Reconciliation - Allow credit notes to show and be selected on the find & match screen
Ability to show and can select credit notes on the find & match screen.
Purpose: To save time rather than having to go in and allocate the credit note against an invoice then going back to the bank reconciliation screen.

Hi community, first off thank you for the continued interest and feedback surrounding this idea. We’re continuing to build on the bank reconciliation experience in Xero and recognise the ways this feature will help improve the efficiency, flexibility and transparency of transactions in your business. Our team have done a lot of exploration into being able to surface and match Credit Notes when reconciling your bank account in Xero, and this is now in development.
We’ll shift the idea here into ‘Working on it’ and continue to update as there’s more detail of this to share.

This is a critical feature that needs urgent implementation. I understand that it is a difficult aspect to develop, however if resources are dedicated to the features we need instead of all the unnecessary changes that have been made recently the product would be a better fit for purpose and users would be alot happier. There has been too much negative feedback lately. Please listen.

I must say I agree with the comments below. It is soooo time consuming having to match credit notes individually to an invoice or mark as paid. Please XERO sort this one out

Absolutely shocking customer service!
Listen to your users needs and action. As a company you are only as good as your customers, disregard them and they will disregard you.
This is a basic accounting package feature. Act now or customers will look for alternatives. -

Am I the only one that finds the ideas we suggest as users - this and multi currency reporting are never something Xero are planning “at this time”. I would think if people who use the software are requesting it you would expect xero to at least look at it. However, they always seem to be sooo focussed on non essentials like changing reports!

Disappointing response which tells us nothing new. If there is a team focused on working to upgrade, why is something that has been requested for over ten years still only at the point where there are no plans....
Could you tell us why? -

Bonkers that this basic functionality is not on the roadmap.
The ability to replicate what your customer has done on their side when they reduce a payment against multiple invoices is fundamentally important to the client ledger reconciliation process...
The last several updates have added functionality around reporting that, to my mind is neither here nor there, while a basic and frequent accounting process step remains overly convoluted with no solution in sight after years on the request list!
Poor

This has been a request for years for Xero to sort out, and yet here we are being told its not happening AGAIN!
Very disappointed.

Dissapointing response from Xero - surely this should be an easy addition to make. :(

Extremely disappointing & frustrating that when paying customers in bulk payments that credit notes can not be included and shown on the remittance.

Thanks for finally putting a reply, however it is really disappointing. This is a basic feature available from other software providers and it is causing many of us issues from additional time allocating credit notes to having to explain statement and remittance differences. I would rather time was spent resolving this rather than the reporting features at this time.

Hi Kelly, thanks for your response - however your customers have been asking for this for many years, I've been with Xero now for 10 years and have been one of many asking for this change. Every time we get the same response that there are no plans for making this change. No doubt this thread will again be deleted an a new one will have to be created as this is a big issue for so many of us!

Crazy that this cannot be done in Xero

Disappointed that I have been requesting this feature for 12 years and my post on the old feature request section with over 500 votes no longer shows. Especially as it had got to the point that you removed the date on it as it was that old!

Basic stuff!!

Incredible this is not already a standard feature

Debbie Sermon commented
Fundamental functionality that is lacking. Should be a priority over new reports no one likes

This is crazy that Xero do not have this feature. Let’s do it Xero, make our lives easier pleaseeeeee

The biggest problem for us is that you can't produce a remittance advice for a supplier that shows the invoices and the credit notes separately. All they see is that we are part-paying an invoice or that an invoice is missing altogether, so they have to guess that we've allocated a credit note.
