  1. When reconciling, I enter each transaction and ensure it is taxed correctly. At present I have to return to the main account transaction list, find my next transaction and enter that transaction each time.

    It would be very handy to have a click through to the next transaction or click previous transaction buttons when viewing a specific transaction.

    Hi Leigh, thanks for your suggestion.

    We understand you’re looking for a quicker way to move between transaction details, such as having next and previous navigation options when reviewing entries.

    Having smoother navigation between transactions could make reviewing and correcting records more efficient.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.  In the meantime, you can open a specific transaction in a new tab for reviewing while keeping the list open in the original tab.


  2. Hopefully someone at Xero reads this.

    The Philippines is a market that Xero should really focus on.

    The BIR is now introducing the EIS program which leans perfectly to Xero integration, not a middle man. Companies are running everywhere to Netsuite and SAP as Xero aren't across what is happening.

    Whilst currently limited to larger entities the roadmaps seem to indicate that the business size for compliance will get smaller over time.

    If XERO can organise the bank feeds from the top banks and integrate with BIR, your business in The Philippines will grow much much larger - https://eis-cert.bir.gov.ph/#/main

  3. It would be great if Xero can support Japanese banks in the Bank Feed. Been looking for any API to help me connect the Rakuten Bank to Xero but I found nothing.

  4. On the Account Transactions screen for Reconciled transactions. Would be great to have columns to show the Reconcillation Type and Payment Type (Invoice, Bill etc).

    This would make it easier to identify and sort transactions on that screen

    Appreciate you sharing how viewing this information from the Account Transactions of a bank account would be useful to you, jason.

    While this isn't something we have plans to add just atm, we'll start to get a sense of the interest fro others in this here. I'll share if there are any updates.

  5. Within Expenses, have the ability to claim International Freight charges. Many freight forwarders charge a credit card for larger values and do not offer direct debit facility. We do not have company credit cards, so it is charged to a personal card and claimed. My only work around is to charge it as a bill to the freight forwarder, then pay the individuals credit card.

    Hi Timothy, just trying to better understand your idea. Currently it's possible to enter a foreign currency expense claim through Xero expenses.

    An employee could submit a claim for the amount of the international freight charge to be reimbursed by the business. Is there something missing in this feature that would help here?

  6. For Spend Money, to help speed up entry:

    Prefill the last entry for that Contact. Most venders (e.g. "Uber") will be the same expense type over and over. Having the 1st item prefill from the last entry will save time.

    Thanks for the extra detail, Sandy. We don't have any direct plans around this atm, however we're working on automated bank reconciliation which should help cut down the manual entry of reconciliations for spend money transactions overtime.

    There is also Bank rules that can pick on particulars of your statement lines to help with reconciling - However, it sounds like you're manually creating these transactions before they're reconciled?

  7. wanted to suggest an enhancement to how overpayments are handled within Xero.

    In situations where we receive a customer overpayment that cannot be immediately allocated, the current process requires us to step outside of Xero to contact the customer and clarify what the payment relates to.

    What would be highly beneficial is:
    A built-in option to trigger an “Overpayment Query” email directly from within Xero.

    Proposed functionality:

    A button/action against an overpayment (e.g. “Query Customer”)
    Pre-populated email template including:
    Customer name
    Payment amount
    Payment date/reference
    Ability to customise the message before sending
    Email sent directly from Xero and logged against…

    Hi John, thanks for your detailed suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a way to send an overpayment query email directly from the bank reconciliation screen when a customer payment doesn’t match an invoice.

    Having this option within the reconciliation workflow could help make it easier to resolve payment queries without needing to move between different tools.

    I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.


  8. When reconciling transactions and Find & Match is used, usually for multiple matches, please add an attachment button.
    In the example of one payment matched to multiple sales invoices, there is usually a remittance provided by the client that we need to file with the payment.
    We shouldn't need to go back to a reconciled transaction and manually add the remittance to each line individually.

  9. Offer an option to display on an account transactions page whether or not there is a document attached to a transaction. Also an option to display the file name of the document. Both would save time when checking whether or not the related document has been attached or not. Thank you

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

    Just to check is this from the Account Transactions screen of the bank account that you're referring to? - Atm, where there is a file attached to the transaction a file icon along with a number is shown in the far right of the grid on the Account Transactions screen.

    Appreciate you're asking a little further that you'd like to be able to include the document name, being open considering document names can be quite long and there would also need to be consideration for what shows when there are multiple documents attached this isn't something we have any plans around right now but will gain a sense of the interest your idea builds in the community here.

  10. Hi All,

    On cash coding screen, it would be great if there was an option to freeze the heading panels so you dont have to keep scrolling up if you have millions of lines to code. Eg: to uncheck all

    Thank you so much.

    Hi everyone, just a quick update to let you know we’ve reviewed this idea and marked it as Gaining Support.

    The suggestion to add floating headers in the cash coding screen makes a lot of sense, especially for those of you working through long lists of transactions.

    We’re keeping an eye on how much interest this gets, so if it’s something that would help you, feel free to add your vote or leave a comment. That kind of input really helps when we're looking at what to prioritise next.

  11. HSBC Business bank feed that updates more frequently than 24 hours in arrears. The fact that it takes more than a day for a customer payment to appear in Xero makes it hard to have effective account management.

    Hi Nikki — thanks for sharing this and explaining how more frequent updates would help your account management. I can see that you have raised this previously with Xero Support and as you know there is a delay of 24 hours for the UK HSBC bank feed to reduce duplicates 😣. We can assure you that we’ll keep monitoring this and will update the thread as further improvements become available. Thanks again for raising it and helping us track demand.

  12. Dear Xero Team,

    I am a regular user of the Xero Cloud Portal and appreciate the platform's intuitive features for managing business finances.

    However, I am currently facing a challenge when reconciling bank transactions. I frequently receive bulk deposits that are made up of a large number of small invoices—often exceeding 100. Unfortunately, Xero's current system limits me to matching only up to 100 invoices against a single deposit. This creates a significant bottleneck in my reconciliation process and affects my workflow efficiency.

    Feature Suggestion:
    It would be extremely helpful if Xero could increase the invoice matching limit to at…

  13. Convert Overpayment to Credit Note, or treat Overpayment the same as Credit note.

    We have a lot of customers who double pay their invoices and several who would like to see what credit they have on their account as they will order again - so don't bother with a refund.

    Creating overpayments seems like the most logical thing to do, but the functionality of overpayments is lacking in every way. There is no way to send a pdf version of an overpayment to a customer except for printing a statement. I've upvoted the suggestion to add printing functionality, but that…

  14. 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.

  15. Support Morgan Stanley Client Serv.
    Just signed up for Xero today, and now I have to cancel because you don't support my bank. Worth mentioning that MS doesn't provide acceptable export options for their data, so there isn't a clean method for me to transform their data to get it into Xero. I will mention that QBO perfectly integrates with it, so clearly the pipeline has been built by someone.

    Hi Seth, thanks for sharing this suggestion. It’s clear that bank feeds for Morgan Stanley investment accounts would reduce manual imports and make it easier to keep investment data up to date in Xero.

    We'll continue to track the interest around this idea for our Product team's review.

  16. 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…

    Hi team, we've been following the conversation for being able to assign a tracking category to each account in the Chart of Accounts, and we appreciate everyone here who's taken time to share their feedback.

    We understand manually assigning tracking categories to every line of a transaction is time-consuming and can lead to errors. 

    While not the direct idea asked here, it may help some to know that you can set a default account and tracking on individual contacts. On the flip side once transactions have been entered Find and recode is another feature that could possibly be useful to some here (however we'd recommend checking in with your advisor and testing in the demo org, before using in your own). 

    We want to be transparent with you here that though this idea has been carefully reviewed, like other areas of Xero the Chart of Accounts page initially…

  19. 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!
