  1. Add a current transaction to an existing back rule with one-click!
    This is a no brainer. Instead of going bank to rules to add another condition, we should be able to click - options: add to bank rule. End of story!

  2. It would be great if we could recode the dates on invoices - and I'm not meaning due dates. We have holiday programmes running in April and start advertising them in March. Our online booking system sends through the new invoices to be approved at the time of booking. This would be fine except our financial year runs 1 April - 31 March and we have to manually change the date each invoice was issued to an April date. This gets very frustrating and time consuming.

  4. Reconciling needs to cross reference the bank details of the customer as well as the amount paid. One of the biggest admin errors we face is when we auto match the wrong statement line to invoice. If the software was looking for the bank details too this would help avoid mis match.

    Appreciate the additional detail you shared, and how matching with the ability to base this on contact bank details would be useful to you, Julia.

    I'll shift your idea to Gaining support so we can get a better sense of interest in this idea. Feel free to share with any colleagues that'd find this useful too!

  5. In Find and Find and Match function in Bank Reconciliation

    Set the "Show spent items" and "Show receive items" to default to what was last used, OR to be always on.

    Thanks for your feedback, Andrew. Appreciate especially with the new feature for credit notes why you'd like to have this default set.

    We'll start to feel out the interest of this here and I'll make sure to let you know here if there are any plans for changing the behaviour of this check box.

  6. Currently, a check written is downloaded in the feed with the date the check cleared and no payee name. It would be fantastic if AI could read the check, enter the payee and the date the check was actually written rather than the date it cleared. That would save the user from having to look up the check on the bank website and manually editing it so that the bank reconciliation is actually correct.

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea’s David. We can appreciate the need for AI to read the details such as payee and date when the check was written. We’ll start to track support in your idea from the community, here.

  7. Our company is a BIG proponent of the use of AI technologies. But because we don't currently integrate with Xero directly with our AI tool, I was hoping to use JAX to retrieve the information that we need.

    Unfortunately JAX has a very limited subset of info it can retrieve making the results not very useful. It would be more helpful if JAX could have more lines of information or more results back from whatever query it did in the back end, so that I can get the data out on my side.

    My example is that I asked JAX…

    Hi Sean, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand tat giving JAX access to a larger dataset and support deeper historical analysis could improve function.

    The idea is to expand JAX’s data access and processing capabilities, allowing users to ask broader questions across more historical data and gain deeper insights without needing to manually combine data in Xero.

    We encourage the community to share some more use cases and how JAX could be improved.

    Returning to the idea here we appreciate while Xero currently supports feeds for Personal Fidelity bank account types it's not possible to set up a feed for investment account types.

    We'd like to track and understand the interest from our community in this. We'll share with everyone here if plans are made.

  9. There's currently a max number of conditions that can be added to one bank rule of, I think, 16.

    This is very limiting, particularly for some of our rules. For example:

    A bank rule that adds location tracking data, for example, EU, UK, USA, Rest of the World, based on the payment card country code. There are more codes than I can list in the conditions for some of the rules.

    A bank rule that adds location tracking data, but is based on the customer's email address because the payment card country code isn't pulled through for this particular type…

  10. Separation between Sales Tax/VAT/GST lock date and accounting period lock date.
    It would save a significant amount of time if VAT periods in Xero could have a separate lock date than the accounting period lock date. For instance, an invoice/bank transaction is still outstanding when filing a VAT return, and the VAT return date could be locked so once this outstanding transaction is completed at a later date, it would automatically appear on the next VAT return. This should be separated from the accounting period lock dates, as you still want to account for that transaction in it's relevant period,…

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your votes and comments on this idea. Just a quick update to let you know that this request is still open for voting and comments from the community.

    We're keeping an eye on the demand for this idea here, and will be sure to post another update if changes are made in this area.

  11. Can we please have the ability to export bank statement search results to a csv file?

    Every day I wish that was possible!

  12. Thank you for adding these fields when adding a contact on the fly. Can you please also add in the field for the expense acct that this contact should normally be coded to. Right now I have to save the contact, finish my bank rules, then go pull up contacts, find the vendor then go to the bottom and give it the gl number.

    Great to hear your flow of work in your idea here, Emelie - Can see how being able to add this detail on the fly when creating your bank rules could save you time.

    This isn't something we have planned just yet but will get a gauge of interest from your idea and be sure to share if there are any updates for this, here.

  13. Recode Transaction window (for recode Source Transactions) needs an option to show TrackingOption1 & TrackingOption2 fields by default so users don't have to click +Add every time

    💥 Thanks so much for sharing this idea — we can see how having TrackingOption1 and TrackingOption2 show by default in the Recode Transaction window could make Find & Recode quicker and easier to use.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better gauge interest and understand how helpful this change would be for customers using this feature.

    If this is something others would also like to see, we’d really encourage them to add their vote and share how they’d use it. That kind of feedback helps give us a clearer picture of the impact and demand for the idea.

    We’ll keep an eye on the support it receives and share any updates here as things progress.

  14. I’d like to suggest a small but valuable feature update:

    When we search for a bank memo, description, or reference in bank transactions or account transactions (e.g., “UberBV”), Xero does return the transactions, but the categorized account (account head) is not visible in the search results.

    In MYOB, when performing the same search, the results also show the categorized account, which helps identify how transactions were coded in the past. This saves time and ensures consistency during reconciliations.

    Feature Request:

    Please consider updating Xero so that when searching transactions (by memo, description, or reference), the categorized account column also displays…

    Hi Abrar, thanks for the thoughtful suggestion and the screenshots showing the account code used when reconciling the bank statement lines. We’ve shared your feedback with the team so they can consider this in future improvements. In the meantime, it’d be great to hear from others who’d benefit—please add your vote and any specific scenarios where this would save time in your workflow. In the meantime as a short-term workaround, run the Account Transactions report for the Bank account and add the Related account column to see where each transaction was coded ✨

  15. Would be great if users could be directly notified if there is a bank feed disruption or issue for their specific bank accounts.

    Thanks for sharing your suggestion for Xero. We've reviewed the proposed changes, and your idea is now officially open for community voting and comments.

    Please spread the word! Share your idea with colleagues and others who would benefit, urging them to add their vote and specific feedback. Community support is the key to moving this forward.

  16. When adding a new bank account the client needs to tick 'don't select' on all the other accounts which can be unsettling if these accounts already have bank feeds. There must be better wording for this, or remove the need to tick 'don't select'.

    Hi Saara, we can see how updates to the labels or instructions in the bank feed connection flow could help make setup clearer and reduce the chance of selecting the wrong account.

    We'll continue tracking interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

  17. It would be help helpful to be able to edit reconciled transactions within the Xero phone application.

    I often want to fix something on the go and have to wait until I can get to a computer.

    ✨ Thanks for the suggestion – we love hearing how we could make bank feeds easier to manage.

    Right now we’re not planning a single “refresh all bank feeds” button in the near future. A few reasons why:

    • Banks control timing: Many feeds update on a schedule set by the bank or provider, so a global refresh wouldn’t guarantee instant data across all accounts.
    • Reliability & limits: Triggering lots of refreshes at once can hit provider limits and make refreshes fail more often, which is a worse experience overall.
    • Security & MFA: Some feeds require multi‑factor authentication or a specific user to refresh, which can’t safely be handled by a single bulk action.

    For now we’re focusing on keeping per‑account refresh reliable and clear in the new homepage banking widget, and we’ll keep tracking interest in bulk refresh for future planning.

  19. Current behaviour:
    When reconciling a transfer and searching for a bank account, the dropdown search only works if you enter text from the very start of the account name. For example, if I have an account called "Emerge COGS", I can only find it by typing "Emerge" - searching for "COGS" returns no results and causes the dropdown to glitch.
    The inconsistency:
    This search behaviour is inconsistent with other areas of Xero. When making a payment from a bill, the account search works with mid-string matching - searching for "COGS" correctly brings up "Emerge COGS". This creates confusion as users…

We'll open this idea up to the community to gain more support. You can share this with your colleagues who might benefit from this as well. Cheers.

  20. It would be great if Xero could automatically do the transfer between Xero bank accounts.
    This is our most time consuming and often error-prone coding in Xero when it should be a simple fix. Many clients still battle with this.
