Bank Rules - the ability to attach documentation would be very beneficial.

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.

Chart of Accounts - Ability to assign Foreign Currency to an account
I would like to be able to have a foreign currency account in the COA other than bank accounts. If an invoice is received and paid in a foreign currency, it should show as the foreign currency as the source, not the base currency. This affects loan accounts a lot and if invoices are paid from a loan account, instead of a bank account, you can't keep the currency consistent.
67 votesThanks for support in this idea, everyone.
We can see the benefit being able to associate a currency to an account could would have for customers in helping keep transactions consistent in their source currency.
This isn’t currently on our roadmap, but it’s something our team will consider as they plan the future of multi-currency across Xero.
We’ll keep an eye on the feedback here and make sure to share if there are any updates, with you all.

Banking | Account transactions tab - Show transaction description
The Account Transactions tab has very weird information presented. I need to see either the Description from the Transaction or the Expense Account account it's hitting. I see neither.
In the Description Column of the Account Transaction Tab, you have the vendor/contact, not the Expense Description. In the Reference Column, you have the bank reference, which is fine, but it's a duplicate of the vendor info. You're leaving me with no useful information about the transaction.
This is something Quickbooks has figured out. I can see how the expenses are being categorized without opening every individual transaction. This is a…

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.
41 votesHi team, thank you for adding your support to this idea. We understand how having the ability to lock individual accounts could help in preventing transactions being posted to specific accounts and accidental posting that can impact your reports.
While this is something we'd like to continue tracking we want to be upfront that we don't have any development to accommodate this need planned in the short term.
I will make sure to share if there is news for you here.

Banking | Account Transactions - Show # of unreconciled transactions
Bank : I work in practice an an issue I see day in and day out is unreconciled Account Transactions. Unlike the 'Reconcile' tab, there is no number in brackets to indicate how many unreconciled Account Transactions there are to prompt people to look at it.
Most of my clients didn't know about the Reconciliation Report, all they concentrate on is getting the number on the 'Reconcile' tab as low as possible.
I would really like to see the number of unreconciled Account Transactions to appear on this tab.

Lock date - Ability to set for a future date

Chart of Account - Ability to change bank a different account type
Ability to change a bank account to a different account type. e.g. A bank account that should be an equity type was added as a bank. To resolve this requires adding a new equity account type, transfer the bank account balance and archiving the old account. These could be avoided if we are able to change the account type in the COA.

Banking | Manual import - Option to reverse Credits and Debits columns
A common problem importing bank files is the reversal of Debits and Credits. This is especially common with Credit Cards.
The "fix" that Xero recommend is to modify the file with a spreadsheet editor. This is only possible with CSV files and is error prone.
A setting to reverse credits and debits when importing bank files would be immensely useful when your credit card provider statement has it's debits and credits reversed.
Or maybe allow a bank to be treated as a Liability?

Batch Payments - Ability to 'split' when reconciling
Currently a client can upload a number of invoices and then create a batch payment for these invoices. When they make a payment for 1 of the invoices in the batch, you have to remove and redo the payment then match the separate invoice up, and then recreate the batch payment, excluding the amount which has now been paid. Would be easier if like with invoices, the batch payment could be split, saving the new to remove and then recreate the batch payment.
348 votesHi team, we appreciate hearing how splitting batch payments could make reconciliation faster and less manual, especially when only one invoice from a batch is paid and the rest remain outstanding.
We agree there’s a real opportunity here to simplify the process. While this isn’t something we’re building right now, it’s part of a broader set of ideas we’re considering as we look at how to make reconciliation more flexible and efficient.
For UK and US customers we have online bill payments that make the batch and reconciliation process much simpler - If you’re not too familiar with online bill payments you can get to know more through Xero Central and learn if this solution is right for you;
Similarly, we are working on a solution for our AU customers and will be sure to share more as…

Bank Reconciliation - Indicator of Unreconciled Items in Drop-down Menu
When completing Bank Reconciliations (especially for those customers with 5+ bank accounts) it would be useful to see an indicator of Unreconciled Items in the drop-down list at the top left corner of the screen. This could either be the number of unreconciled items, or simply an asterisk to indicate there are items to be reconciled.
I often use this drop-down to switch between their most-used bank accounts, but if there was something to indicate which accounts still have unreconciled items, this would be immensely helpful and save a lot of time switching back to the main Bank Accounts screen…

Reconciliation - Foreign payment from foreign currency (different)
It would be useful to be able to reconcile a payment from one foreign bank account (eg USD) for another foreign currency.
We tend to have predominately USD customers and a lot of EUR suppliers, so we find that quite often we make a payment to our EUR supplier out of our USD bank account.
When reconciling this in the bank we have to post a payment to a manual clearing account to then be able to post the payment to the EUR Supplier account to clear the invoices.
It would be useful if the feature shown when reconciling (show…

Bank reconciliation report - Set default date period
New bank rec reports are based on the start of the month to the current date as a default. The old bank rec report just had an end date. Would like a fast way to move end date field and not have to also alter the start date.
13 votesHey community! As a few of you have rightly pointed out, the previously posted workaround isn’t suitable if your end date is prior to your start date. In this case, you will have to update both start and end fields.
Thank you to everyone that flagged that, and apologies for the confusion.
Because the the Bank Reconciliation summary lives in the Bank Reconciliation reporting pack, the date picker available is the same as the other bank reports (Bank Statement and Statement Exceptions).
Understand that some users would prefer an ‘as-at’ date instead, similar to the older report. In the meantime, you can select the same date in both fields to achieve this.
As that doesn't quite solve this for some users, we're leaving this idea open to continue to collect and share your feedback with our product team.

Find and Recode - Find by Item Code
Add an option to find all transactions by Item Code
Example: I recently had a client who put the wrong sales accounts on some of their inventory items but had been making sales transactions for 14 months without noticing. The P&L did not accurately reflect the sales of the actual inventory categories because of this.
There is currently no ability to find all the transactions by inventory item code to quickly recode the original transactions.
The work around is painful for 1000's of sales - Run a report on transactions by item code, save to excel, add a column for…

Reconciliation - Add Reference without clicking add details
It would be helpful to access the reference field in the bank reconciliation screen without needing to click "add details"
15 votesHi team, thanks for sharing how this idea could make your workflow a little simpler when reconciling. While we're continuing to work on efficiencies to reconciling in Xero, I want to be open that adding the reference field to the main screen is not in our short term plans. We're continuing to stay engaged with the interest from our community across ideas in this space and if there is any news we will share with you, here.

Cash Coding - Ability to attach file
It would be nice to have the option to attach files when using cash coding on the bank. To attach a file, I have to go back to the bank recon tab, find the entry and then attach the file. This wastes a lot of time. A small attach file icon or the option to attach a file on the drop-down will save a lot of time.

Bank Reconciliation: Automatically recognise and remove duplicate statement lines
Imported bank statements - propose for Xero to spot "duplicate" transactions as to remedy this situation I had to process a large number of lines one by one across a number of different accounts
10 votesHI everyone, returning to the idea here we're going to move this to Not planned. However, we understand wanting to ensure the accuracy of your bank statements and reconciliations in Xero.
As mentioned in my last update - Xero won't automatically delete duplicate statement lines for you, however you can run the Duplicate statement lines report to help identify and remove duplicates, so you can choose which of the statement lines in your bank account you'd like to keep and reconcile.
There is also the Statement exceptions report in the Bank Reconciliation report pack that'll show where statement lines have been deleted in an account due to being a duplicate.
