Enter your idea

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!

Assigning to a project is too slow. It should be able to be done in Bulk, and on the reconciliation page easily - not click through multiple times. It's basic stuff.

This feature would be amazing, we would like to include in our bulk import from excel.

I'd like to be able to bulk assign expenses (and income) to Projects using Find and Recode or with tickyboxes on the list of Bills not assigned to Projects.

Currently, you have to edit each separate transaction to assign it to a Project. Separately.

From within a Project, clicking to Add -> Expense from bill opens the list of unassigned bills, but you have to open each one separately and edit each one separately.

It's a waste of time to do each one separately rather than in a bulk lot, especially when the person reconciling the bank doesn't have Projects access or forgets to assign the transactions they're reconciling due to the fact that that's a multi-step process that involves drilling in to Add details.

Would love to see this feature.

This is the most time consuming process.

Example we would like to see.

In the bills draft or approval area, a bulk coding list with a project assigned drop down, option to view attached bill PDF. account code. Similar to the cash coding process.

Many thanks in advance

Please add this feature. Thank you!

Another vote for this please! Seems very strange that you can't bulk select bills to add to a project - particularly in these days where most of us are creating bills via Dext or similar.

I tried the method setput by AJ Bertenshaw below, but there is no options +Add in the recode dropdown? Step 8 doesn't seem to work.

I can only select from contacts/account/tax rates - can't find the projects anywhere?

7. Press the Recode button
8. Press the "+add" link
9. Choose the only option there: Project

Not sure if anyone else figured this one out?

Thanks all

Please add this feature, it's too time consuming to add projects to bills one by one. I have more than 10k bills to assign projects to them. please do something.

You can might add new screen like cash coding just for assign projects to bills with ability to view attached bill file like bills in draft screen.

This should already be a option..
