Bank Feeds - Add a transaction code and use on the account transaction
Transactions imported by Yodlee Bank Feed do not display in the chronological order that they occur in my online banking portal or bank statements.
As I have a lot of bank transactions on any given day, this makes it time consuming to do any kind of reconciliation between by online bank account and my bank feed import as I have to match each transaction up in the different orders they appear.
This is a regular occurrence as Yodlee sometimes imports transactions part way through a day and I have to work out where I got up to processing these transactions through my external CRM accounts receivable system, which I need to use instead of Xero accounts receivable.
If Yodlee allowed you to designate the transaction order in your bank feed eg. top of the bank feed is the newest transaction chronologically, Xero could create a system generated transaction reference number which matched the order in which the transactions came into Xero.
This transaction reference number could also be pushed through into GL transactions created from the bank feed.
The transaction reference would allow me to easily sort my Accounting transaction report and work out where I had finished processing my transactions.
