Bank reconciliation - Ability to enter dates directly in formats other than dd mmm yyyy
Across Xero it would be very useful (and intuitive) to be able to type dates in formats other than dd mmm yyyy (for example dd/mm/yyyy, ddmmyyyy, etc). The dd mmm yyyy isn't the usual way to enter and clients have commented that it's irritating that they can't type the date in (they use the calendar instead) because it didn't occur to them to try this format, and even when you are aware the habit when typing dates into these boxes is to use one of the more common formats so it can lead to errors
5 votesHi Jonathan! Thanks for sharing this great suggestion about allowing more flexible date formats in Xero. We can see how being able to type a date in different formats (like dd/mm/yyyy) would be a much quicker and more intuitive experience for many, and acknowledge that this functionality is available within other areas of Xero.
We've also added the supporters of this idea to these two similar ideas; New invoicing and Fixed Assets.🙂

Chart of Accounts - Change Xero's default Entertainment ledger codes
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?
2 votesHi 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.

Bank Reconciliation - Report date to default to next period
When reconciling bank account, then publishing it should display the bank details as setup in chart of accounts - it just just says bank reconciliation. So makes it hard to know which report is which. Once reconciled it should default to the the next date so you don't have to change dates continuously.

Lock dates - Allocate past years overpayments to invoices outstanding after accounts are closed
Hi, Please can we have the ability to allocate past years overpayments to invoices outstanding after the accounts are closed. These accounts do not form part of the main ledgers, being personal accounts, therefore the allocations should be made possible, as they were in Microsoft MOA. This would tidy up much of the personal accounts for customers and suppliers.
I look forward to a favourable response.Supplier Accounts - Also, are you looking at being made available, statement histories for the suppliers as asked for several years ago and Xero said they were working on it? This is very much…
1 voteHi Iris, it sounds like you're using Lock dates here and would like to allocate credit from an overpayment that was created in a locked period to an invoice after the lock date.
Atm, if you'd like to allocate credit you could either remove the lock date to do this, or apply a refund to the original overpayment and recreate and apply the overpayment for a date post the lock date. We'll continue to track the interest of this here, however want to be open that we don't have plans to change the behaviour of lock dates currently.

Bank Reconciliation - Automatic coding of transfers between bank accounts
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.21 votes -
Bank Feed - Aldermore bank
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Aldermore bank
83 votesHi everyone, thanks for all the support for a bank feed with Aldermore Bank. We are aware of the interest here, and are currently exploring the possibility of this feed.
As some of you have noted, the best option for now is to manually import your bank statements into Xero. This will help you keep your accounts up-to-date. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Xero Central article here: Import a bank statement.
Another way you can help is by letting Aldermore Bank know you’d like to see them integrate with Xero. We've found that banks are more likely to prioritise building a feed when they hear directly from their own customers. They can get in touch with our team to start the process here: Register your financial institution for bank feeds.
We want to be transparent that while we're aware of the demand…

Bank Feed - Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
569 votesHi team, we appreciate the growing interest this idea's gaining and want you to know our product teams are very attuned to our customers desire for a bank feed for CAF bank.
We're continuing to work closely with our third party integrators to make more bank feeds available via open banking. A feed for CAF is high on our agenda, however we're reliant on third party integrators to support this integration in order for us to deliver this for you all.
I want to assure you we're pushing for it's integration, but we cannot commit or confirm a timeline for this work to be undertaken.
As soon as there's progress to share we'll happily provide further updates for you all.

Bank Feed - Cynergy bank
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop feed that supports Cynergy bank
51 votesHi community, thanks for all your votes and comments on this idea – it’s great to see so much support for this idea.
We know that having to manually upload statements takes valuable time away from running your business, especially when your bank doesn't offer CSV exports.
I’m happy to share that we're exploring a bank feed for Cynergy Bank.
While we can't give any commitment at this point, we'll be back once the team have had a chance to dig in deeper and share any progress.

Bank Account - Visibility of Credit Card due dates
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.
2 votesThanks 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.

Lock date - Separate lock dates for sales Tax and accounting period
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,…25 votesHi 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.

Bank Accounts page - Filter bank accounts by unreconciled
I have 22 bank accounts and loans on the "Bank accounts page". It would be good if I could quickly filter the unreconciled ones to the top, rather than scrolling through looking for unreconciled accounts.

Bank Reconciliation - Show current bank feed balance
Add the ability to display the current actual bank balance from the bank feed alongside the statement balance and Xero balance. This would help users quickly see their true available funds without needing to log into their bank separately.
Currently:We can only see the statement balance and Xero balance
Must log into bank separately to see actual current balance
No way to quickly verify available funds within XeroProposed Solution:
Add a "Current Bank Balance" column that pulls the real-time balance from the bank feed, similar to QuickBooks Online. This would:Display alongside existing balance columns

Chart of Accounts - Add visualisation when adding new account
It would be helpful when setting up new GL accounts in the COA if the screen would populate somewhere (even a drop down would be helpful) with the existing COA so you can see in same screen what’s already there and where your new account would fit logically

Bank Reconciliation - Add a new account code while reconciling
I wish you could add a new GL account to the COA right from the "create" tab of the match transactions page instead of having to click through to "add details" to access that function
5 votesHi, thanks for submitting this idea. As you mentioned, the Create option doesn't currently have a way to add a new account into your Chart of Accounts.
We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you, and your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can 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. 🙂

Bank - Change name of receive/spend money transactions
It would be most helpful if we could edit "receive/spend money" with "Bank receipt/payment", where "Bank" is replaced by the name of the bank, i.e. HSBC or Barclays, etc.
If more than 1 account with the same bank, HSBC Vat a/c or HSBC Paye a/c, etc....2 votesHi Bid, trying to better understand the purpose of your idea here and how it would help you when using Xero.
When you say you'd like to change the name of spend or receive money - Is there a place or flow you're using in Xero that causes confusion when looking at these transaction types?

Bank Feeds - Request for bank feeds for ABN AMRO Bank
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)
12 votesHey 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!

Bank Reconciliation - Add calculations into split section of Cash Coding
The Reconcile section split allows you to add, subtract, multiply and divide in the amount cell. The Cash Coding split section does not. I would like the Cash Coding split section to allow for the calculations so that you don't have to hop back and forth between Reconcile and Cash Coding in order to get all of the transactions in. This would save a lot of time for manual entry items.

Bank Reconciliation - Suggest matches for total of multiple transactions for the same Contact
In the bank feed, recognise transactions that cover a supplier or customers total balance, or multiple bills/invoices paid together rather than only suggesting matches for 1 invoice/bill.
