  1. When an account is reconciled and the report is created for the period, it would be nice if there was a little summary alert for the end date of the most recent report on the dashboard tile (i.e. reconciled up to and including 28 Feb 2025). This would help to make VERY clear immediately which accounts are reconciled to which date and help to plan which accounts need work or need a report and which are done for the reporting period you are working on.

  2. Ability to include free hand information on the bank account rules for each account eg. Interest rates, number of deposits and withdrawals, bonus interest rates, costs for overdrawn account etc. To be updated by user at their convenience.

    Hi Susan Thanks for sharing your idea here. We've opened this idea up to the community to gain more support. We'll monitor this space in the meantime. Please feel free to share this idea colleagues that might benefit from this idea! Cheers!

  3. Many customers pay in cash but still want an invoice sent. I need a way to mark invoices as paid in cash without it appearing to go through a bank account, as this makes reconciliation difficult. A simple “Paid in Cash” option posting to a cash or undeposited funds account would fix this.

  4. The charge card bank feed from Lloyds CCDM to be implemented into Xero. Currently a manual statement has to be uploaded.

  5. As Xero started to update existing modules, the "new" modules, took on this idiotic philosophy/logic that users should need to click Enter before clicking Tab.

    Previously, I could type an account name (or part of one), use up/down arrows to highlight the account in the list, then click Tab to confirm the selection and move to the next field.

    This is (fortunately) still the case in the Create transaction screen.

    This functionality was removed from New Invoicing.. but fortunately, it was eventually returned.

    This functionality has been removed from Adjustments > Bank Fee function.

    It's annoying as ****. Just fix…

  6. Xero already supports a Revoult bank feed for the 'Main' account but when bank a feed established it does not include the 'Savings & Funds' bank feed.

    As Revoult offer the 'Savings & Funds' account as part of the standard business account offering, majority of customers would use the 'Savings & Funds' account too as it is interest generating.

    Please add a bank feed for the Revoult Savings & Funds to make it a seamless reconciliation process.

    Thanks for sharing your interest in supporting more Revolut account types, Jon.

    It's now time for the community to get behind and support your idea.

    We'll be keeping a close eye on the traction this builds here, and will post an update if there is any progress.

  7. Ability to enter actual statement balance and statement date (i.e. from a PDF), compared to what the bank feed assumes it to be. This way we can verify that a user has actually checked the bank balance and the last date it was verified (and for what value). Xero is far to easy to post historic transactions without a clear reconciliation (due to always having items in "unreconciled" at any point in time.

    There could be a link from the Bank reconciliation report, or as mentioned above, a box to enter last statement balance and date, for better oversight all…

    Hi Mark, appreciate your idea on this! Being able to mark a bank balance as verified would make month-end checks much easier and give you confidence that everything lines up. Right now, reconciling differences can eat up extra time.

    At the moment, you can cross-check using the Bank Reconciliation Summary report, but a built-in verification option would streamline this.

    This idea is now in Gaining Support so we can see how many of you would find this helpful and share that insight with the product team.

  8. I would love a bank feed (ideally a direct feed) that supported Apple Card. A number of other financial programs support it - Xero should too!

  9. The ability to have a set lock date EACH month. For example, every month by the 5th the prior month is locked for users other than the advisers. Currently you can manually do this, IF you remember.

    My issues is, if I do not remember the accounting clerk will go back multiple months creating entries and causing issues.

  10. Allow front-loaded revenue (such as annual subscriptions or project fees) to be automatically allocated to Unearned Income (i.e. a liability) and then gradually transferred to earned Subscription Sales Revenue.

    As a small business owner which sells hundreds of annual subscriptions to our service (different price packages and different start dates for each customer), it would be really handy to know how much of that received money has been 'earned' and how much remains 'Unearned Income'. On Day-1, 100% of it is unearned income (and would need to be refunded if we close as a business), on Day-183, 50% is in…

  11. Previous/next rule navigation buttons added to the Edit Rule page and a check box for loading the next rule on save.

    This would speed up bulk editing like when first setting up or when there's been major changes.

    Another useful feature would be to tie this to a bulk edit option. Select the rules, click bulk edit and then after saving the first rule, it progresses to the next selected rule and so on.

  12. Please instate bank feeds for ABN AMRO bank (the Netherlands). I joined Xero for its highly automated systems. Now I still have to download and import bank statements manually.

    It adds insult to injury for the fact I have to sign up to a premium plan to be able to account in a mere two currencies. For small traders like myself with low turn-overs and no need for the majority of features larger companies need, this feels deeply inappropriate and unfair. (another idea about this topic is already live elsewhere)

    Hey everyone, thanks for the support on this idea.

    While our Open Banking connections in the EU currently cover only Denmark and Ireland, you can still keep your ABN AMRO transactions up to date in Xero by manually importing your statements.

    We'll keep en eye on the support for this here, and let you know of any updates in this area. Thanks for taking the time to share!

  13. Placeholders for dates in bank rules descriptions for example reconciling monthly payroll and having the month it relates to pull through on the description through a bank rule.

  14. Report which lists (chart of) accounts by their creation date. Handy to update an exported excel report based from a Xero report. It would show where updates in the existing excel report are required before updating latest figures

    Thanks for sharing this idea about generating a report for the creation date for your Chart of Accounts. We appreciate you explaining how this could help with maintaining your Excel reports.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

    In the meantime, the History and Notes report can be filtered to show just changes to the Chart of Accounts for a set period so could be a useful tool.

  15. What would be really useful would be a report that analyses historic bank account into nominal codes (p&l and balance sheet accounts). Pick start/end dates, choose weekly or monthly reporting, show opening bank balance, what came in and what went out, close bank balance, a choice of including figures gross or separating the VAT out. This does mean that Xero has to following through sales and purchase ledger payments to find out the account codes of the sales invoices and bills that were paid. I've asked Jax to do this and it can't. Come on, how about making your AI…

  16. Currently there is the inability to edit one payment in a batch deposit that was created from the Reconcile screen without dismantling the entire batch (with Unreconcile, and then Remove and Redo). If the batch Deposit is created from the Invoice screen and one line item needs adjusting, we have and option to Edit Batch. This allows for removing one line item of the batch but preserves the remainder of the batch (less the removed line item). Please add the Edit Batch function to batch deposits created in the Reconcile screen too! It is a big pain point when you…

  17. Would love to be able to send the Uncoded Statement Lines report via the Xero ask feature. It would be great if we could attach documents to the Xero Ask questions so it's much easier for the client to download the document, add their responses and re-upload to Xero Ask.

    This way it provides easier visibility to firm on which clients have yet to respond to an Uncoded Statement Lines or if a bookkeeper is on vacation it is easier to jump in where needed and we aren't relying on a 3rd part platform.

  18. When selecting to apply bank rules manually they are automatically shown in alphabetical order. I can see that this will be helpful for many, but it would also be useful to be able to manually set the order.

    We have so many, I've had to apply numbers in the rule names e.g '1 - name a' '1 - name b' '2 - name a' '2 - name b'

    Instead I'd like to be able to categories / group / manually order them.

    Thanks for also touching base with our support team on your idea here, Joanna. And, always welcome to reply to our status update if there is detail we're missing here in Product ideas 🙂

    I'll re-open your idea here understanding it's more related to the rule ordering when applying through cash coding.

    Lets start to get a sense of the interest from community in this here, I'll share if there are any plans made for enabling this here.

  19. It would be useful to have the ability to record both a 'Spend Money' and a 'Receive Money' transaction when reconciling a single bank line item.

    For example, when reconciling a bank deposit (money received), a user should be able to simultaneously record a portion of that money as a 'Spend Money' transaction (e.g., for cash expenses paid out of the deposit) in addition to the main 'Receive Money' entry. This would prevent the need to leave the reconciliation screen, streamlining daily workflows for businesses that handle cash deposits combined with cash expenses.

    The attached screenshot illustrates a scenario where…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    In the meantime, this can be solved by adding a negative line item when creating the receive money transaction or by using the adjustment option.
