  1. why can't we set up income allocations by %, not jnl , as every time you change something , you need to redo your jnl, update work papers etc. There must times when finals have been sent out ( Urgent) and this has been over looked
    This is a rather backwards step, esp when a trust could have 10 beneficiaries and need to do jnls ?!
    Would also affect partnerships, they would be the easiest to fix as majority would be a 50/50

  2. Placeholders are really useful in repeating manual journal entry - could we please have them in regular manual journals?

    Oftentimes it will be necessary to repeat a series of manual entries when realising income in advance as revenue however the amounts will vary so a manual journal is required for each instance.

    Being able to have [Month] etc in the narration would make it much faster to populate each entry. [Example: "Revenue realised in [Month]"

  3. Ability to set as default whether the "Show journal on cash basis reports" should be ticked or un-ticked on manual journals

    Hi everyone, we'd like to provide an update as we’ve recently launched the new Manual Journals experience, in which this idea has now been addressed.

    From the Manual Journals list, you can toggle the “Show manual journals on a cash basis” setting on or off. This sets the default for all journals you create in that org, and it can also be changed within individual journals.

    Updated 24 Sep - This is currently available in US, AU and NZ only, but we’re planning to roll it out to other regions soon. I’ll keep this thread updated as it lands in more places.

  4. Adding description when users export Manual Journals in PDF.

    Purpose: Users’ can have better notes, as they can see the description in the PDF document.

    Hi team, we appreciate the conversation however we want to be open that we don't have any short term plans for changing the export of Manual Journals in the near term.

    Not getting a lot of community support over time, this idea will soon be removed. If it something you feel very passionate about you are welcome to restart and see if there is renewed interest from the community.

  5. To have an option to automatically update the reversing journal.

    Purpose: To save time and help avoid errors in updating both entries.

    Hi community, thanks for your input and support into this idea for auto updating related journals when an auto-reversing journal is edited. 

    While the team began to look into work involved, priorities have shifted and this is not something we'll be looking to develop at this time. 

    We'll move the status back to submitted and keep you informed if there is any movement.

  6. Ability to process a manual journal in foreign currency and to pull the exchange rate on the date of the journal.

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback and highlighting the need for multi-currency manual journals, and being able to see the FX rate directly in the journal.

    We understand the needs in this space have close ties with this idea for being able to journal to bank accounts, and this is something we have intentions of doing deeper discovery around in the longer term. However, we want to be upfront that this work isn't roadmapped right now.

    Though we appreciate not the straight forward approach that you’re after here - currently you can create the journal via a bill in the relevant foreign currency. Entering positive and negative lines for the debit and credit entries, which results in a 0.00 bill total once approved. The bill lines are converted to your organisation’s base currency using the bill’s FX rate, and the transaction won’t revalue.

    As soon as there's movement…

    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.

  8. Please can we have currency journals?

    (I cannot see why this functionality has been excluded in Xero for years. Please can we have this asap seeing that the Comprehensive plan is 50% more than the next plan beneath it. Journals are the bread and butter of bookkeeping)
