    Agree fully with the necessity for Customer and Supplier Journals and detailed Ledger Reports.

    Please Xero, this is a basic accounting necessity!!!

  • Raghav Verma commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's been over a year and no response from Xero on this? This is really critical, it affects so many use cases. We are nearing the end of 2024 and we still can't add a contact in a Journal entry. This is unbelievable!

    Manual/Repeating Journals - Is it possible to add a Contact name to a manual journal posted as it is easier during audits and helpful while reviewing the General ledger. We are facing this issue especially for prepayment/accrual/deferred income

  • Amanda Hone commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feature is critical, Xero please implement!!

  • Gail Forbes commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, please add this. Would definitely make life one helluva lot easier when trying to recon with supplier accounts.

  • Michelle Czarnecki commented  ·   ·  Report

    Without the ability to schedule amortization within a bill or invoice, proper accounting of just about any SaaS revenue or spending MUST be done via a manual journal. Without any ability to tag these journals with a contact name, there is no way to do any sort of decent revenue/expense reporting by contact within Xero, nor via any third party tools which rely on imported data, resulting in countless hours of manual work-arounds each month.

  • Miljana Prelic commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feature would but down on manual work so much because I could filter by contact name on manual entries. I spent so much time trying to match up accrual journals with the real income from clients. it's sort of riculous and needless

  • Anne Shourounis commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this feature. It helps a ton when you have multiple companies and there are lots of inter-co loans. I have to do double the entries to get to the same outcome. Please help! Conisdering going back to QBO.

  • Amanda Hone commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree and have commented on this on numerous occasions!!!

    Please Xero this is an absolute necessity

  • Mike Tombs commented  ·   ·  Report

    Maybe not a big deal for other users, but for accountants and bookkeepers, journals to supplier and customer accounts is really useful.

  • St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Church Perth commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is an important feature assigning the customer name or supplier name to Journal. This effects the customer or supplier accounts . Kindly incorporate this feature ASAP

    Thanks

    Another vote for this. I've just moved over to Xero an am amazed such a basic feature, a feature available on all other accounting systems I've used, isn't available.

  • Amanda Hone commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am one of many who have requested this feature and agree that it is CRITICAL!!

  • Parbatie Mohammed commented  ·   ·  Report

    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!

  • Matthew Kanes commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.
