PLEASE add this feature!!!

PLEASE add this feature!!!

This is critical in reconciling bank accounts.

This is a critical feature. Please make this a priority Xero!

This would solve two problems for us:
1 - ability to report out accrued and prepaid expenses by contact/vendor. Right now, there is no easy way to see what a department has spent on the IncomeStatement for each vendor when the original transaction is posted to a prepaid account.
2 - use Xero as a single source of truth for all payroll across internal employees (Paychex) and contractors. Paychex posts a JE for each run, but without contact level tracking, I can't see what we've paid these employees in Xero directly.

I can't believe its 2023 and this hasn't been added. I am recommending QBO for everyone. Too many random missing features like this to be used for any company that wants to do reporting.

Add a section to manual journals so that you can make adjustments for a specific vendor (customer).
For example, our customer signed a contract for subscription for 12 months. I show deffered revenue and then every month I transfer part of this deferred revenue to revenue. It is very difficult to track whether all deferred revenue has been converted into revenue if it is not possible to keep records of revenue by counterparties, especially if multi-currency accounting.

Please could this feature be added as its important to assign it to a specific contact as it will create a credit and will not show they are owing.

To add to this - we have just spent 3 hours debugging this to find out why the investment accounts don't add up to work out that the manual journal doesn't have the contact assigned. Please can you add this

This is a basic requirement - it need to be added.

I agree, I had a case where a client had posted an invoice payment to the wrong customer, and rather than create a simple Journal against the debtors to correct the customer payment we had to create a credit note for the client that needed a payment allocated and then an invoice to put the other customer back as owing?

How about when we defer income or post bad debt and want to correct the debtors to reflect these changes but we cannot adj the individual customer?

This is something Quickbooks provide as standard and I was very shocked to find out that Xero doesn't allow the same.

We urgently need a workable solution as discussed it's a basic requirement

This is a basic requirement - it need to be added.

I cannot however understand why the system does not allow you to just pass a simple customer or supplier journal – it is a basic function that all accounting packages have that I have ever worked on. Why complicate it

This is a very useful add in and helps analysis /budgeting / cash flow etc . I've seen this categorisation work really efficiently with Transaction reporting saves time having to tidy data and using Management accounts products . A lot of other systems have this functionality - can Xero catch up ?

We would like the option to use an 'Adjustment' to modify a clients credit balance. The current process means we need to raise an invoice to reduce the credit balance which effectively leads to an inaccurate record of actual work billed/invoiced for the client. This would be used when we want to use a credit balance from one entity to apply to another related entities invoice.

Really critical for us to track prepayment & accruals by supplier as we scale to get full picture of supplier spend

This will help with tracking Prepayments and Accruals, it'll be easy to see balance not released easily in Xero

To add a customisation for Manual Journals to be linked to Contacts?
We're having to type names of Contacts into descriptions and they don't show in Contact record.

This is a really important function. Even much more basic systems have the ability to do this
