  1. Problems with Xero Bank Reconciliation where client uses online banking for multiple payee payments. Friction between Bank payments and Xero settings.

    Background
    Client selects 20 creditor payees to create batch for payment processing. (20 payees is the max that Bank online processing will allow in one batch).

    Xero batch is then imported to bank (ANZ)online software multiple payee (as opposed to Directlink). Bank processes payee payments as individual payee payments and lists them as such on client's bank stmt. No option at bank to report on statement as one total balance.

    Xero has processed creditor batch as a total and…

  2. I have already suggested this here: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967136-banking-chart-of-accounts/suggestions/51721467-bank-reconciliation-autosuggest-look-for-already

    Today I have a fresh, dumb suggestion from AutoSuggest: "Canberra Pools" as a new contact when "Ampol - MV Fuel" already exists for a payee containing "Ampol Canberra".

    Bank rules (as suggested for the previous post before it was closed to comment) will not help. Gen-AI is going to keep finding new, stupid things to suggest when there is already an existing contact, and I'm NOT going to create a new bank rule every time for something that shouldn't ever be happening. The Gen-AI is getting worse, not better, because it's training on…

  3. Adding a 'Remove and Redo' button at the bottom of the page when reviewing auto-reconciled transaction.
    Starting the newest to oldest, when reviewing, one can mark many transactions that were incorrectly reconciled using the checkboxes. Then they would need to scroll all the way back up to press the Remove and Redo button. Adding a duplicate button at the bottom of the page would speed up the reviewing process and it would be a more natural way of doing this.

  4. Duplicate the page selector buttons so they are also placed at the top of the "Reconcile" page not just the bottom. When working my way from bottom to top, it would be easier if there was a page selector at the top of the same page, not just the bottom to speed up navigation.

  5. Give users the option to lock the top menu bar. When scrolling down on a long list of unreconciled lines and I need to also open another menu of Xero (be it bills, p&l, or chart of accounts etc.) I am forced to scroll all the way back to the top before it reveals the top blue bar with the menu options. This takes time and I also loose where I was in the reconciliation list. For multitasking - it would be much easier if the top bar was locked or lockable and be there for constant access.

    Ideally a…

  6. There is an existing idea suggestion for implementing Dark mode that now has 550 votes on it and yet Xero still refuse to look into implementing it.

    This is something that will greatly help neurodiverse people, like myself, who suffer from sensory overload and having to stare at a white screen all day.

    It baffles me that this is just disregarded as "oh we can't do that but try these third party methods" as apparently Xero doesn't have the time and resources available to implement it.

    Yet today, I've just gone on Account Transactions and seen that the font has…

  7. I would like Xero to introduce the ability to post a one-off manual depreciation adjustment directly against an individual fixed asset.

    At year-end, accounts compliance teams sometimes calculate an additional depreciation adjustment after reviewing the fixed asset register and the relevant capital allowance or compliance treatment. Currently, when this adjustment is posted as a manual journal, it does not update the individual asset record in Xero. This creates differences between the fixed asset register, accumulated depreciation, the nominal ledger and the year-end accounts, making reconciliation more difficult.

    It would be helpful if users could select an individual asset and enter…

  11. When exporting a payment file to CSV, to either have the sort code and account number split into two columns rather than one. Or to be able to create/design your own CSV export and choose what column set to export.

  12. In the dashboard view it is difficult. You cannot tell by looking whether auto-reconcile is turned on for that bank account or not. A simple icon representing auto-reconcile turned on would be a great visual check. This thought occurred to me as I am test-driving this function in a couple of bank accounts that have fewer transaction lines going through them to build my confidence in its ability to reconcile correctly. It would also be awesome to turn it off or on with a click from the dashboard. See example of the view attached

  13. Need an option to change the bank account which a spend/receive money transaction takes effect in without having to delete it and then remake it into the correct bank account.
    Incredibly difficult and time wasting to do when having to move DOZENS of said transactions entered into the wrong bank account.

  15. Whilst the current pre-set roles Xero has done work for most organisations, it would be very useful more granular control can be set for each user.

    ALL STAFF
    With the workflow of my organisation for example, suppliers' bills are automatically uploaded via email and sit in the "Draft" tab. My staff will then go through the bills, modify / update the details of the bill, and Save and Submit for Approval once they are satisfied with the products from the supplier.

    MANAGER / ACCOUNTS
    The manager will look through the list under "Awaiting approval" tab, verify the accuracy of the…

  16. Barclaycard statement has Account name which should be reflected while syncing in Xero integration as Payer. Example, We have 3 credit cards under one barclaycard account. now while integrated the barclaycard it auto fatches the transection amount, description and date only, but there is a separate field called 'Account name' in the barcalaycard transection statement wicich reflects the payer name or the card holder name which is the only source we can identify and account for the expenses and managing bills collection from the payer or the card holder. I have raised this concern a year ago with barclays team…

  17. When a new Paypal account is created in Xero and it's integrated with Paypal for bank feeds, all transactions from all the currencies appear in one bank account. However, when due to any reason, this Paypal account in Xero is disconnected from automatic feeds, and is reconnected, all of a sudden Xero pushes to create a new bank account for each currency in Paypal.

    It will be very helpful if there's at least an option to either have one bank account for all Paypal currencies (just like it's done in the first time integration), or have a separate bank account…

    Thanks for highlighting this improvement. Being able to choose between a single multi-currency bank account and separate currency accounts when connecting PayPal could give businesses more flexibility and help keep their Chart of Accounts organised.

    We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and share how you’d like the reconnection process to handle currencies.

  18. The current Xero set-up does not allow the user to change the start date for a bank feed once it has been activated. The start date must be input during the initial set-up and if missed (since it defaults to current date) or is mistyped in error you have to upload historical bank data by CSV. An option in the Bank Account menu to enter an earlier start date would be very useful. Failing that, remove the default so you have to input a start date at initial set-up and a question coming on after that to double check that…

    Hi Sanjit, appreciate if missed this can result in extra manual work to back date and import older statement lines to your bank account in Xero.

    Enabling the ability to change the start date once set up does create quite a few complexities, however I've slightly altered the title of your idea to reflect the behaviour of setup and we'll start to get a wider sense from the community in this here.

  19. In chart of accounts create filter listing items greater than 0 t allow a succinct list pertinent to your codes. The filter could be applied to all columns to allow greater flexibility.

    Hi Steven, a filter to show only accounts with balances could make the Chart of Accounts easier to review, particularly for organisations with a large number of accounts.

    In the meantime, the Trial Balance report can be used to hide zero-balance accounts and show the accounts with activity.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share your feedback.

  20. When reconciling bank statement lines, Xero sometimes automatically selects suggested matches (such as invoices) that may not be correct. If I use the Create tab to record a prepayment, the previous suggested match remains selected. This increases the risk of reconciling to the wrong transaction, as I have to manually untick the incorrect match before reconciling.

    It would be much more intuitive and safer if, after creating a prepayment, Xero automatically cleared any previously selected matches so that only the new prepayment is selected for reconciliation. This change would reduce errors and make the workflow more efficient.

    Appreciate you sharing this, Donna. The idea is to automatically clear any selected Match items when creating a prepayment during reconciliation, so they can't remain selected by mistake.

    I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. How would you expect this to work in Xero?
