Bank Reconciliation | Suggestions - Matching by invoice number rather than amount
Reconciliation to be matched by INVOICE NUMBER rather than amount
9 votesHi community, appreciate the interest for being able to match based on the invoice number, even if the amount of the statement line and transaction in Xero differ. While this isn't something we have plans for at this stage, it'll be good to get a sense of the interest for this here.
Just to confirm for everyone coming across - The way suggested matches work currently is based on the amounts of the statement line and transaction being the same and also looking at most of the fields of a statement line and comparing with transactions entered to show a preferred match.

Chart of Accounts - Ability to set a default tax rate for new accounts
Be able to set an automatic default tax rate when new sales or expense accounts are created. In our country, the sales tax rate changed, and by default when I create a new account, it gives the old tax rate. Unless I change the Default tax rate for this specific new account to the current tax rate, I will be given the old tax rate by default. This has given us accounting problems that are sometimes hard to trace when one doesn't change the tax rate manually each time a new account is created.

Find & Match - Separate columns for invoice number and reference
On the Find and Match section of the bank rec, I would like to see the Reference number and the Xero invoice number in separate, sortable columns much like you can in the sales overview screen. In the current set up, the reference number is not sortable. The ability to sort by reference number in this particular screen would probably save me a couple of hours each week.

General Ledger - Ability to consolidate depreciation per asset category
Consolidate Depreciation posted to GL per asset category - currently my deprecation is reflecting per asset in the GL expense account. The Asset Register and Depreciation Schedule already serve the purpose of the per line item amount and basis for a reconciliation. Duplicating the detail adds a large amount of data into my GL ,especially when the asset base starts to grow. Please can it rather be consolidated in the GL per asset category per month ?

Bank rules - Run this rule on 'selected' bank accounts, instead of all or just one
It would be great to have the option when creating a bank rule to tick the bank accounts to run the rule on, as opposed to having ALL or just one. We often need to run the rule on say three of the five bank accounts, and are forced to set up three identical bank rules just so we can select each account, as we don't want to run the rule on all five accounts. This is particularly prevalent when using tracking categories. Some entities have different bank accounts for different areas of their business and when coding we'd like…

Bank reconciliation - View date last manually reconciled
Is there an option to show "Manual Bank Reconciliation Date" rather than Reconciled Date? The reconciled date is system generated and it does not mean much if the balances are out to start with. This would allow the user to know when bank rec was actually performed by a human.
4 votesHi Jo-Ann - when you say you'd like to view the date the bank account was manually reconciled would this be on the org's Dashboard?
As a means of viewing this information at present - you could run the History & notes and view only Bank transaction items where you'll see the name of the user and date that the last transaction in the org was reconciled. 🙂

Bank Reconciliation - Bank 'statement details' screen covers invoices
There has been an ongoing BUG in Xero, on the bank reconcile screen, when you select more details about the transaction, it covers the invoices. If you have invoice references in the details, you have to close that then select the invoices in the reference. Xero should not cover the invoices, but display the details along the side, see CASE BUG CX0013467462 for full details and screenshot.
4 votesAppreciate your screenshot and can see what you're meaning here, Craig.
While this is not a bug we appreciate this is not ideal and understand why you'd like to be able to view these to items at once. Currently these are two separate features in the Reconcile screen which is why they work in isolation and the More details view can be open and closed while working with Find & Match.
We don't have immediate plans for changing this behaviour, however I've shared with our team and we will let you know if there's any change planned.

Chart of Accounts | Spending caps/limit based on budgeted amount
Is it possible to introduce a spending cap in the Xero based on the agreed/ set budget for each expense line to prevent incurring costs above the agreed/ authorised budget?
If the functionality is in place, raising a purchase order that will take the cost over the authorise budget should not be possible. Better still, if this functionality can be introduced, can it also be implemented at the tracking category level.
2 votesHi Brice, to confirm this isn't something that exists at present.
Right now, there's the ability to set a credit Limit at a customer level but not on a supplier side of things. We have an idea for this here, but appreciate what you're asking based on the budget comparative is a little different and I'll leave this idea separate so we can track he interest in each.
Welcome to add your support to the other idea if that's something you'd like to see too.

Chart of Accounts: Standard Canadian numbering
I have noticed that automatic numbering of accounts is different that what is general used in Canada. There should be a very clear option when starting a new Xero account to select Canadian numbering and an option to change the numbering to Canadian. For Example, in Canada, Assets start with 1, Liabilities start with 2, Equity start with 3, Revenue start with 4, Cost of Sales start with 5, Expenses start with 6,etc... I have a client who went ahead and started using Xero and it set up the accounts wrong and some accounts you cannot change the numbering to…

PayPal - Import proportion of VAT with feed
As a retail company with many hundreds of transactions each day it is a massive task to properly account for VAT. All our products are VATable inside the UK but we receive many orders from outside the UK which are non-VATable, or from other EU countries where we must charge a different VAT rate for our IOSS return.
PayPal holds details of the VAT that was collected as part of the transaction, but as Xero imports all these hundreds of transactions from PayPal it currently does not import those VAT details. That means we have to look at our other…

Bank Feed - Direct feed for BPoint (Commonwealth Bank Group)
We would like the option to setup a data feed in our Xero file for BPoint transactions to feed directly into Xero (like we have a data feed for our CBA business account). Currently these transactions come in through the CBA business account with no detail other than that they are a BPoint payment, whereas if we had the BPoint data feed setup we could receive all of this information (client name, invoice number, amount etc) to reconcile automatically.
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes on the idea for a direct bank feed for BPoint. We're keeping this idea open to continue gathering support from the community.
At present, the level of transaction detail that appears in your main Commonwealth Bank (CBA) feed is determined by the bank. If you'd like to see more detailed BPoint information within your standard bank feed, we recommend passing this feedback on to CBA directly to see if they can make changes to the data they send.
You also may wish to explore the option of manually importing your BPoint transactions as a potential workaround to capture the details you need. If you can export this transaction data from BPoint directly, you can then import the file directly into Xero to reconcile.
We will continue to keep an eye on the interest for this idea.

Reconcile | Stripe - Auto match
When a shopping cart item is purchased via Stripe (as opposed to via an invoice from Xero), the transaction goes to the bank and then is imported into Xero via the bank feed. Because of this, none of my transaction totals or associated fees come through, forcing me to manually adjust every single transaction to properly account for the fees in my bookkeeping. This is unsustainable and ridiculous. When I used PayPal, I was able to set up PayPal as an account and therefore properly reconcile everything coming in through that portal and then associating the transfers with the amounts…
4 votesHi Allyson, there is a way to automate your Stripe payments to the lines imported with your feed. We have some help on this here.

Bank Feeds - Set up two different bank logins from one Xero login
We have two accounts (bank & credit card) from the same institution. For bank feeds, please allow multiple logins from the same institution.
Once we login for a bank feed on one of the accounts, we can't set up the bank feed for the other account. It just asks us to choose the already logged in account.
This is documented here:
https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N000055543jSAA/how-do-i-connect-two-accounts-from-the-same-bank-that-have-different-loginsI also reached out to support. They said "a Xero user can only use one set of credentials (per bank) in a Xero organisation. We recommend that you ask another Xero user to login and activate the feed…
3 votesHi team, thanks for sharing this idea and for the detailed explanation of how this affects your workflow. We understand that it's common for a business to hold multiple accounts with different login credentials at the same bank.
Currently, Xero's architecture is built to link one set of banking credentials per user in an organisation. While we'll keep this idea open to monitor interest from the community, we want to be transparent that we don't have any immediate plans to make changes in this area.
The recommended solution is to have another user in your Xero organisation connect the bank feed using the alternative credentials.
If you would prefer not to have another person involved, you can add yourself as a user with an alternative email address and connect the second feed that way. It is free to add extra users to a Xero organisation, so this will not affect…

Reconciliation - Auto match with foreign currency transactions
Matching foreign currency transactions - Bills that have been approved in a foreign currency should be checked and matched against local currency transactions. These are very common in credit card transactions for online service subscriptions.
Also, the default setting to only match to local currency should be removed, or the user should be able to chose the default setting.

Chart of Accounts - Ability to lock individual accounts
The lock date feature is great for preventing back posting as a whole but we would benefit from a lock feature for specific nominal accounts - to prevent colleagues posting to a specific account until dates are unlocked.
32 votesThanks for your idea, Sarah - We'll get a sense of the interest here.
Perhaps in the meantime you could look to use the Archive and restore options for an account in your chart of accounts as a way of managing this?

Bank Rules - Ability to set defaults for steps of Create rule
When adding a bank rule is it possable to change
No 5 Add rule details to deault to "all accounts" rather than the account you are currently in
A rule set up for fuel will be the same allocation no matter what bank account you are in
Where do you chande the system defaults?3 votesHi Greg, while there's no way to set your own defaults for Bank Rules in Xero.
The existing default will differ depending on where you start the Create rule flow.
- If you're in the process of reconciling your account (via the Reconcile screen or Cash coding) the default for '5. Add rule details > Run this rule on' is the bank account you were reconciling
- On the other-hand if you Create rule from the Bank rules screen, this'll default to 'All bank accounts'
While this isn't something we have plans for at present. Appreciate how you'd like to set up a default regardless of where you start this and have adjust the title of your idea, here and we'll keep an eye on the support for this.

Reconciliation | Cash coding "Split" - Option to Save and Reconcile
It would be great once you have split a transaction that rather than just clicking on save and being returned to the Cash coding screen to click on reconcile, than you could have an option to click Save & Reconcile so that the transaction is coded and reconciled all in the one screen and then it returns you to your Cash coding screen
