Does anyone know what the point of this forum is when we don't get an answer from Xero? So frustrating!

I've got a few hundred automatic journals that have been coded incorrectly. As there are other entries using the same account and tax rate, I can't find and recode the one entry in each in the absence of being able to use description as a condition.

Would be immensely useful for attaching tracking category based on description rather than having to open each invoice

To give an example, I'm trying to recode wages payments that have not been put to the payables account. They are a bulk payment out of the bank account and the only unique identifier that I have is the description "wages". Now I have to open all 52 separately to recode them.

Huge productivity benefit if Find & Recode can search on descriptions, not
just contact -
Elin Bark commented
Would be great to be able to search by description and using things like "contains" like in excel so that when clients use descriptors with placeholders that change you could search for part of the description and it looked at it across all contacts etc.

Since there is a Description field, we should be able to use it to filter information to find and recode.

It actually seems silly that you can sort by every other field EXCEPT for the most useful one. Seems like it's been done on purpose.

Being able to Find and Recode by Description (as opposed to Reference) is more useful as bank feeds and bank reconcilitation more often uses the Description field per line item rather than the Reference field per transaction

Cameron McPherson commented
Surely this is as simple as ticking a box to allow one more field in the list that's already included! Would save a lot of time given the bank rec feature often adds into to the description field.

Find and recode by description would be really useful. We have updated our chart of accounts and need to recode, but going to be a long job without ability to do this.

Would save so much time!

I completely agree, especially for someone like me who needs to recode different transaction lines.

Sarah Edwards commented
Yes, please!

David Forster commented
This would be such a great addition to the find & recode option. I can filter in say Account Transactions using description with a contains option. Why is this not included as am option in Find & Recode? I understand that there is likely to be a big impact on performance BUT..... In short, this would be a real help in our business!

Every year I need to tidy up my accounts and every year I can't believe this still hasn't been implemented.
