Enter your idea

I want Xero to automatically set contact names when importing transactions from bank feeds, but this doesn't happen on of my several 'bank feeds' where the 'payee name' is blank and the actual payee data appears in the 'description' field instead.

This means that the option to set the contact name directly from the payee field (when using bank rules) doesn't work and I have to manually enter the contact name for every transaction when reconciling the account transactions. Extremely tedious and labour intensive!

When I edit section 2 of the bank rule the choices on the picklist are 1. "During bank reconciliation", 2. "To and existing or new contact", or 3. "From the payee" - none of which can auto-populate the contact name for me.

Can you please add "From the description" as a 4th option to the picklist please?

Kind regards,

Chris
