Very few journals should ever show on cash basis reports. The default setting should be OFF i.e. unticked.

The default setting makes cash reports nonsensical and useless. Users who are not accountants or experienced finance staff - which is a big chunk of Xero's user base - will likely never diagnose the problem and simply ignore cash reports altogether.

More experienced users have to remember to untick a box for every single journal entry & manually correct journals posted from third-party systems. If retrospectively diagnosing the issue, it's necessary to review every single historic journal to correct.

So annoying to have to go in and manually change the journals if we forget to untick the cash basis box on every journal. Xero, please change this so that its an option to tick if required and not the other way around. Grrrrrr

When is Xero going to fix this major flaw in the Cash reporting? It is time consuming to have to review and edit journals and untick the box every month to get accurate cash reports. There have been requests for this since 2016!

Please can this be done, it is a little frustrating to have to untick often

Would love to see this implemented

I would suggest only a small fraction of journals would need to be on a cash basis, why does it default to being cash? Whenever I find errors in reporting it's because someone has forgotten to uncheck this and we have to go searching through journals and untick the option - very frustrating! Xero - please fix this!!

Agree with the comments and a lot of users don't know about the current options

It is ridiculous this has not yet been rectified. Matter was first raised in 2016.
I agree with all previous comments

Clearly not an accountant that has written the software hence why it has this bizarre feature, that should be defaulted to OFF first.

Desperately need this. I have payroll journals coming in from a different system and need the journal to be cash off.

Agree with all other posters. This should surely be defaulted to OFF.

It's a rare occasion when you need a journal appearing in cash basis reports.

I'm no software developer but there can't be too many simpler fixes than this one..come on Xero hurry up 😂

‘show journal on cash basis reports' should be optional , ticked as a default when processing manual journals impacts the Cashflow Report

Please put a toggle or something in for the minority of users who would actually want journals to show up in the cash reports. This is such an odd choice to have it set this way as a default. We post over a dozen journals a week and it's such an unnecessary time sink to have to check and correct every month.

I have client that has daily imports from a POS API called Phorest and they come in as a manual journal. She is registered for GST on a cash basis. I need to be able to tick show journals on a cash basis for each day, ideally this can be set as an option or fixed via find and recode.

Agree this fix is needed ASAP

Critical

Agree, critical that this is updated as soon as possible

Agree this fix is needed ASAP - it's critical for getting cashflow right

Agree this fix is needed ASAP

Agree with other commenters that it should be non-cash as a default. Changing a journal to cash should be the option. This update would help address that.
