Enter your idea

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.

but apparently this idea does not have many votes still....this is disappointing that they can not fix it because of that
can we get more people to vote for it?

Correct Edwin. It's not really a feature request - it's more like a bug that Rod Drury or someone put in Xero in the early days 😅

If I am not remembering it wrong, someone requested this 7 or 8 years ago, when the Xero community was still there.

Ludicrous that journals are set to Show journal on cash basis reports by default 🥴
That's why we do journals, to ACCRUE things that don't hit the bank account.

Totally agree, journal should be defaulted to be excluded from cash reports

This is critical for Cash Flow reports as we usually do not want the accruals and prepayments journals to show on Cash Flow report, but as the journals are automatically marked to show on cash basis this is disturbing the Cash flow report. Need to find those journals and untick them every time if we forget to remove the tick when making the journal.

Total madness to have journals defaulted to be included in cash basis reports. Journals are an accounting entry 99.9% of the time not a cash entry.

Started using cash reports where we didn't use them before. They are useless because this for some reason defaults to ticked. Cash movements generally get processed through bank accounts, journals are generally used for non-cash transactions.
The option to set the default ourselves is best, but failing this, journals should default as non-cash transactions.

critically necessary. we lost a lot of time unticking boxed which should not be there in the first place

Agree. I am constantly un-ticking this box. In the settings for the company there should be an option to control the default setting.

Most journals are not cash transactions so should be changed!

Manual journals are almost never cash transactions so it makes no sense for this to be the default

Without this feature we are continually changing the default for each journal we do.
