Settings - Ability to lock bank Reconciliation Period
To be able to lock the bank once reconciled, so no more transactions can be entered or manually forced through the bank

Hi team, sorry it's taken so long for us to return to the idea here.
I appreciate the feedback from my last update where I suggested lock dates as an option and hear why this isn't a viable option for some.
If you're based in the US or CA you may want to check out our newer feature 'Reconcile period' that enables you to reconcile and close period within each bank account.
It'd be good to hear if users from other regions in this idea believe reconcile period would resolve what you're after here and I can merge in to this idea where we're continuing to track interest for expanding this feature to other region. Thanks

@Kelly Munro Xero: Lock dates wouldn't work as you couldn't enter late bills. The bank should never change, but bills could still come in at a later date.

Agreed Emma! It would be great to just be able to lock the bank

No - lock dates aren't appropriate for our requrest. We need to lock the bank on certain clients who insist on entering amounts manually treating Xero as if it were Sage desktop!
If lock dates could be set for specific areas that would be an exceptional addition to the program :)
