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.

Come on Xero - lets go - time to roll this feature out - the value of having the this level of detail is immense in terms of reconciling prepaids, deferred revenue, and a whole host of other transactional data. GO GO GO.

2023 is coming to an end and Xero hasn't implemented this... U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E :(

For the past four years, our organisation has been using XERO. Unfortunately, an essential feature has been conspicuously absent from the platform since its inception.
Should this critical feature not be integrated shortly, we will, regrettably, be compelled to transition to alternative software solutions.
While we hold the belief that XERO boasts a proficient team of developers, the rationale behind the delayed implementation of this crucial feature remains unclear to us.

We need more people to vote the more votes the more they will consider it apparently. It's absolutely ridiculous as this is such a standard accounting feature that should be there.

This is almost the only non-existing feature holding us back from converting other companies in the group to Xero. This is absolutely critical!

This is such a critical feature I'm surprised doesn't exist. When we're assessing spend with a particular supplier we want to include accruals and prepayments. Currently involves a lot of manual intervention to allocate a contact to an accrual/prepayment journal.
Considering switching to another platform if this doesn't get fixed soon. -

In order for us to offset the amount we are owed by a debtor, who is also a creditor, we are in desperate need of this functionality

Be able to link a contact to a manual journal and show on the contacts activity as well as on output transaction reports in orde r to get toal for a single contact in a single report so when analysing chart of account balance can separate all transactions by contact. My example was I had some non-cash interest earned to manual journal in, but this will not come out in a report as the journal type is not connected to the corresponding contact the interest relates to.
Can this be a feature update?

This feature is critical enough for my team that we are considering switching to QBO in order to obtain it.

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.
