  1. American Express Business in Hong Kong
    As many Business Owners in Hong Kong, I got American Express Businesss Credit Card. I still don't understand why we don't have the direct feed while some software with less accounting features like Odoo already got it.
    It is urgent for Xero to arrange the direct feed on American Express Business Credit Card in Hong Kong!

  4. Please set the bank reconciliation lines on the right-hand side to pre-populate with the details on the left=hand side, that is as long as there is no 'match'' and it is not a transfer. I'm mystified as to why I have to copy and paste all of the information from the left side to the right side when Xero could do this in a jiffy. Presently the pre-population remembers a long lost description I may have made such as 'birtthday gift' and Xero is remembering this forevermore. It would be simple and accurate to pre-populate especially since valuable information (such…

    Hi everyone, thanks for all the engagement and feedback so far. It has been awhile since this was raised, so we just wanted to refresh the status of this idea.

    We understand you’re looking for a quicker way to pull details from bank statement lines directly into transaction descriptions, so you can reduce manual typing during reconciliation.

    At the moment, statement line details can be copied into transactions using standard copy and paste, and for repeat transactions, Bank Rules can also help automatically bring through key fields like payee and reference into the description.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.

  5. The ability to automate billable expense assignment by GL code. If you code to a certain GL code you want it assigned automatically as a billable expense for a certain customer. This helps with intercompany on-charges.

    Interesting way of considering how this feature could work, Theresa.

    It'd be good to see if others in the community would find this workflow useful to them as well. We'll keep an eye on the support for this here.

  6. Perhaps it's a bug but, while using cash coding /fast coding of a bank account, if nothing is ticked, I can still click 'Save & Reconcile all', which I have done by mistake on 2 occasions, causing panic and painstaking efforts to find out what had been coded and undo it (it was many things that were not meant to use the bank rule or needed further details) EG on the cash code screen , transactions that match bank rule are prefilled, which is great, but does not mean they are ready, so I should only be able to click…

    Hey! We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve the Cash Coding screen for you. You're right that this is currently designed to accept the suggested reconciliations, even if you haven't ticked anything yourself.

    This idea can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

    Hi Tania, thanks for submitting this idea! We understand it'd be to have an automatic alert for unallocated overpayments during bank reconciliation. Without this, credits can be easily missed and left unallocated.

    Right now, there’s no pop-up or indicator on the reconciliation screen to remind you about existing unallocated credits, so manual tracking is needed.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments help us see how important this feature is to the wider Xero community and guide what we build next.

  8. Right now, checks must be written by going to the top of the page, choosing "Spend Money," choosing the bank account, and then checking the "Pay By Check" box on the page. I regularly enter transactions right on the back account page through the "Spend Money" and "Receive Money" button. It would be great if the "Spend Money" area on the account page could just include the "Pay By Check" box so we could avoid the extra steps.

    Thanks, Megan for submitting your idea! We've taken a look, and it's now ready for the Xero community to rally behind. Other users can now vote and offer their thoughts on how this could enhance their own Xero journey.

  10. When adding a bank fee adjustment during the details entry of a reconciliation, it'd save a click to automatically place the cursor focus on the contact field. This already happens when we click to add details to a reconciliation, so it makes sense for the same behavior to occur when we click to add a bank fee adjustment. One click...hundreds of times...lots of efficiency!

    Big thanks to Matthew for kicking things on this! The idea is to have the cursor default to the contact field when adding a bank fee during reconciliation. It’s a small change, but when you’re working through heaps of transactions, it can save a lot of time.

    If this would make your workflow smoother, we’d love to hear more from you. Add your vote or drop a comment to let us know, it helps the product team see how much this matters across the community.

    We’ll keep you posted here as things move along.

  11. Given XERO is pulling in credit card transaction details can they pull in payment due dates to help manage timing of payments? Could be as simple as a "Payment is due" flag that a user can manually turn off if they want after paying.

    Thanks for the feedback here team, we appreciate how more visibility of credit card payment due dates could help with managing cashflows.

    This isn't something we have direct plans for atm, but will continue to monitor interest in this idea closely and share if there is any progress.

  12. Please please please Xero can you work on a proper Square bank feed integration so we don't have to keep using Amaka or other 3rd party connection apps!!!
    Why can't we connect Square as a bank account with a feed similar to Stripe?!?! We are in 2024, square has been around for 15years!!

    I have so many issues with Square! And it is one of the most widely used payment processors!

    A recent example -
    A client has a coffee van and uses it to take payments for cups of coffee. I had to setup the Amaka integration so that…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on a direct bank feed for Square. We understand that using a third-party integration isn't always seamless and that a direct feed, like the one for Stripe, would make life easier when reconciling your payments.

    As noted by others here, the current solution is to connect an app from the Xero App Store to bring your Square transactions into Xero, or you can continue to manually import these. 

    Right now, building a direct bank feed for Square isn’t in our plans. We're continuing to monitor the interest in this idea, so please keep adding your votes and comments as it helps us see the demand.

  13. Reconciling funds - I need to be able to save Reconciling items while I'm half way through reconciling.
    eg - I receive large amounts via bank statement - eg $16,000. That $16,000 will be made up of 10 holiday home bookings. Then I break down each booking into cleaning, credit card fees, our company commission, Airbnb commission, etc etc. Sometimes there may be up to 80-100 lines of items. Currently I can not save and it is really frustrating as it can take an hour to do and then if I have to leave or can't reconcile I need to…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback here. It has been a while so we just want to refresh this idea's status.

    We can see how being able to save a draft reconciliation would help when you're working through more complex matches or need to step away before finishing. Having your progress saved could make it easier to pick up where you left off without starting again.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support, so please keep adding your votes and share how this would fit into your reconciliation workflow.


  14. When I enter the month of the bank statement with the bank statement beginning and ending balances and want to make sure all of the transactions from that month's bank statement are accounted for, checks that were written in a previous month but not posted in the bank statement until another month aren't showing up in coded transactions in the month where the bank transaction occurred. The reconciliation with the check payment and the bank transaction can be made, but the transaction doesn't show up in coded transactions section of the bank reconciliation detail report for the month the bank…

    Thank you for sharing this detailed idea about how the reporting date is handled for reconciled checks.

    We understand the issue you've described. When a check from a previous period clears the bank, the reconciliation report posts the transaction to the month the check was written, not the month it actually appeared on the bank statement. We can definitely see how this makes it challenging to use the report to verify a specific month's bank activity.

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how changing the reporting date for reconciled transactions could improve their experience with Xero.

  15. Fix Tabbing issue when creating reconcile period. When creating a reconcile period I enter the first date of a Statement Date Range, hit tab and instead of going to the last date of the Statement Date Range where it should go, it weirdly tabs to the opening statement balance, forcing me to go back and click on the ending date box.

    Thanks for your post here , Brenda.

    Appreciate some customers prefer to use the keyboard to enter data. I've checked this in with our product team and can confirm, currently if you're entering a date via the keyboard and then press Tab, the cursor will move to the opening balances field.

    Appreciate it's not the solution you're asking here, however atm you can press the return key to select the date from the date picker, which will automatically move the cursor to the end of the date field.

    We're keeping a watchful eye on the interest of the idea to understand the interest in this.

    We appreciate you sharing your suggestion! This idea is now classified as Gaining Support. Introducing a direct feed for Country Bank (US) would simplify transaction imports and speed up reconciliation processes.

    In the meantime, you can always manually import the statement lines for Country Bank (US) into Xero,.

    If this feature would be helpful to you, we encourage you to vote or comment. Every bit of feedback helps us improve Xero.

    Thank you for your involvement in the Xero Product Ideas community.

  17. Chart of Accounts - the ledger codes (a) Entertainment-100% business and (b) Entertainment-0%. Can you change these categories? We accountants all know that the descriptions are misleading.

    Almost all (unqualified) bookkeepers use (a) for client entertainment and claim VAT. Subsequently, accountants blindly treat this category as business expenses, reducing the taxable profit. (i.e. wrongly deduct it for corporation tax purposes) I cannot tell you how many cases I've seen in the past few years.

    Please change the default categories to (a) Staff-only entertainment and (b) Client entertainment?

    Hi Ray, appreciate your raising this through product ideas.

    We'll get a sense of the interest in changing this within the default chart of accounts from the community here.

    Just to confirm, while Xero offers a default chart of accounts, you can import your own chart of accounts to set these up as you prefer, or edit individual accounts within Xero.

  18. Hi Xero, please could you consider adding the option of including job numbers in the PayPal bank feed uploads. I am aware the data in the statement lines imported into Xero on the feed, is provided directly by Paypal themselves. But it would be very useful when looking at costs per job as we use PayPal to pay many providers globally in a day and PayPal is the best option for them an us, the job number would link the invoices to a job.

    Hi team, while we appreciate the support here we want to be open that we don't have any plans for introducing the ability to undo or reverse a find & recode that has been performed. We appreciate the impact using the feature can have which is why it is currently only available to users with the Advisor role and we also suggest checking in with your adviser before making use of this feature.

    Hey everyone! The ability to manually refresh your bank feed really depends on the type of connection you have. For many banks connected via Yodlee, you can already give the feed a nudge and refresh it manually within Xero when you're ready to reconcile. Some of our direct API connections also support this, with a few even importing transactions in near real-time.

    As this feature is only available on some feeds, we've moved this idea's status to 'Gaining Support' to align with our new statuses for Xero Product ideas. You can read more about this on our blog. 

    While building a manual refresh option for every feed type is not on our immediate roadmap, we're keeping a close eye on your votes and comments to help us gauge demand for future work.
