  1. I found the reconciliation options too complicated for my use case. I didn't understand or need the codes and found my best efforts left the balances showing the wrong amounts. Really all I would need is a distinction between "Money in" and "Money out", and custom tagging so I could track my own categories rather than try to make sense of a technical coding system.

  2. My request is to allow us to have a CSV column with data in it that will automatically populate the "Why" field with the bank account description content. I have a client with hundreds of different payees and recipients and each has a different description. Very few are consistent each month, and those are covered by the bank rules, but that is only about 5% of her transactions. She wants the same description in the ledger as is on the bank statement. It is very tedious for me to copy and paste the bank description into the"why" field for each…

  3. When importing bank statements on the import screen, it would be great to have the account balance shown on the screen.

    Yes it shows the latest transaction imported but some statements will have transactions for the same day shown after this transaction that may or may not have already been imported - you would have to go back to the bank statement screen to confirm the balance. Having the bank balance on the import screen would be a nice QoL adjustment.

    Thanks

  4. Our bank has changed from export of bank statements from OFX to CFONB (see below the new French standard) which is not yet supported by Xero! This has a huge impact on our workflow and time spent on getting our many bank transactions in the system. Can anyone help and vote for this to be upgraded as a format for bank transaction import..

    Thanks so much!

    CFONB (also known as AFB) is a French standard defined by the Comité Français d'Organisation et de Normalisation Bancaires/French Committee for Banking Organization and Standardization (CFONB) to meet the needs of the Association Française…

  5. Can we add a date filter within the cash coding tab so we are able to only cash code transactions for a particular period?

  6. If a Xero client has a credit card that is cancelled due to scam or new card etc, the only option is to create a new bank feed for the card so you can continue to get the data. In this instance, you end up with two bank accounts on your Xero file, both with a balance. At the moment, you can only do a transfer to move 1 balance to the other, than archive the one not needed. It would be nice to be able to merge the two together so that the balance works and the transactions stay…

  7. It would be handy if account transaction list that shows when you click on your bank account could be modified to include / remove different fields so that you can see information that you would like to see when looking at bank transactions without having to create a custom report.

  8. Hi there,
    Is there any way you could integrate the photos I put on my Starling Bank account of receipts I receive for purchases for my business account, so that I don't have to enter them twice, once on Starling and once on Xero.
    I realise this is not an option, as it's not happening, but the notes I add do come through, so could the photos too?
    In this new digital paperless world, it would be good not to have to keep every receipt and have to remember to photograph it twice. Hubdoc doesn't help, because you still have…

    Hi Lynda, thanks so much for taking the time to share this excellent suggestion. Automatically importing receipt photos from your bank directly into Xero is a great idea, and we can certainly see how much time that would save you.

    As you've pointed out, you can also import your receipts into Xero by using Hubdoc.

    For transparency, the direct bank feed for Starling Bank was developed and is maintained by the team at Starling. This means they control the type of data—like the transaction date, amount, and notes—that is sent through the feed to Xero. For that reason, the best way forward is to make this feature request directly to Starling Bank, as they are in the best position to add this functionality to the feed they provide.

    We’ll keep this idea open on our forum to continue gathering interest here.

  9. Could an enhancement be made so we are able to delete archived codes in bulk, either at practice level or client level, rather than having to do individually? would be helpful

  10. The current Statement Exceptions report in the Bank Reconciliation report pack doesn't differentiate between statement lines that were deleted individually and statement lines that were deleted as part of removed an entire statement. Both are listed as Deleted (Manually).

    It would be helpful if the report marked these types of deletions differently since only individually deleted statement lines still appear on the Bank statements tab/can be restored.

    Hey everyone, thanks for for letting us know that this is important to you. We agree that having an up-to-the-minute view of your bank transactions, every day of the week, helps make managing your finances so much easier.

    The great news is that many banks already offer daily feeds that include weekends and public holidays. Since each bank determines the frequency of their feeds, the availability of this can vary.

    If you’re with a bank that doesn’t currently send transactions every day, we encourage you to also reach out to them directly to request this from them specifically, and this will help them to inform demand for this.

    We’ll keep this idea open for votes and comments to track the demand for this idea in general, and let you know if there are any updates here.

  13. A setting in the backend to turn on/off to find and match transactions within a certain amount (i.e.-/+0.05).

    These are usually (if not always a rounding adjustment). It's currently a 4-step process to add a minor adjustment.

    Also, selecting minor adjustment or bank fee, can the difference auto populate in the amount field?!!

  14. Can we please view more than the current bank statement lines in cash coding?
    At the moment you can only view 4 bank statement lines in the cash coding tab. Date, Payee, Reference & Description.

    We have found that sometimes we have clients using the Analysis Code, particulars or Code to reference details for the bank payment so when these come through to cash coding the view only items are all blank.

  15. There should be an ability to set up an intercompany account using the bank feed function between businesses that are 'connected'. This would save countless hours manually journalling transactions. You should be able to create a transaction in the bank feed, or mark an invoice as paid by the intercompany account and the corresponding transaction should show on the respective other company.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your votes on this idea. While we're always interested in integrating with more banks, the most effective way to get a new feed established is for customers to request it directly from their bank. The more that SumUp hears from its own customers that a Xero integration for bank feeds is needed, the more likely they are to work with us to build one.

    For now, you can manually import your SumUp transaction data into Xero using QIF, OFX, or CSV file types. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the Xero Central article below.

    This idea is open for voting and comments, and we'll continue to keep an eye on the interest for this idea here.

  18. When a bank feed form is uploaded, you can see the status of this - currently if one person has uploaded bank feed form, no one else can tell. Would be great if it just showed "bank feed form uploaded and being processed" or something

    Hi everyone, thank you for this great suggestion about making the status of bank feed applications visible to all users within a Xero organisation.

    We understand that when one team member submits a bank feed form, the lack of visibility can lead to confusion or duplicate work for others.

    We encourage you and other members to vote, and add comments below sharing how having a shared status like "bank feed form uploaded and being processed" would improve your team's workflow.

    While we don't currently have plans to build this functionality, we'll be keeping a close eye on the support for this idea here and will keep you informed of any updates.

  19. On the reconciliation screen in the bank account, if a transaction is being picked up by a rule, could we see both which rule it is being picked up by as well as the name, account, description, and tax details that the rule is using?

    Thanks for the idea, Garrett. This isn't in any plans at the moment, but we'll keep an eye on it as the team are thinking about this in the wider context of the bank reconciliation process.

    In the meantime a workaround could be to include those details in the title of your bank rule. For example Supplier Name - Motor (20% VAT)

  20. Create a Bank Reconciliation Report only which would be the current Reconciliation report without trial balance, AP, AR, Fixed assets, general ledger exemptions and journal entries.
    I know you could custom create the report but xero generated would be more professional and would also includes any additional bank accounts .
