Manual journals - Search for a journal by description or reference
Sorting Manual Journal Entries with a specific description or reference for easy search and find
8 votesThanks for the confirmation, Ann - I've just updated the idea title and categories to get this showing where others might be interested too.
Most recently we released a new Journal report with a lot more flexibility than the older version, and should help with finding a journal you're looking for.
You can search for a journal by filtering the Journal report by description 😁

IMPOVE FOR BETTER ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING
The only thing you seem to improve is reporting, and honestly, I’d bet a lot of people don’t even use those fancy reports because they’re unnecessary.
What’s missing are the basics. You don’t even have a proper general ledger customer or supplier report with running balances. Your customer and supplier reports simply aren’t designed that way. These are essential reports for accountants and auditors.
We also can’t do customer or supplier journals, and don’t even get me started on the lack of bulk offsetting of credits.
I love Xero overall, but these areas need serious attention. You are losing clients,…

Manual Journals - Ability to Sort and Filter search results
Currently you are unable to concurrently search and sort results in manual journals, and can only do one or the other. Searching resets the sort to default (newest first), and sorting clears search parameters.
Please consider adding the ability to do both.
6 votesHey Jon, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to sort and filter manual journals from the Manual Journals screen would make things a lot easier, especially when you're trying to track something down quickly.
We really appreciate you calling out how this could save time and help streamline your workflow. While some sorting/filtering is possible via the Manual Journal screen, we get that it’s not quite the same and adds a few extra steps.
This idea’s now in the Gaining Support stage. Every vote and comment helps us understand how useful this would be for the wider Xero community and gives our product team more insight when planning what’s next.

Manual Journals - Import additional lines into an existing manual journal
Since system allows to import manual journal with up to 300 lines cap, it would be of high value to have a feature to import additional lines into the existing manual journal (especially that we found an instruction on how to do that, but there is no functionality withing the Xero product)
Or as another alternative, if there is an option to merge existing manual journal entries than it will work perfectly as well.6 votes -
Manual journals - Export in a format that can be reimported inc. GST
Currently, I can export manual journals from a Xero organization for record saving. However, I cannot use the exported manual journals in Excel format to be imported to another organization directly. Because the exported manual journals show the GST amount in a separate line (GST account). Can you please add a new function to export manual journals for Xero importation? It means I can directly import the exported manual journals from one organization to another without editing.

Journal Import - Add field for tax basis
Journal Accrual or Cash Basis default setting and journal import column.
Default journal setting in is Xero is to post on a cash basis - apply a settings to select which basis is the default method (Cash or Accrual)
Import journals on accrual basis - add an extra column to the import template to state if the journal is accrual or cash basis or a default setting if blank.

Manual Journals - Automate process of journaling income allocations for stakeholders
why can't we set up income allocations by %, not jnl , as every time you change something , you need to redo your jnl, update work papers etc. There must times when finals have been sent out ( Urgent) and this has been over looked
This is a rather backwards step, esp when a trust could have 10 beneficiaries and need to do jnls ?!
Would also affect partnerships, they would be the easiest to fix as majority would be a 50/506 votes -
Manual Journals - Journal entry number listed
On the list of manual journals, the journal entry number should be listed, you need to click on each one to find the specific journal entry number. Why is this not displayed?

Manual Journals - Ability to archive repeating journal
Archiving repeating journals
We have had a number of repeating journals over the years. We have gotten to the point where when we want to update these journals, we have to trawl through these. It would be nice to archive the ones we don't need any more so we can just see the ones we need.5 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Manual Journal page - TAB after date should go to auto reverse date
Come on Xero, this should be the flow already, the tab position after entering the date should go to the reversing date, we accountants enter a lot of manual journals that are reversed and it is a pain in the **** to have to mouse click on the auto reverse date to be able to enter the date...
This is a easy fix, this is just the tab index in the page...
5 votesThanks for sharing this great idea, Leandro. We can see how changing the keyboard tab order on the Manual Journal screen would make entering reversing journals more efficient.
We've moved your idea to the 'Gaining Support' stage. This means it's now visible to the wider Xero community, who can vote and add comments to show their support. This collective feedback is a key way our product team gauges demand for new features.
While your idea is gaining support, we wanted to share a couple of other related ideas that you and other supporters might be interested in:
- There's an existing idea to have the reversing journal automatically update when the original journal is edited. You can find it here: Manual Journals - Editing journal with auto-reversal to update related journal/s
- For a potential workaround in the meantime, some users explore third-party browser extensions which can offer more customised keyboard navigation.…

Manual Journals - Ability to see draft without having to click on the tab
It would be useful in the manual journal screen if it indicated there were draft manual journals without having to click on the tab. When using repeating journals which are saved as draft each month you have to remember they are there to attend to.

Manual Journals - Allow reversed manual journals to be visible on Xero
At the moment, if you reverse a journal with the same date as the original journal, it actually deletes both the original journal and the reversed journal from your manual journal listing in Xero. (You are only likely to do this in error, and it would not be immediately obvious to you as to what you have done). Both journals immediately become invisible and both are thus then uneditable. This should not be the case, there should be an ability to correct your mistakes. The only way to discover your mistake is by the 'Journal report' where you can see…
4 votesHi Neil, thanks for sharing your idea here. We appreciate the need for having a clear view of the reversed journals. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community so they can share their thoughts and vote on this as well. We will monitor this space for more traction in the meantime.

Repeating Journals - Option to switch from "post" to "draft"
I would like the ability to stop repeat journals set to "post" from posting automatically and edit them to generate as "draft".
I can't see a way to do this currently and have to delete and re-create which is tiresome
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, we appreciate you explaining how switching repeating journals from "post" to "draft" could help your workflow.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

Manual Journals: Backdate repeating manual journals past last financial year
Have the ability to create Manual Repeat Journals for older date ranges (3 years ago). The current restrictions on this should be allowed once a Lock Date is implemented.
Otherwise you get an error like:
The Next Journal Date entered is prior to the start of your previous financial year.This is very fustrating.

Manual Journals - add drag and drop to import feature
Add drag and drop import feature or allow multiple journals to be import at the same time. For example adding daily sales/payment journals this would a gamechanger in time it take to complete these tasks
3 votesHi everyone, as a quick confirmation through the idea - Right now you can use a CSV file to enter data and import multiple manual journals at once.
However, as per the request in this idea it is not currently possible to select or drag and drop multiple files to upload and create multiple manual journals at once.
If this is something you'd find valuable please add your support to this idea. We're interested to understand the community appetite in this feature.

Manual Journals - Assign to a customer as a Bilable Expense/Credit
It would be good if the "Manual Journal" can be linked to Customer and view at "Billable Expenses - Outstanding".

Manual Journal Entries - Add detailed history
Hi Team,
We would like to highlight that in India, it is a regulatory requirement to maintain an edit log (Audit Trail) based on the Triple ‘W’ Approach – When, Who, and What.
For example, if a journal entry is edited, the system should capture and display:
Previous values (amount, GL code, date, narration, etc.)
Since this is a regulatory requirement, could you please confirm if an enhancement can be made to comply with this, and share an estimated timeline?
Looking forward to your confirmation.
