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
9 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.

Lock dates - Ability to add password protection
Dear Xero product team,
Please could we have an option to Password protect Lock Dates.
Where certain user can only unlok Lock dates i.e. Accountants or Subscriber
At the moment anyone can unlock the Lock dates which defeats the purpose of the Lock Dates.
158 votesThank you for your engagement and feedback on this idea. We’ve seen some great suggestions in this thread on how a password-protected lock date could work. The current lock date feature prevents new transactions from being entered and can only be removed by Advisor level users, but we recognise that some users would benefit from introducing password protection.
As part of our new Xero Product Idea process, we have recently reviewed the idea and shifted this to “Accepted”. This reflects that this is an idea we’d like to develop, but that this isn’t currently on the roadmap. We'll be back with another update as soon as we have more to share.

Bank Reconciliation: Add the ability to search by contact account number when matching transactions
Bank Reconciliation - Match Does Not Work with Contact Account Numbers
The ability to search by contact account numbers when matching bank transactions is essential as most deposits on the bank statements are referenced with the client/customer account number only. The bank reconciliation ignores contact account numbers in totality.

Bank Rec: Option to add pre-defined bank fee to subtotal when reconciling payments
My payment provider has recently started taking their fee percentage prior to the deposit, versus charging me at the end of the month.
This has caused each of my deposits to mismatch the invoice total.
Meaning, I need to add a bank fee on each individual transaction.
It would be EXTREMELY useful to have a "default bank fee" or "default credit card fee" button that would:
1) Remember the Contact as [Payment Provider] (currently have to type that in manually)
2) Add a default description "Credit Card Processing Fee"
3) Allocate the charge to an account [5150 - Credit Card…9 votes -

Chart of accounts - Add support for subaccounts
Xero should have the ability (similar to QuickBooks) to have sub accounts in Chart of Accounts.
91 votesHi community, thanks for continuing to engage, and sharing your needs in adding more layers to your chart of accounts structure.
We know especially for some of our US customers that this can sometimes be a show stopper in using of Xero.
Right now, we do have a product team that have begun exploring the efforts that'd be required to implement a change of this nature - while we can't commit to any development at this point we'll share any progression with you all here. Thanks

Transactions: Built-in month end close process

Find & Recode - Ability to bulk update exchange rate of multiple transactions
Batch change exchange rate
Currently, once a receipt has been entered the only way to change the exchange rate is to go into each individual transaction and edit transaction->change the exchange rate. I have a situation where i have hundreds of transactions that have been allocated the XE.com rate, but i would like those transaction to have the user defined rate. Also in receipts entered using the iOS app will use the XE.com rate even if there is a user defined rate set in settings.
I would like a feature like "find and recode" so i can filter for all…19 votes -
Bank Reconciliation: Search for transactions across all accounts
Can we have the ability to search for a transaction , by amount , payee or description across all bank accounts. Rather than having to go into each bank account and sort dates etc and than search. Having the option to choose all bank accounts, rather than an individual bank account would be awesome.
253 votesHi team, we get how searching across bank accounts would be useful when looking for a specific transaction.
While our product team have reviewed this idea, we don't have any plans for developing this capability in the short term.
That doesn’t mean it’s off the table, and we'll continue to assess the interest from community in this as we keep planning our roadmaps.
If things change we'll gladly share with you all here.
In the meantime, you can use the search in Xero and filter by bank transactions. It’s not a perfect solution, but it can help in some situations.

Reconciliation: Remove archived accounts from drop-down menu
I have a number of accounts that are archived. However they still appear in the dropdown options when I reconcile an account. This makes for confusion when selecting accounts.

Cash coding - Overpayments
As an accounts practice, we are looking to reconcile bank in timely manner, and not particularly concerned about supplier payment allocations against particular invoices. Therefore we would like to see cash coding option for Advisor to allocate purchase invoice payments against supplier account as overpayment, as we would be reconciling supplier balances after bank is all allocated. We would then reconcile overpayments in each individual supplier account.

Chart of Accounts: Ability to merge accounts
I would like to be able to merge accounts (of the same type, ie expenses) to one account when there was two or more of the same account created.
Example: Say you've converted from another accounting system, and there were sub-accounts that are all the same account - that you want to merge into one account. To be able to merge the accounts - without doing a Find and recode.
Or, the client opened another expense account for something, and one already existed... to be able to merge the two would be a quicker solution instead of find and recode.
70 votesHi everyone, appreciate your feedback on merging chart of accounts. We understand how this could be useful for tidying up accounts, especially after system conversions or when duplicate accounts appear.
While there’s no merge function right now, there are a couple of options that might help:
- You can use Find & Recode (available to users with the Adviser role) to move transactions from one account to another before archiving the accounts. We know this won’t suit every situation, as it requires unlocking periods.
- In financial reports, if you have several related accounts, you can edit the layout to group them for easier review and analysis.
After reviewing this idea, the product team has noted this is Not in pipeline, meaning it’s not something we’re planning in the near term. The idea will stay open for votes, and we’ll continue keeping an eye on the level of interest here.

Bank Reconciliation: Bulk import recieved payments
Some of our customers are paying upwards of 100 invoices at one time. The ability to import a csv into Xero (that can be extracted from the remittance advice provided from the customer) would save a lot of processing time instead of manually using the Find & Match feature in the bank rec screen.
33 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on this idea, everyone.
We’ve recently introduced a feature that may help with some of the needs raised here, and we’d be really interested to hear whether it’s useful for your workflow.
Many organisations now have access to Smart Document Capture, with the rollout still continuing across regions. This feature allows you to upload files into Xero, review the extracted information, and create transactions from those documents, including spend and receive money transactions.
You may also find importing a pre-coded CSV bank statement helpful, particularly if your organisation doesn’t have a bank feed available.
To be transparent, we don’t currently have plans to support importing received payments. That said, we’d encourage you to try these features and let us know here how they work for you, and whether there are still gaps for your use case.

Bank Reconciliation - Show more information in the Reconcile tab, before clicking 'More details'
At the moment you only get a small amount of the bank reference line to see for transactions so I find myself constantly having to click on the details link to reconcile. Can we have the option to display the whole (or at least more) of the reference line?
65 votesHi team, we thoroughly appreciate your support and feedback on how seeing more of the statement line details would be useful, saving you time and clicks when reconciling.
As we continue to develop the way you perform bank reconciliation in Xero our team have a close watch on the ideas we have in this space. I want to be upfront that at this time this isn't something we have planned but this is something our product teams will consider in future planning so I'll share if there are any updates here.

Settings - Ability to lock bank Reconciliation Period
To be able to lock the bank once reconciled, so no more transactions can be entered or manually forced through the bank
39 votesHi team, sorry it's taken so long for us to return to the idea here.
I appreciate the feedback from my last update where I suggested lock dates as an option and hear why this isn't a viable option for some.
If you're based in the US or CA you may want to check out our newer feature 'Reconcile period' that enables you to reconcile and close period within each bank account.
It'd be good to hear if users from other regions in this idea believe reconcile period would resolve what you're after here and I can merge in to this idea where we're continuing to track interest for expanding this feature to other region. Thanks

Cash coding - Keyboard shortcut for "Payee"
Cash coding currently has a keyboard shortcut to copy the nominal above, which is great..... Please can we have a keyboard shortcut made for the "Payee" that works in the same way as I often alphabetically sort these so it would be a huge time saver.

Banking - Increase character limit on bank reference field
Bank feeds from Bendigo Bank, and I presume all other OSKO payments.is being fed into the reference field. It concatenates the description, payee and reference field.
The problem is the field is now too short with new OSKO payment descriptions, so the reference field is often dropped off making some transactions difficult to match. A simple solution is to make this field longer.13 votesHi everyone, thank you for your votes and comments on this idea, and our apologies for the delay in providing an update.
For context, the issue is with how data is supplied to us from the bank. For direct feeds, the information you see in Xero, including the format of the reference field, is provided directly by the financial institution. We are not able to control how this information is formatted and sent to Xero.
For those of you experiencing this with Bendigo Bank, we recommend contacting the bank directly to request that they make changes to the way this OSKO payment data is provided on their feed.
In the meantime, we will leave this idea open to continue tracking support on this.
