplier and customer balances.
A simple detailed supplier ledger and customer ledger is all we need. Showing balance brought forward with bills and payments........Simple.
