Enter your idea

I am also curious to know the timeline of when this will be released.

Thanks for the update, Kelly. Honestly, I'd given up hope on this one after five years, so it's good to see movement.

Quick questions for us to plan around:

Timeline: What's your estimated delivery window (quarter/month)?

Notification: How will we know when this ships, release notes, email notification, in-app alert?

This is great news! Is there a timeline that we can expect to finally be able to accomplish this?

Wonderful. Thank you!

Sometimes we need to recognize revenue using manual journals, with a debit to Unbilled Receivables and a credit to Revenue. We then issue the invoices in installments. It is very important to attach a contact name to the manual journals, as this allows us to run the Sales by Contact report.

This just made my day! Could you share any thoughts on timelines please?

Please enable an (optional) contact field for manual journals. We (and everyone else I'm sure) analyse monthly transaction data on a supplier contact level and it is very difficult to do this when the contact field is left blank. Aware you can enter a contact name in the description or use tracking categories but that is a workaround and incredibly inefficient.

Any update would be appreciated - This has become a somewhat crucial matter for a client.

Thanks - please inform me when this feature is released.

This is a horrible flaw in this system. There is no way to run reports to match to the vendor. Seems every other system out there has this basic functionality.

This is just what's needed ^^

Thanks so much. It is good to know that Xero is listening.

Music to my ears!!

Good to see this has moved to discovery, and just agreeing with all of the posts below and hopefully this will get pushed a little higher to the top. We complete an insane amount of manual work in a spreadsheet for prepayments and unearned revenue to ensure the balance sheet accounts by customer / supplier are correct. prepayments and unearned revenue is essential part of all book keeping and accounting. its not a nice to have feature, its absolutely a critical part of the financial reports. And without that feature, every one has work arounds or hacks to make up for the xero limitation. Honestly, it amazes me what 'new features' get released that so pretty, but items that are critical to accurate financial reporting are not addressed. Also you could just have an accrual accounting feature, where when you enter a bill or invoice, you can choose how many months it's to be recognised over. how amazing would that be xero. THAT would mind blowing.

Amen! Make this happen Xero! We're getting sick of waiting.

This idea was posted on October 13 2022. Why does it take Xero 13.5 years to react? How many votes do you need? Being on your 'roadmap' is meaningless. You may well be 'focused on other important items of work' but this is misstion critical for the 288 users who have voted for it. Instead of meaningleess redsigns which effectively add nothing useful, DO SOMETHING WHICH YOUR USERS ARE REPEATEDLY CRYING OUT FOR, and have been for the last 13 years!

Insane how this ticket is 13 yrs old.... do you think it might get to 15?

I also agree on Bernice's comment "Xero, HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY?????????? Getting tired of nagging for basics to be done. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!!".

MJs must have contact field and we must be able to see the transactions in the contact ledger. We cant track our prepaids, deferred revenue amortizations and more.

Kelly July 2025 to date when is this problem going to be solved

Xero, HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY??????????
