Bank Rules - Ability to import and export
Allow users the ability to import and export bank rules.
This would save time having to manually create similar bank rules in Xero, and ease with new client organisation setup

Hi community, sometime on since my last post we wanted to provide an update for your all here and appreciate the continued attention this idea is receiving.
We want to be upfront that at this time focuses for the team are in other areas of bank reconciliation and we don't have any current plans for developing the ability to import and export bank rules from an organisation.
We understand and know this is important to everyone that has voted for the idea and will continue to review and pay close attention to the feedback and votes here. When there is more opportunity for the team to refocus efforts here we will keep you informed of any progress.

Yes, please! This would be incredibly useful.

Yes!
Really hard to keep a tidy Chart of Accounts when you can't archive accounts no longer used because there is a bank rule against it, but you can't find which rule to edit/delete without opening every single one!

This needs to be implemented NOW!

I have a client with 225 rules and he allocates a lot of personal transactions using a rule to 880 Drawings (880 is locked so it can't be archived), the amounts need to go to his Beneficiary Loan Account but I don't want to open 225 rules to see which ones are being allocated to the drawings account. I also don't want to be clicking into each entry in his drawings transactions to see which ones have a rule in place. A simple export of the details of the rule would be helpful and also if we can click one button to sort A-Z for the name of the rule as he has multiple rules for some with similar names.

It would help a load when I need to delete or clear Bank Rules as we have hundreds and it is really difficult to page through them to decide which need to be deleted.

This would make setting new clients much quicker
