I have just migrated from Sage and now am facing manually assigning thousands of transactions to projects. Going forward I bulk-upload bills from certain suppliers and being able to bulk assign these bills to specific projects will save hours!

I'm so glad to see so much interest here! Please implement this feature asap. It will certainly improve and speed up the workfow for our project and finance team. Just one more thing, the feature on Hubdoc to assign to a project only makes it Billable to that project, not actually assigned to it, this is a waste of time, why not assign straight away.

Please can Xero introduce a built-in feature that allows bulk assignment of bills to projects? 🙏

At the moment, it’s incredibly time-consuming having to click through each individual bill to assign it to a project — especially when managing multiple sites or jobs.

It would be a huge time-saver if, when uploading invoices (either via Hubdoc or directly into Xero), we could select the project or site from a dropdown menu and have that automatically applied — or even assign multiple bills to a single project in one go.

Please, please make this happen ASAP — it would massively improve workflow for anyone managing several jobs or clients without having to rely on AI or manual re-entry.

Thanks!

Guys, this is super critical - we have numerous invoices going to different persons on the same project. we need to bulk import the invoices and assign projects instantly please

Absolutely critical, as we have clients who want every bill split in multiple project codes, and it is a very time consuming job to be done manually, prone to errors.

This is a no brainer; it should already be a feature of Xero. Please prioritize and expedite this feature. It's critical for my business.

This would be very helpful especially to import transactions from third party tools such as payment solutions and avoid to have to manually allocate them within each line of each bill.

Any update on this?

Critical important

I use Xero projects to manage the profitability of each contract, it needs to be a whole lot easier to assign projects than it is at the moment, enabling bulk updates would help here

I would like to set up a multi-million dollar project that is in progress and adding previous transactions or bills/invoices manually is not practical.

We have a project reaching 2 years. Scrolling through to the end of items to be passed on the Project and going through one by one is driving us crazy especially when some lines are identical in total. Just add columns to the right hand side and let us tick to select items them allocate to pass on.. its so basic!

This would make a big difference and save a lot of time. Something which would be very useful!

I'd like to second this, there is another question about it happening at the reconciliation page - would be great there, and/or on bills pages

A new column where you could drop down the project would be ideal.

Alternatively, at least within the bill itself - like it works with Invoices - so you can quick select lines. Expect this is easier tho top level on overview page would be the best

Currently it is a lot of clicks to add a cost to a project so very time consuming: Open Bill / assign costs / select project / tick lines / click Assign / click ok / click save

Would also like to show column containing tracking category in unassigned bills list, as these will give a hint to what project they relate to. Then select all bills to be assigned in bulk to that project.

Seems simple enough...but very time consuming to apply each transaction to each project.

Would make a massive difference when assigning bills to pay to projects rather than each bill at a time.

So importnat that this will be made possible. Even Fiver Workspace made that possible and the much more professional XERO does not?!

I am looking at 12 pages of expenses from recent trips - all of which need to be allocated to the correct line in the chart of accounts, then you have to remember to allocate them to a project, then select the project, then select the lines to allocate, then remember to hit reconcile. This will take me a whole day. I would prefer to be able to review my transactions and bulk allocate them to a project.

Yes please!
