  1. It would be great if we could have an option to use find & recode to change to several accounts at the same time (similar to cash coding), rather than having to use the function over again each time. For example, if a client codes many transactions to general expenses, it would be useful to have a single screen where you can change the coding, with a column for "Current Account" and a second column for "New Account".

  2. An import template for importing bank spend and receive money transactions. Now that Datadear is longer available for Xero clients as an app there is no way to import bank transactions

    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.

    Appreciate all the feedback and ongoing support here. We recognise the main areas this has been asked across are invoices, bills, contacts, bank statements, and reports. Also it appears there are some users here that’d like to navigate between pages of a list while others that’d like to open transactions and navigate back to their placing on a list.

    For moving between pages of a list, there are a couple of other features that may be useful, such as;

    • Increasing the # of items that are shown per page (available from the bottom of the page)
    • On many devices you’ll find ‘End’ and ‘Home’ keys that allow you to quickly navigate to the bottom and top of a page which could also save effort in scrolling the page
    • Within reports you’ll find the bottom navigation is now frozen so regardless where you are on the page of a report you’ll…

  6. Universal search should include Unreconciled Transactions Too.

    We often search the amount of spend money or bill in universal search but we cannot find the unreconciled transaction through the Universal Search.

    Kindly do something for this..

    Many thanks

  7. I would like to see a report that listed all the bank accounts, their balance at the report date and the date of the last imported bank statement line. For a company with more than a handful of accounts it would make it much easier to see which accounts needed to be brought up to date for accounts prep.

  9. Xero should auto import all the transactions from the bank feeds even if it appears to be double entries of the same transaction. For example Toll fees with the same amount on the same day are only imported once into xero although all the transactions are on the bank's online profile.

  10. I am not happy with the treatment of dishonoured/reversed payments on Xero when it comes to debtors/customers (and similarly creditors/suppliers) (see attached support screenshot).

    Dishonoured payments must be processed via the accounts receivable and payable channels as is the custom on any other accounting package.

    The customer's records and statements must reflect when payments were dishonoured (true refection) and it should not be handled outside of the customer's module as Xero is currently doing (by deleting the original payment from the customer and allocating it a GL account and then allocating the dishonoured reversal to the same GL account).

    The…

  11. Can the new bank summary report have the option of adding in the imported statement balance for each bank account. This would provide a quick way of checking which accounts need more work rather than having to check each reconciliation report for each bank account when there are multiple bank accounts (I have 10+ and it is arduous having to run each reconciliation report just to check the balance)

    Hi everyone, while not a direct solve for the idea here we wanted to share a recent release that improves customers ability to confirm their bank balances using the new Bank Reconciliation Summary report.

    With the new report you'll now find you can enter a Bank statement ending balance. This means where an imported statement balance has not imported, or doesn't match your actual bank statement balance you can now enter an amount and update the report. Xero will then calculate the balance out by based on the amount you've entered in this field.

    Currently this is still on a bank by bank run report, you can switch between banks you have in your organisation from the Bank account field.

    If there are any plans to develop a view across all banks at once we'll let you know here.

  12. I would like to see the limitation of receiving payment on 50 inovices be increased or removed completely. I Have a trucking company that issues hundreds of trip invoices to it's customers and the limit of receiving payment on 50 invoices at a time doesnt work for them.

  13. I would like to be able to have a remapping feature (similar to find and recode) but on a bulk stage. It is common that a business operation changes and the previous COA is no longer fit for purpose and updates are needed.

    This can be done by having a feature that presents the COA with a current a proposed column. The proposed is automatically mapped to the current if no answer is added. In the proposed there is a drop down item that allows you to remap all historical transactions to a different account or remap.

    Post remapping the…

  15. Add an option to find all transactions by Item Code

    Example: I recently had a client who put the wrong sales accounts on some of their inventory items but had been making sales transactions for 14 months without noticing. The P&L did not accurately reflect the sales of the actual inventory categories because of this.

    There is currently no ability to find all the transactions by inventory item code to quickly recode the original transactions.

    The work around is painful for 1000's of sales - Run a report on transactions by item code, save to excel, add a column for…

  17. The chart of accounts should really have opening stock, closing stock and dividends as these are items that are usually needed, or perhaps some codes should be blank and we can amend them to our clients needs. The Chart of accounts are currently very basic and when adding a new code it should give you the available codes under each section i.e. for direct costs give an indication of which 300 code is available and where it should be rather than us having to guess.

  18. Some of our customers are paying upwards of 100 invoices at one time. The ability to import a csv into Xero (that can be extracted from the remittance advice provided from the customer) would save a lot of processing time instead of manually using the Find & Match feature in the bank rec screen.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea, everyone.

    We’ve recently introduced a feature that may help with some of the needs raised here, and we’d be really interested to hear whether it’s useful for your workflow.

    Many organisations now have access to Smart Document Capture, with the rollout still continuing across regions. This feature allows you to upload files into Xero, review the extracted information, and create transactions from those documents, including spend and receive money transactions.

    You may also find importing a pre-coded CSV bank statement helpful, particularly if your organisation doesn’t have a bank feed available.

    To be transparent, we don’t currently have plans to support importing received payments. That said, we’d encourage you to try these features and let us know here how they work for you, and whether there are still gaps for your use case.

  19. New bank rec reports are based on the start of the month to the current date as a default. The old bank rec report just had an end date. Would like a fast way to move end date field and not have to also alter the start date.

    Hey community! As a few of you have rightly pointed out, the previously posted workaround isn’t suitable if your end date is prior to your start date. In this case, you will have to update both start and end fields. 

    Thank you to everyone that flagged that, and apologies for the confusion.

    Because the the Bank Reconciliation summary lives in the Bank Reconciliation reporting pack, the date picker available is the same as the other bank reports (Bank Statement and Statement Exceptions).

    Understand that some users would prefer an ‘as-at’ date instead, similar to the older report. In the meantime, you can select the same date in both fields to achieve this.

    As that doesn't quite solve this for some users, we're leaving this idea open to continue to collect and share your feedback with our product team. 

  20. For smaller companies, it would be helpful to have the option to receive a notification by email or text when there are bank transactions to be reconciled.
    In larger companies, it's a daily routine to do the bank rec of course but not so in smaller companies so a notification would be very handy!
