When using Xero for a multi-entity organisation, tracking categories are essential for identifying which entity each transaction belongs to.
At present, opening/conversion balances entered at the conversion date appear as Unassigned in tracking reports, and there is no simple way to assign tracking categories to those balances.
This creates a recurring problem because the Unassigned tracking report is then cluttered with historical conversion balances, making it harder to identify genuinely uncoded transactions after the migration date.
In my case, I have approximately 73 opening balance entries dated 30 June 2026 across multiple entities. All post-conversion transactions are correctly tracked, but the opening balances continue to appear as Unassigned.
I would like Xero to add one or more of the following:
- Allow a tracking category to be assigned directly to conversion balances.
- Allow bulk assignment of tracking categories to conversion balances.
- Allow conversion balances to be excluded from the Unassigned tracking report.
- Provide a report filter to show only unassigned transactions after the conversion date.
- Allow bank, GST/tax, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable conversion balances to carry tracking categories where appropriate.
This would make the Unassigned tracking report far more useful as an ongoing control for businesses using tracking categories to manage multiple entities, divisions or cost centres.
Business benefit:
Users could reliably use the Unassigned report to identify new coding errors without having to repeatedly exclude historical opening balances from every review.
