Post manual journal entries to bank/cash accounts
Remove the limitation on posting manual journal entries to bank/cash accounts. I end up spending way too much time on manual workarounds (payroll entries for example, you have to use a "bill" to replace the functionality of a journal entry). It ends up taking way more time working around the limitation than its worth. As a new user of Xero, I'm incredulous. I've worked with multiple accounting software platforms over the years, and never been exposed to such a massive limitation like this. It's almost a dealbreaker, and for some clients it certainly is. I've been looking for a viable…
6 votesHi Scott, appreciate your feedback of what you find both good and limiting when using Xero.
When you mention the need to create manual journals to bank or cash accounts are there some common situations you find yourself needing this?
For the payroll transaction I wonder if bank rules could help identify and create the transaction in Xero for you, rather than having to enter this as a bill?
Bank rules and the use of spend and receive money through reconciliation may also be able to help for other scenarios too?

Document Packs - Edit sent pack
Be able to edit sent document packs.
Purpose: for when clients ask you to send the pack to a different email address or you want to rename the document pack, or add another document.
88 votesHi community, thanks for your support and sharing in the idea here. Diving into your comments, there are a few different ideas that we're picking up on within this one thread;
- ability to change the email address/contact of a sent pack
- ability to add additional documents to a sent pack, and
- the ability to edit metadata of a sent pack
For the first, we'd like to better understand what is driving the need to change the email address? is it down to a typo when entering it? or if its on a tax return, is it wrong on the client record etc?
Although it's not possible to add additional documents to a pack right now, creating and sending a new document pack is essentially the same - Is there any reason this isn't suitable?
Lastly, it'd be good to get more substance of how the ability to rename a pack…

Xero HQ | Report Templates - Increase number of Director & Partner fields
Currently there is only the ability to enter 4 Directors names into the Report fields in 'Advanced accounting › Report fields and schedules'
So when we run the advisor reports, on the Director Declaration's page we have to manually type in the extra directors.
Can you increase the fields for more than 4 directors and even more than 4 partners.12 votesThanks for engaging and sharing the idea here - Having a deeper read to interpret, there's the ability to add more client report fields that can be included in your report templates yourself (such as Director 5, Director 6 etc) - See detail in our help here.
A couple of pointers to note, are;
- ensure you have the Edit report templates permission, then
- add the new client report fields at Xero HQ level first; this'll make them available to add in your Report templates. Then, add the names of the directors at the client level.
We hope this helps you overcome the idea here, let us know if this doesn't quite accomplish what you're asking.

Xero HQ - Document Packs automated reminders
As we have in XPM for unsigned documents, can we please have automated reminders for unsigned document packs?
24 votesHi everyone, we’ve made an update to reminders so you can now send multiple reminders at once - you can find out more about it 👉 here. We are hoping that this will reduce the time spent sending reminders for document packs.
We aren’t ruling out automated reminders in future though, so give it a go and let us know your thoughts!
