Marked as critical, as agree this one seems to be being ignored.

Maybe if everyone marked this as Critical in the 'How important this is to you" section above, then Xero might actually look at it as they seem to ignore the comments and requests. If everyone has already done this then I guess they will just ignore it for another couple of years.

A system default to it being unticked would be better that default ticked. Ideally though a customisable Xero file default setting would be good.

Agree that it would be great if the Xero file had the ability to select a default for manual journals like it does for most other areas.

The dream would be if the power of the Find & Recode Function could be increased to bulk update manual journals to cash or accrual.

Pretty please with sugar on top 😁🤞

In my experience most journals are non cash items, so being able to adjust the default setting would be an improvement.

Agree this should be a priority to be able to default for the box to be unticked

As Nick mentioned, having an extra column on the import template would be great. I import all my EOM journals, but to use the cash flow reports I need to go into the individual journals to untick this box.

Hi, the larger businesses I handle - this setting is a nightmare - it should be able to be turned off as a setting. It plays havoc with cashflow reports

As mentioned, this default setting renders the cash summary report useless. All payroll journals are posting in as manual journals marked as cash. Default should be unticked (false)

Great idea Nick! I bet Xero say it's too hard or that it's working as designed/based on the feedback they've received from customers

Journal Accrual or Cash Basis default setting and journal import column.

suggestions:

Default journal setting in is Xero is to post on a cash basis - apply a settings to select which basis is the default method (Cash or Accrual)

Import journals on accrual basis - add an extra column to the import template to state if the journal is accrual or cash basis or a default setting if blank.

They won't fix it, because they don't think it's a bug... someone at Xero set it that way intentionally (incorrectly) 😢

hurry up and fix this already!

The default should be unticked but, anyway, we should have the option to change our default in settings. I don't have the time to adjust every imported journal, unticking the box for each, which therefore makes the Xero cash reports useless for me.

it is ridiculous that xero has not fixed this BUG after so many requests! Maybe it is time to switch to a different platform.

This is definitely needed. We want to have the 'show journal on cash basis reports' unticked for all clients as we include cash reports in our Management Accounts.

There should be an option to choose your default within the Practice.

It is a pain and can sometimes be missed.

Manuals journals should not fall under cash basis by default. The default should change. This is a weird setup.

I'm now importing a couple of hundred journal entries into Xero every month. Having to go through and untick this box on every single one is getting a little ridiculous

Would like the feature to change when choosing one manually to another. It does not change our reports.

Insane that this is the default based on how journals are fundamentally used. Really needs to be changed. You can't even journal to a bank account assuming it has been set-up as such. Madness.
