Manual Journals - Assign Contact name to journal
The ability to assign contact in manual journals.
Purpose: To enable to track journal entries with contact name
Thanks so much for your continued interest and feedback about how valuable adding a contact to a manual journal would be for you, your business, and clients.
We wanted to share that we’re making good headway in this space. For customers in the US, we’ve now released our new manual journals experience, which lays important foundations for us to build on capabilities like adding contacts to manual journals.
While this specific functionality isn’t available just yet, it's still on the roadmap and is actively being worked through by our product team. We’ll continue to share updates as progress is made.

Please make this feature available quickly. We recently switched to Xero and cannot link our journal entries to the respective creditors or debtors. Xero Team, please address this quickly, Thanks!

This is a standard feature across ALL accounting software I've ever worked on. It's a critical function and should be addressed urgently!! Get the must haves right please before adding fancy nice to have features.

I am currently deciding which software to use and may not Xero if I cannot aside names to Journal entries

Voted Critical, but given that's been on the list since early 2022, perhaps Xero thinks otherwise.

This is such a critical feature which is missing in Xero and should be addressed by them as a matter of urgency!!!

I fully agree with Ethan's request.
A Customer and Supplier Detailed Ledger report is critical, this must reflect all Invoices, payments and journals as separate items as per the attached example.

This feature feels like it should be a basic requirement. I need to track movements from the balance sheet to p&l and would like to use a specific contact to quickly reconcile the movements.
It is for deferred income which has already come up in this thread but there would be many useful ways to use this feature. -

Upvoted as critical. Your primary competition has this feature. I'm new to the Xero platform after leaving your competitor. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong when trying to make a journal entry. The ability to assign a contact so that you can track all transactions with that contact is (in my mind) a basic feature. I'm struggling to figure out how to assign tenant security deposits to the individual tenants they belong to and have them show up in that tenants account. I'm sure there's a workaround....but this is just odd.

Please prioritize this product feature. I feel that less urgent product designs and features that have been deployed recently are not as critical. This would save a substantial amount of time on my reconciliations and accounting practices
