Ability to enter actual statement balance and date, compared to just what the bank feed assumes it to be
Ability to enter actual statement balance and statement date (i.e. from a PDF), compared to what the bank feed assumes it to be. This way we can verify that a user has actually checked the bank balance and the last date it was verified (and for what value). Xero is far to easy to post historic transactions without a clear reconciliation (due to always having items in "unreconciled" at any point in time.
There could be a link from the Bank reconciliation report, or as mentioned above, a box to enter last statement balance and date, for better oversight all within Xero.
See visual of idea attached, enabling any user (accountant, team or owner) to know the bank has actively reconciled and the bank data in Xero is correct.
