Reporting: Reconciliation Reports - Ability to upload bank/credit card statement
ability to add/upload the bank statement/credit card statement to reconciliation report for future cross checking by accountant
278 votesHey everyone, thanks for engaging with this idea about being able to attach PDF bank or credit card statements directly to reconciliation reports in Xero. We know this can help simplify the cross-check process.
Right now there is the ability to upload statements into the Files inbox where you could create a dedicated folder for these type of files. However we understand the limitation in that this doesn't link them to report as you'd like here.
Our product team are looking into possible ways to attach files within the banking space and how we might fit it into the reconciliation workflow. It’s early days, and we’ll share an update when there's more news.

Bank account - Drag & drop option to change order of bank accounts
It would save so much time if there was the ability to drag and drop the bank account order in the bank accounts screen (so it changes the order in the drop down menus). It is very cumbersome clicking the bank accounts up one step at a time especially when you have over 30 bank accounts!

Find and Recode - Option to bulk change Due Dates
It would be great if we could do a bulk recode of due dates for invoices. EG, all May invoices for a particular supplier can be recoded so the due date shows 30 June.

Bank Reconciliation - Use Bank Rules to record fees
It would be wonderful if in Bank rules we could also include the fee that will be taken out.
Eg a deposit of $100 from Fresha attracts a $2 fee. The bank feed shows $98 . Is there a way to be able to bank rule this7 votes -
Reconciliation - Bulk 'OK' for reconciling bank transactions
Ability to select multiple/all transactions during reconciliation.
Purpose: To save users time from having to reconcile the transactions one by one.
244 votesHi everyone, we've been tracking this idea for some years now and truly value all the feedback we've heard on the desire and time saving reducing the manual steps in reconciliation
would achieve. We completely get wanting to skip that extra ‘OK’ click when you trust the suggested matches.
We’re excited to share that this idea is now in development. At Xerocon this year we shared automated bank reconciliation - Using JAX to automatically match and categorise your bank transactions with your Xero transactions.😊
It's in beta already and being tested by a small group of users atm, and as soon as we have more to share on this rolling out wider I'll give you another update here. Thanks again for helping us shape the future of Xero!

Overpayments - Create Overpayments with Tax on for cash basis VAT
Ability for Xero to treat an overpayment with VAT on - I don't want to use a secondary debtors control account.
We have a client on the VAT cash accounting scheme and we have a number of overpayments which need to hit the debtors control account. When I run the VAT return, these amounts are not being captured for VAT purposes since there is no option to select a tax rate when using the overpayments option.
Should I treat these as prepayments, Xero will allow me to code these to a nominal account with VAT. However, the nominal code I…

Bank Reconciliation - Add filter to show Deleted status
Issue - Bank Transactions Auto Deleted by Xero System
Hi Xero, i would like to suggest, please add 'Deleted' status in filter function. Because recently i just imported approximately 10,000 transactions into xero and it stated there 150 are duplicates and auto deleted by xero system, which is not duplicates actually. To find one-by-one, page-per-page really become troublesome for us in Statement Lines section and require lots of time. Also i have tried to open the one i just imported in Statements section, it keeps showing error code 500.
Therefore, the other workaround would probably to find deleted transactions using…

Bank rules - Attach files to a rule
Bank Rules - the ability to attach documentation would be very beneficial.

Bank Reconciliation - Show more information in the Reconcile tab, before clicking 'More details'
At the moment you only get a small amount of the bank reference line to see for transactions so I find myself constantly having to click on the details link to reconcile. Can we have the option to display the whole (or at least more) of the reference line?
65 votesHi team, we thoroughly appreciate your support and feedback on how seeing more of the statement line details would be useful, saving you time and clicks when reconciling.
As we continue to develop the way you perform bank reconciliation in Xero our team have a close watch on the ideas we have in this space. I want to be upfront that at this time this isn't something we have planned but this is something our product teams will consider in future planning so I'll share if there are any updates here.

Bank Reconciliation - Templates for common split payments
TEMPLATE FOR COMMON SPLIT PAYMENTS
We need to be able to save a split payment as a template (like a bank rule)
eg: registration is always split with gst, no gst etc, let us save that transaction as a template for easy recon next time. Bank rule isnt helpfull as when you have 20 different regos being paid to the same company then a simple split template would be very helpful3 votesHi team, while we appreciate you raising your idea here. Not getting much community traction overtime, and not being in our current roadmap we will remove this idea from the forums.
While I appreciate it's not solution you're after, to import transactions that match multiple statement lines you could consider importing these as Invoices or Bills.
With regard to the consideration of templates for split payments, one option could be to use the percentage split option in Bank rules rather than the fixed amount.
If this idea is still important and would make a big impact to your business flows, you're welcome to start it again to see if there is renewed interest from the community.

Chart of Accounts: Ability to merge accounts
I would like to be able to merge accounts (of the same type, ie expenses) to one account when there was two or more of the same account created.
Example: Say you've converted from another accounting system, and there were sub-accounts that are all the same account - that you want to merge into one account. To be able to merge the accounts - without doing a Find and recode.
Or, the client opened another expense account for something, and one already existed... to be able to merge the two would be a quicker solution instead of find and recode.
67 votesHi everyone, appreciate your feedback on merging chart of accounts. We understand how this could be useful for tidying up accounts, especially after system conversions or when duplicate accounts appear.
While there’s no merge function right now, there are a couple of options that might help:
- You can use Find & Recode (available to users with the Adviser role) to move transactions from one account to another before archiving the accounts. We know this won’t suit every situation, as it requires unlocking periods.
- In financial reports, if you have several related accounts, you can edit the layout to group them for easier review and analysis.
After reviewing this idea, the product team has noted this is Not in pipeline, meaning it’s not something we’re planning in the near term. The idea will stay open for votes, and we’ll continue keeping an eye on the level of interest here.

Bank Reconciliation - Show credit card number when reconciling
See card number when reconciling
There is no longer a card number on the bank statement line when reconciling.
This was really useful as we have multiple business cards connected to the same account and we need to know which employee made the transaction (which we identified through the credit card number)

Bank Rule - Set Contact Only
Set a bank rule that only autofills the contact name - Often the same contact is used for sales or purchases to different accounts. Currently bank rules force you to choose an account. I'd like to set the contact automatically with the bank rule, then choose the account during reconciliation. Saves me typing the contact each time.
ALTERNATIVELY - I saw and voted for another idea that there could be a drop-down list of possible applicable rules, then I could write 2+ rules for the same contact and matching criteria, and choose the appropriate rule. This would be even faster,…4 votes -
Bank rules - Run this rule on 'selected' bank accounts, instead of all or just one
It would be great to have the option when creating a bank rule to tick the bank accounts to run the rule on, as opposed to having ALL or just one. We often need to run the rule on say three of the five bank accounts, and are forced to set up three identical bank rules just so we can select each account, as we don't want to run the rule on all five accounts. This is particularly prevalent when using tracking categories. Some entities have different bank accounts for different areas of their business and when coding we'd like…

Bank Reconciliation | Suggestions - Matching by invoice number rather than amount
Reconciliation to be matched by INVOICE NUMBER rather than amount
12 votesThanks for sharing this idea. I can see why matching by invoice number or reference, instead of relying on the amount first, would be really valuable for businesses dealing with instalments, part-payments, or payments that don’t exactly equal the invoice total.
Right now, suggested matches are based on the statement line and transaction having the same amount, with other statement details also considered, so I understand why this request would help reduce manual work and lower the risk of matching a payment to the wrong invoice.
If this would improve your workflow too, please add your vote and comment with a real example of when matching by invoice number or customer reference would save time or prevent errors. The more detail shared here, the easier it is to show the impact this has for customers.

Find and Match - Reconcile two statement lines to each other
There needs to be a better matching system with Xero.
For example I have two statement lines that cancel each other out. You should be able to match two statement lines to each other rather than creating invoice/bill to reconcile each line.
Additionally, being able to reconcile multiple statement lines with multiple invoices/bills, overpayments or prepayments needs to be a thing.

Chart of Account - Ability to change bank a different account type
Ability to change a bank account to a different account type. e.g. A bank account that should be an equity type was added as a bank. To resolve this requires adding a new equity account type, transfer the bank account balance and archiving the old account. These could be avoided if we are able to change the account type in the COA.

Bank Reconciliation - Repeating spend & receive money transactions
The ability setup repeating spend and receive money transactions would be helpful.
Thank you
160 votesHi team, we appreciate your engagement in the idea here however we want to be open that we don't have any plans for developing repeat spend or receive money transactions atm.
If you have the suggest previous entries option turned on in your bank account, you may find that overtime Xero suggests create transactions based on your previous reconciliations.
Alternatively, you could look to create bank rules for these scenarios where Xero will pick up commonalities in your rules to your statement lines and help with reconciliations.

Account Transactions - Show details on batch payments in Description column
The bank transaction listing in Xero should have different details displayed for ease of reference.
Batch Payment really doesn't provide enough information. "Payment: multiple items Batch Payment" is pretty vague. It would be better if the Description column showed the Details from the batch payment - refer attached10 votes
