Ridiculous that this isn't already offered. QuickBooks has had it forever.

I just found a duplicate idea that has many more votes... if you want to move forward to idea of being able to "bulk OK" pre-matched transactions, please consider voting/commenting on this idea instead: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44988634-reconciliation-bulk-ok-for-reconciling-bank-tr

To everyone who has commented on this idea, please get all your team members to upvote it! It only has 36 votes right now, this needs to increase for Xero to prioritise it. Thank you!

The latest comment on here from Xero is very disappointing. As per other comments, I literally have to pay someone to click "OK" on thousands of transactions. Please give us the option to automate this ASAP!

Just wondering if anyone from the Xero Team actually uses Xero on a daily basis?

If you imagine someone having to reconcile 400 transactions a day, you would expect (roughly) someone to be clicking the OK button, every minute of every hour of every day for an entire 5 day working week. That might be great if you're a business which has hundreds of employees, but as a small business it is debilitating.

Xero is supposed to help businesses with their accounting and to break down those barriers, not put them up!

An option on bank rules to automatically post bank entries that match the rule. We have some clients who are purely run from bank statements, so these would save us an enormous amount of time.

Also searching for how to automatically apply spend rules. Totally seems pointless to need to re- confirm thousands of bank transactions where a rule was created. Not sure I even see the benefit of creating a rule in the first place. XERO you're falling well behind your competitors here and we're considering switching for this simple item Im employing someone to click a button thousands of times and it's far from practical. Nearly 18mths since the first feedback on this item and still no progress

It would be great to have a tick box (or similar) in each rule so you can choose if you want it to auto-reconcile or not. By default it should be ticked, but with the option to untick.
For example, i think for some clients it would be good for them to still review and click "ok", but there's others with a large amount of transactions that would really benefit from auto-reconciling rules.

any update on this we also need this, I'm not going to reconcile 1,000 strip transactions a week by clicking OK when the rule should just auto apply it.

I work with both Xero and QBO and the QBO feature to auto apply a rule is really great. Supper time saver. I really think Xero should up their game on this and allow the option to auto apply the rule.

Having to click OK on applied rules- does speed up reconciliation, however, automated rules for daily regular transactions would certainly further improve removing the time spent having to click OK! I have just began using Xero and currently I think this is a significant oversight in the continual improvement of development to this platform.

Where rules have been set up I would like to have the option for Xero to automatically post these without human intervention. I understand you wouldn't want this on all of the time (so it needs to be an option when creating the rule) but there are some rules that you cannot cash code (for example, bank transfer rules) that I click "ok" on 100% of the time - if Xero could automatically click "ok" for me it would create an efficiency.
Other software has this feature and it's brilliant.

I am over typing the different Bank Fee transactions over and over when I could simply click from a list that would autofill all the information, and there would be Xero errors

I agree with other comments that QBO have this feature and it serves the purpose of saving time in a much better way! It's like there's been half a job at automation here. If we've setup a bank rule, we should have the option of them reconciling automatically as well. Otherwise you sit and press 'ok' or cashcode and it's such a boring time-consuming task that you try to do as quickly as possible, so it doesn't really work as a checking process anyway.

I have a big client who wishes to use Xero but may have 1000 transactions per month with a lot of regular transactions - this would be the difference between Xero and Quickbooks for him, as QB has this feature.

I would love to see bank rule being applied automatically on specific bank account.
Typically on PayPal account, i have 4 rules set up that cover 99% of transactions. I want those 4 rules to auto-"ok" themselves.
This will save me thousands of clicks.
