  1. Find and match on bank rec to still go green when there is an entry on the discuss tab.

    Currently the right hand side of the bank rec will only turn green if there is a possible match and nothing in the discuss tab. If there is something in the discuss tab it will not turn green even if there is a match.

    It would be great if the border of the box still turned green whilst displaying the comment to indicate that there is a possible match to allow the user to review and ok the transaction.

  2. Bank items to reconcile list ability to toggle all items between 'discuss' and 'match' together as it is easy to miss if an item is showing as 'discuss' but client has uploaded a bill or invoice and it can now be matched

    Hi community, it’s been a while since our last update. Just wanted to share a quick status change and keep everyone in the loop.

    We’ve updated the idea on bank reconciliation workflows to Gaining support, so it’s easier for the community and the product team to track interest. The idea will stay open for votes and comments, so adding any extra context about your workflow and inviting others to share their experiences can help build a clearer picture of the need.

    We’ll let you know if anything changes as the idea progresses.

  3. Xero allows invoices to be created in a foreign currency (with the premium subscription plan) but when clients make these payments (which get converted to the base currency) they are not able to be reconciled in the Xero app as both the currency and amount are different so they don’t match.

    On the web, there is an option that can be unchecked to show foreign currency items, which then allows the payment to be reconciled. In my case it is ‘show NZD items only’.

    A similar item would ideally be added to the Xero app so those paid in a…

  4. TIME SAVER: I would like to be able to quick edit the reference details in the transactions list view, instead of having to click on each transaction > edit > save.

  5. It would be really helpful if I could produce reports (by various time periods as usual) that list all the bank reconciliations that I have posted to my various accounts that I have created. This is useful for me to check in my book-keeping role to ensure that I have reconciled everything to the correct account, especially before passing everything to my accountant to produce the accounts.

    Example:
    Does my "Postage & Stationery" account include only postage and stationery bank statement reconciliations?
    Does my "Salaries" account include only salary bank statement reconciliations?

    etc etc

  6. On bank header screen where it shows "Statement Balance" and "Balance in Xero" could we have a simple "Difference" calculation to show the actual amount of the difference.

    Hi Valerie, while not shown in the Bank header, you can run the Bank Reconciliation report which will show you the balance out by figure. If the Imported statement balance hasn't imported or doesn't match your actual bank statement ending balance, you can enter this yourself at the top of the report and update so Xero will show a calculated balance out by amount.

  7. I have a number of Telstra accounts that all come due within a day of each other. Xero can't tell the difference between the rules. I was thinking that when doing reconciliations, where it has the drop down tab "Options" if you could add "Choose a Bank Rule" it would save me having to ignore the wrong rule chosen by Xero and and manually have to fill in the data for the relevant Telstra Account when it comes in.

  8. It would be very useful to be able to generate a Bill when Reconciling, instead of just being able to "Spend Money". This would allow much better tracking of transactions, since money leaving an account via Spent Money is far less visible than when a Bill is paid.

    Specifically:

    When PayPal is enabled as a Payment Method, and a customer pays their Invoice this way, the associated PayPal account shows two entries in the Bank Feed ready for Reconciliation:
    1) A transaction fee is deducted from the PayPal account.
    2) The full amount of the payment into the PayPal account.

    Hi Faris, generally as a bill is received prior to payment so currently it's expected that the bill would already exist in Xero when reconciling. 

    Appreciate your example of where this could create efficiency and we'll get an idea of the support in this here. 🙂

    In the meantime, depending on your type of sales you may find an integration in our App Store that could serve by automatically creating the transactions in Xero. 

  9. Almost all the payment providers are now settling the amounts with the fees deducted from the captured/sale amount. This needs to be reconciled as two lines 1) Transfer to cash control account and 2) Bank fees.
    Currently there is no way to create a rule for this, hence it is a big overhead for the reconciliation, with almost a large chunk of card sale having to go through this process.

    Can the product team please take care of this on priority? thanks

    Hi Sandra, could you provide a bit more detail of the idea you have here? Would this be for the ability to automatically reconcile transfer transactions from one bank account to another?

  11. Currently a new supplier is created in your contact list every time a transaction is made which results in too many contacts considering there could be very small items of spend at multiple stores on card etc. I only want to see key repeating suppliers in my contact list.

    To enable review of all rules in place rather than having to select each one individually. This will enable duplications to be removed, rules not working to be fixed etc etc

  13. Add a "not" argument to bank rules to allow for a greater control

    e.g. bank text does not contain "example" or, amount isn't "x.xx"

  14. Instead of having to scroll through the account transactions / bank statements to get to the bottom in order to change the page number you are on. Either having this bar at the top as well or also having this bar move wiht you so you can always change the page as needed.

  15. When you are in cash coding it would be useful to be able to add an invoice to the line before it is reconciled.
    If clients do not use the bills function then attaching an invoice to a transaction is time consuming and fiddly.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the support we've received through this idea. Without beating around the bush we don't have any short term plans for enabling the import of spend and receive money transactions. This may be something we look into further down the track so we'll continue to track and review the idea here.

    For Xero Partners you could look to use the Conversion toolbox to import bank transactions for your clients.

  17. Filter/Search in Cash coding screen.

    Please create the ability to filter or search for names or words in the cash coding screen. When you have a big catch up client with 2000 entries this would save so much time.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that while there's no export option on the Account Transactions screen itself, it is possible to export a list of unreconciled Account Transactions with the Business Bank Account Reconciliation Summary report. If you export a copy of this to Excel you'll find the sections for Plus Outstanding Payments and Less Outstanding Receipts which are the unreconciled account transactions. Hope that helps 😊

  19. My suggestion is different colors for New Spend Money and New Receive Money Tab so they are easy to differentiate. Even if the New Receive Money Tab could be a darker tone of the same color, it would really helpful and would still look good.

  20. Create batch files for spend money transactions so if a payment needs to be made to say the ATO can create a batch file and upload to bank without needing an invoice.
