Enter your idea

This is just what's needed ^^

Thanks so much. It is good to know that Xero is listening.

Music to my ears!!

Good to see this has moved to discovery, and just agreeing with all of the posts below and hopefully this will get pushed a little higher to the top. We complete an insane amount of manual work in a spreadsheet for prepayments and unearned revenue to ensure the balance sheet accounts by customer / supplier are correct. prepayments and unearned revenue is essential part of all book keeping and accounting. its not a nice to have feature, its absolutely a critical part of the financial reports. And without that feature, every one has work arounds or hacks to make up for the xero limitation. Honestly, it amazes me what 'new features' get released that so pretty, but items that are critical to accurate financial reporting are not addressed. Also you could just have an accrual accounting feature, where when you enter a bill or invoice, you can choose how many months it's to be recognised over. how amazing would that be xero. THAT would mind blowing.

Amen! Make this happen Xero! We're getting sick of waiting.

This idea was posted on October 13 2022. Why does it take Xero 13.5 years to react? How many votes do you need? Being on your 'roadmap' is meaningless. You may well be 'focused on other important items of work' but this is misstion critical for the 288 users who have voted for it. Instead of meaningleess redsigns which effectively add nothing useful, DO SOMETHING WHICH YOUR USERS ARE REPEATEDLY CRYING OUT FOR, and have been for the last 13 years!

Insane how this ticket is 13 yrs old.... do you think it might get to 15?

I also agree on Bernice's comment "Xero, HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY?????????? Getting tired of nagging for basics to be done. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!!".

MJs must have contact field and we must be able to see the transactions in the contact ledger. We cant track our prepaids, deferred revenue amortizations and more.

Kelly July 2025 to date when is this problem going to be solved

Xero, HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY??????????

PLEASE ASSIST!!!!!

The only thing you seem to improve is reporting, and honestly, I’d bet a lot of people don’t even use those fancy reports because they’re unnecessary.

What’s missing are the basics. You don’t even have a proper general ledger customer or supplier report with running balances. Your customer and supplier reports simply aren’t designed that way. These are essential reports for accountants and auditors.

We also can’t do customer or supplier journals, and don’t even get me started on the lack of bulk offsetting of credits.

I love Xero overall, but these areas need serious attention. You are losing clients, trust me, we know this because we are an accounting firm, because the system doesn’t meet basic accounting needs.

On top of that, contacts are all over the place. Anyone can create a contact, there are no proper restrictions in place, and user permissions are extremely limited and basic.

These are the things people have been asking and begging for, for years. Please focus on fixing these core issues.

its not a NICE TO HAVE, Damit its Critical, Xero really sometimes misses the plot!!

journal options are critical for daily capturing and reconciling purposes

Xero reporting is vast, but often overthought. A simple debtors and creditors detailed ledger and journal options are critical for daily capturing and reconciling purposes. Not all information has value from just an aging perspective, so please give us some reports that leave aging out of the equation completely. Please Xero - go back to basics, bookkeepers and creditors / debtors clerks also need this program to work for them.

I find having to sift through all the allocations so onerous and time consuming. all we need are invoices( debtors or creditors) so we can do a quick view - without having to delete all the allocations - PLEASE - a very simple ask. TIA

It seems this has been a request on numerous occasions from companies (over the past few years), but nothing seems to be done. Journals are required to be processed on customer/supplier accounts. Please note this is a critical function as raising credit/debit notes will raise red flags to auditors and SARS And likewise a proper detailed ledger for suppliers and customers are very important!!!

This was never added even though it has been request since 2013

Amazing this is still outstanding after 11 years. It's such a critical piece of reporting functionality for any business using Xero to drive financial performance on a monthly basis.

I think this is why the newer platforms like Rillet and Campfire are going to eat up a lot of mid sized companies still on Xero.

Please advise on how we load Debtors and Supplier Journals?
