Well said Eliza.
Since I raised this in March 2022, do you think Xero staff ever read or consider what the customer thinks?
This is such a basic and simple change it seems crazy that other amazing new features and wacky ideas are being worked on before completing foundational issues.
****** foundations was what Sage built upon all those years ago and then had to redesign everything as it crumbled from the base up...
Just a thought

High Priority: Responding to New FRS Changes and Fraud Prevention Regulations
With the upcoming changes in Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and increased emphasis on fraud prevention, it's more important than ever for micro businesses to optimise their use of Xero.furthermore, for micro companies—especially those without in-house finance teams or access to full-time bookkeepers—this means maximising the utility of Xero as it was originally intended: a tool for business owners themselves, not just accountants.
Now is the time to focus on practical system design, automation, and simplified workflows that empower small business owners to stay compliant and efficient without external overhead - instead of 3rd party promoting marketplace apps providing basic functionality XERO can easily deliver

This is a HIGHLY important function as our team makes initial purchases and then our book keepers need to verify the final transactions with the actual settlement charges.

Just checking in—are there any updates on this? I'm really looking forward to seeing this feature rolled out!

I would love to see a column option in the Account Transactions or General Ledger report that shows if there is an attachment (similar to how it does on the bank reconciliation screen) so I don't have to open a transaction to see if there is an attachment.

Gary Murphy commented
This is essential, you basically already have it when we view the account transactions within the bank reconciliation page. We just need to be able export this.

Karen Macmillan commented
Yes this is a very important feature that Xero needs!

Critical!

Jane Winning commented
It is essential for accountants to be able to determine if there are any supporting documentation gaps on the system.

Fleur Kent commented
This is a very important addition that needs to be added to Xero. We need to see if clients have attached all the invoices in one easy report rather than having to click into each transaction to view which is very time consuming.

Hannah Choi commented
This would be a game changer! Client won't need to send to us source documents separately.

Jo Patterson commented
Need this function for auditing purposes. Nobody has time to open every credit card transaction to see if there is a missing attachment...
-
David Klineberg commented
Even just an attachment icon for lines in the Bank Account 'Account Transactions' screen would be an immense help!
-
Pamela Manjares commented
this would be great for an audit process.

Adrian Fleming commented
Very difficult to prep for an audit without this function.

BBB Bookkeeper commented
Would benefit from this feature to also be able to quickly reference details on the attachments, maybe another report to filter and export the attachment files as per search?

Michael Brennan commented
This feature is really needed to check all transactions have necessary attached docs. Particularly in our case where we are still learning to drive the system. Please add this feature.
Thanks
