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
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.

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

Im guessing this is a legacy issue from back before we had a contact field for a given transaction, but it really needs to be fixed for proper revenue recognition. Right now I need to manually type in a customer in the description field, get rid of any narration that would appear there, then manually add it to the contact field for every instance of rev rec by customer in a report outside of xero. This will not work for any saas company of any scale.

CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER Journals needs to be added to the system????? And a proper detailed CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER DETAILED LEDGER - Without the allocation of payments AND credit note splits with THE ACTUAL DETAIL on the bank and jnls so that one can see what is going on. WITH opening and CLOSING Balances? i have seen HUNDEREDS op people complain about this??? come on XERO? YOU CAN DO THIS/? EVERYTHING else is top notch but your cust and supp ledgers needs to be fixed and one needs to be able to do a proper cust and supp journal entry. especially from an audit point of view.

This is extremely critical for us as a business - We cannot use some of our reports without it as it does not accurately reflect our sales by customer totals.

This is super critical for us! It will reduce the time required to make manual adjustments to the reports which can be hours if you're looking at 12 month's worth of data.
