Please add 'bulk assign' to projects - this is too time consuming to do individually. This seems like something that would be quite easy to fix. I need to be able to select multiple items at once to assign to a cost code in the project. Doing this one by one takes forever!

Hasn't anyone noticed that this feature does actually exist? I came here looking for the answer, and got a little dishaertened when I saw the complaints that it hasn't been done, however I kept going and within 2 mintues I found that this feature DOES exist.

Here's how you access it:
1. Make sure you have Advisor role access (this gives you acces to the Find & Recode feature). If you are user admin, you can give this to yourself.
2. Go to Accounting > Advanced
3. Click the Find & Recode feature
4. Press Find and Recode button
5. Set your search criteria
6. Tick all the lines you want to bulk assign a project
7. Press the Recode button
8. Press the "+add" link
9. Choose the only option there: Project
10. Choose the project you want to assign all the selected transactions to

It’s really beginning to feel like Xero is going the way of many saas companies that got quite successful in a short-ish space of time — customers are becoming the product.

We needed this feature 2-3 years ago and we STILL need it. Please assign some resources to implementing things that your customers are ACTUALLY asking for.

Any way this can be implemented using the template bill csv? Doesn't quite make sense to be able to bulk import all details but we have to go through each individual bill just to assign to projects.

Raised in 2019 lol not coming anytime soon then? This is badly needed as is code that matches the project name in the description that auto find and matches the project in Xero prior to saving the transaction and reconciling. Quickbooks is better in this area than Xero. One by One takes us more than a full day of staff time for 200 transactions and that is going to get worse as we grow.

Add this option through Find & Recode, similar to how Tracking Categories can be reassigned in bulk.

Please, please, please update this feature. It can't be that hard. The process of individually assigning costs is laborious

Projects is unusable until this feature is implemented.

This one is actually killing me!! Please update this.

In fact, just spend money transactions and expense management in projects in general.

If a bunch of expenses have been assigned to the wrong project you have to go into the project and do the following:
- click on each one, which gives you a pop-up,
- you THEN have to click the Spend Money link,
- Click Options,
- Click Edit Transaction,
- Click Assign to Project,
- Type the project,
- Click project,
- Save,
- Update Transaction

Now do this 10 times for each transaction........!!!!!!!

What!!!

Projects is the worst feature of xero.

Hi,

We have a lot of projects and a lot of bills to allocate in these projects. It is taking me forever to do that individually!

Is there any solution to make the progress more efficient?

I have a lot of transactions that go through from HubDoc assigned the client and then need reassigning to a specific project for invoicing. It would be much slicker to be able to bulk assign from the customer items for invoicing report.

I have bills with dozens of line items that have to be addressed individually to assign the project. It would be great to be able to bulk assign line items from multiple sections of Xero, including the bank feed, or even using the mass upload spreadsheets

Being able to go to the "bill to pay" and pick multiple expenses and to assign them all to a client at once, would save a huge amount of time instead of doing them one by one!!!
I am wasting so much time by doing one by one!
Can you please please add this feature in the futur upgrade?

Being able to go through the Transaction History in the linked bank accounts and assigning expenses / income recorded on bank statements (ie this could be both expenses/invoices paid from the bank account and incoming payments received into it) to specific projects would be incredibly helpful.

Yes, this feature is very important. Thank you for speaking up this idea!

I am wasting so much time on this. Our invoicing is automated from Ignition but there is no link to Xero Projects and so we have to manually edit each invoice and assign a project.
