The ability to assign contact in manual journals.
Purpose: To enable to track journal entries with contact name
Hi team, we're pleased to share that this work is now underway.
Our intention is to allow you to associate a contact per line in a manual journal.
We appreciate there is a lot of interest in progress for this feature and I'll be back to share as soon as we have more news to update you on, here.

Agreed 100% - glad I am not the only one that finds this totally lacking in Xero. It's a real problem navigating your way around supplier and customer balances.
A simple detailed supplier ledger and customer ledger is all we need. Showing balance brought forward with bills and payments........Simple. -

Accrual of certain expenses require recording of withholding tax pending receipt of invoice. When I download the withholding tax GL, I need the Contact name for each line item.

This is very important to us.
I need Manual Journal to move balance between Vendors or Customers, not due to wrong invoice/bill or reversal.
Contact column is required to adjust asset and liability account balances using Manual Journal entries.
I don't think this is a very difficult feature to implement. Quickbooks has this feature, I hope to see it in Xero soon.

The ability to post a journal entry to a customer account or a supplier account, it would extend functionality greatly.

Use case:
Deferred revenue or prepaid expenses. When we pay for a service annually in advance, we book it to prepaid expenses (B/S assets), then create a monthly repeating manual journal to expense it from the prepaids.But, at the end of the month or year, we can not see the prepaids balances by contact because we can not enter contact field in the manual journals (same applies to deferred revenue).
We request the ability to add contact to manual journals and this be an optional entry for those who prefer not use that field.

This was originally submitted in May 2023, STOP dragging your feet!!! This really is a very important and basic accounting necessity.

Come one, Xero! I love your system, but this is a serious shortcoming. Every other accounting system has this ability, and it should be a very easy thing to implement!

We accumulate stage payments made by customers into a control account via "receive money", against a contact. When we invoice we "take" the payment from the control account, again all fine with a contact. The issue arises when we need to journal the "odd" amount as a write off or A N Other balancing adjustment. Currently we post a manual journal but no contact information. Running a summary by contact on the control account provides a false picture of the contact's account status.
