  1. Similar to how "isReconciled" is supported by the API, allow it to be specified for the from/to account when creating a Bank Transfer rule. This would simplify the transfer process from external sources that are reconciled outside Xero.

    Hi Peter, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that for businesses regularly transferring funds between accounts, having both sides of the transfer reconciled automatically would help reduce repetitive steps.

    For now, setting up transfer rules on both bank accounts can help make matching the transactions quicker. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving transfer reconciliation.

    Hi David, appreciate you sharing your idea with us here. To get more understanding, can you share why you'd like to be able to download a bank statement that's being imported to Xero versus retrieving this from your banking portal?

  3. There is currently an uncoded statement lines report that you can run to view all uncoded/unreconciled statement lines. There is however no report that shows unreconciled account transactions for multiple bank accounts at once. You have to run this all separately for each account to be able to view or go into each account on the dashboard and filter on unreconciled. For an organization with multiple credit cards and accounts this is absolutely time consuming and not an efficient use of time. We need a report like the uncoded statement lines report that reports on unreconciled account transactions and this…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can appreciate the ability to view all uncoded account transactions on one report instead of having to go through each account. We're moving this idea to gain more support from the community. You may share this idea with your friends and colleagues who may also want to see these changes in Xero.

  4. When editing a transaction, I want to be able to edit the bank account the transaction is in.

  5. In the Xero Accounting App it would be really useful to be able to enter a receive money transaction. This option is only available in the desktop version but for those that receive cash on the move it would be helpful to be able to record this via the app, particularly as it won't show up in a bank feed.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how being able to create a Receive Money transaction directly in the Xero Accounting mobile app could make it easier to capture transactions while you're away from your computer.

    For now, if the payment has already appeared in your bank feed, you can create the transaction during bank reconciliation in the mobile app. If it hasn't reached your bank feed yet, you'll need to wait until you're back on a web browser to enter it manually.

    We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest.

  6. Please change the font and bold the balances on the accounts main screen and move the balance back to the left where it was previously.

    I can't figure out why you made this change in the first place as there was nothing wrong with the setup of the old Bank Accounts screen. I do like the added width but you've made it harder to see the balance quickly and it just isn't as user friendly view IMO.

  8. It would be great if you could enable a 'compact view' of the bank accounts page - I don't need the graphs and would prefer to be able to see more bank accounts without the need to scroll.

  9. I would like to be able to manually enter Check numbers. Xero thinks I printed a check, but I didn't & I am not able to use that check because it automatically goes to the next number it thinks is unused. Reconciling the bank account amount is more important than the correct check number. For example, if I misprint a check onto a blank piece of paper and need to reprint it, it wants a new check number not the number that I had which wasn't used. I currently have 12 unused checks in my pile because Xero thinks they…

    Thanks for sharing this idea 🙂 We’ve moved it to Gaining Support.

    We can see how being able to manually enter a check number would be helpful, especially where a check has been misprinted or needs to be reprinted. This would give more flexibility to keep check numbers aligned with the physical check stock while still focusing on getting the bank account reconciled.

    You can now share this idea with your friends and colleagues so they can vote and comment too.

  10. Why do your devs keep burying things, that we need to frequently use, under menus?

    Please bring the "Transfer Money" quick button back to the Bank Accounts main page, rather than bury it under the 3-dot menu. That added click each time is incredibly annoying and takes away from the user experience.

    Side by side comparison below.

  11. Because overpayments are the only means of receiving or spending money directly in the control accounts (A/R and A/P), they should be called direct payment. On a statement, the activity is called Overpayment, which confuses clients. To the layman, overpayment indicates an error in payment.

    If not Direct Payment, can it be called Payment?

    Hi David, appreciate how you may like this option to speed up the efficiency of this process when reconciling, and we'll get a wider sense of the interest behind this from your idea here.

    In the meantime, I just wanted to highlight that once the Transfer transactions is created it's possible to open this from the Account transactions tab of the bank account and attach a PDF to the transaction from here.

  14. Requires ability to change the amount on an issued check without reissuing or recreating the check
    * Does not want to remove and redo payment or void the check to correct the amount
    * Needs a direct method to edit the check amount after creation.
    Quickbooks allows this feature and if we do not have it we continue with quickbooks and move on from Xero.
    We don't always write a simple check as we have various expenses that we track to our vendors.

    Thanks for your feedback, appreciate how a subtotal of just the selected transactions in section 1 may differ to the full subtotal of transactions shown in section 3.

    We'll get a broader sense of interest from your idea here. It's not something we have plans around at present but we'll share if there's any change.

  17. Good afternoon. I've got a client who's staging for making tax digital. They're a client who is a cash-based business, so therefore doesn't reconcile a bank account, and they're just using the Xero mobile app to record receive money and spend money transactions for their cash. We've come up against a roadblock because it looks like the Xero mobile app doesn't allow you to do receive money transactions, only spend money transactions to the cash account. Is this correct or is there a workaround?

  18. On the new home page, for each bank account, the Statement balance is on the left and the Xero balance is on the right. On the Xero app they are the opposite way around. Consistency between the two UIs would save time by reducing friction.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand that having consistent information across mobile and desktop is important, especially when you’re checking balances or making quick decisions on the go.

    The suggestion here is to align the bank balance view in the mobile app with the web version, so users can see the same balance details and have a clearer view of their reconciliation position.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more feedback on how this impacts your mobile workflows.

  19. Please could the 'Uncoded Statement Lines' button be reinstated on the new bank feeds page, rather than hidden under the ... menu?
    It makes for an extra click every time and there's plenty of room on the page for it.

Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  20. Set up mortgage or long term bank loan accounts as Non-current liabilities but still enable the user to connect a bank feed. This will ensure the coding and processing burden is reduced when reconciling loan accounts and will ensure the Cashflow statement is correct.

    We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and feedback from others who’d also like to see this in Xero.
