Bank Reconciliation - use the bank feed as a calculator
Use the bank feed as a calculator. Insert tick boxes and select the relevant tick box for money received and/or spent to calculate totals
For example, have a tick function (such as a tick within the Bills section) to add payments into / out of bank account.
The benefit could be to help users reconcile individual payments in the bank account against other ledgers used within the users business whether online or offline
See attached screenshot with example of tick boxes

Banking - Ability to enter and save a "Verified Statement Balance"
Ability to enter actual statement balance and statement date (i.e. from a PDF), compared to what the bank feed assumes it to be. This way we can verify that a user has actually checked the bank balance and the last date it was verified (and for what value). Xero is far to easy to post historic transactions without a clear reconciliation (due to always having items in "unreconciled" at any point in time.
There could be a link from the Bank reconciliation report, or as mentioned above, a box to enter last statement balance and date, for better oversight all…
1 voteHi Mark, appreciate your idea on this! Being able to mark a bank balance as verified would make month-end checks much easier and give you confidence that everything lines up. Right now, reconciling differences can eat up extra time.
At the moment, you can cross-check using the Bank Reconciliation Summary report, but a built-in verification option would streamline this.
This idea is now in Gaining Support so we can see how many of you would find this helpful and share that insight with the product team.

Auto reconciliation - Reconcile only when all fields match
The auto reconciliation feature in Beta is great but it would be appreciated if you could tailor what to reconciliation. Eg only auto process things that match not create new invoices (from memory). We need to upload tax invoices on all purchases, by auto creating it is skipping this important step. If people have already uploaded (via expenses) then its ok.

Reconciliation - Autofill account and tax when applying a bank fee
It is frustrating when manually reconciling transactions when a variance is a bank transaction fee and I select 'Bank Fee' as the reason for the difference only to then have to select bank fee again when completing the transaction line presented for the Bank Fee.
Surely, if I have selected 'Bank Fee' as the reason for the difference, the line presented could have the 'Bank Fee' nominal account pre-selected and the appropriate Tax Rate populated given that it is for a Bank Fee?
It's only a small thing, but it bugs me.3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how autofilling the account and tax fields when applying a bank fee could streamline reconciliation.

Reconciliation | Account transactions - Change terminology for payments
On the bank account transactions pages, when someone has paid one of my invoices, it displays as 'Payment: Joe Bloggs', it should display as 'Receipt: Joe Bloggs' as i have received the monies not paid them.
5 votesThanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Payments" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.
We get that using clearer terms like "Receipt" or "Payment Received" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through allocation of payments on an invoice.
Right now, this idea’s open for feedback and support, so feel free to keep voting and sharing how a change like this could help in your day-to-day.

Cash Coding - Bulk assign expenses to Projects
Assign multiple transactions to a project in cash coding. There should also be a projects field on the main page, rather than having to go to "add details>assign to project>search for project>click project>click ok>click reconcile".
As with many travelling workers, many of my transactions for a trip are all bunched together and it would save me so much on bookkeeping time and fees to be able to select multiple statement lines or transactions and "assign all" in one click. Under cash coding makes sense because the checkbox already exists for each line, Projects just becomes another column.

Lock date – Allow allocations in current period
New Feature:
The ability to choose what period to allocate specific Transactions / Credits in. Current period set by default. These should be payment type and credit type transactions.If the current period is the default this will save time by not having to open a prior locked period to allocate to a payment or invoice.
The current process falsifies when the credit was taken up and allocated, by forcing you to open prior periods which the credit was generated. When the debtor takes up the credit in current months payment, by opening prior periods this alters the locked period,…2 votesHi Katrina, thanks for sharing your thoughts on lock dates. Currently, tasks like allocating credit notes or prepayments can be blocked if transactions fall before the lock date. A non-advisor user can still apply a credit note if:
- The credit note is dated before the lock date and the invoice or bill is after the lock date, or
- The invoice or bill is dated before the lock date and the credit note is after the lock date.
However, if both the credit note and the invoice or bill are dated before the lock date, a non-advisor can’t apply it. In this case, an adviser needs to either temporarily remove the lock or apply the credit note themselves.
Xero also provides both a Standard and an Adviser lock date, which lets advisers restrict staff while still completing necessary allocations and adjustments.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can…

Bank Rules - previous/next rule navigation
Previous/next rule navigation buttons added to the Edit Rule page and a check box for loading the next rule on save.
This would speed up bulk editing like when first setting up or when there's been major changes.
Another useful feature would be to tie this to a bulk edit option. Select the rules, click bulk edit and then after saving the first rule, it progresses to the next selected rule and so on.

Bank Reconciliation - Select multiple statement lines to reconcile against transactions
We have a major customer who pays multiple invoices but splits their remittance across more than a single bank statement line. There does not seem to be ability to match a bulk deposit against more than one bank statement line.

Bank Reconciliation - Custom templates/defaults for reconciliation adjustments
It would be so time-saving to allow us to create default shortcut options for the reconciliation adjustment instead of only being able to choose "Bank Fee" or "Minor Adjustment". My "Bank Fee" is always the same information for all field (except for the amount), so why can't I just select a button that I can name something like "MY Bank Fee Default" and it fills in the fields automatically and takes me directly to the amount field?! This would save people HOURS of time every month when reconciling.
3 votesHi there,
Thank you for this suggestion!
I’ve assessed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support. Being able to create custom adjustment shortcuts would be a massive win for efficiency, especially for practices or businesses dealing with high volumes of bank transactions.
I've also updated the title to Bank Reconciliation - Custom templates/defaults for reconciliation adjustments to help others with the same pain point find and support this.
A quick tip for now: If your bank fees always come from the same bank account or have a consistent description on your bank statement, you might be able to automate this entirely using Bank Rules.
By setting up a "Spend Money" bank rule, Xero can automatically suggest the account, description, and tax rate the moment the bank statement line hits your screen, meaning you wouldn't even need to click the Adjustment button!
We’ll keep you posted on any…

Reporting - Analysis of bank accounts into account codes
What would be really useful would be a report that analyses historic bank account into nominal codes (p&l and balance sheet accounts). Pick start/end dates, choose weekly or monthly reporting, show opening bank balance, what came in and what went out, close bank balance, a choice of including figures gross or separating the VAT out. This does mean that Xero has to following through sales and purchase ledger payments to find out the account codes of the sales invoices and bills that were paid. I've asked Jax to do this and it can't. Come on, how about making your AI…

Practice Manager - Use the Ask feature to send and receive the Uncoded Statement Lines report
Would love to be able to send the Uncoded Statement Lines report via the Xero ask feature. It would be great if we could attach documents to the Xero Ask questions so it's much easier for the client to download the document, add their responses and re-upload to Xero Ask.
This way it provides easier visibility to firm on which clients have yet to respond to an Uncoded Statement Lines or if a bookkeeper is on vacation it is easier to jump in where needed and we aren't relying on a 3rd part platform.

Banking - Recognise bank account "Spaces" or "Pots" eg Starling, Monzo etc
Recognising Bank Account "Spaces" or "Pots" eg Starling, Monzo etc
Most modern banks are now providing this extremely useful facility, so it would make sense for Xero to incorporate recognising these kind of transactions please (rather than us having to manually enter fake transactions to move them out of the bank account.
Xero currently doesn’t show/cope with moving money around Spaces within a bank account?Come on guys, loads of banks are going towards this kind of functionality!
We can even pay DDs right from a Space.Pls can you add maybe “sub-accounts” indented underneath each Bank account to show where…

Bank Account - Add 'Reconciled By' column and filter to Reconciled Transactions
I'm just exploring the new "Reconciled Transactions" page and was just thinking how great it would be if, in addition to the "Method" column, there was something like a "Reconciler" column which would show which user reconciled the transaction. This would also be great as a you only want to review the transactions reconciled by a particular user, e.g., the client as an accountant or the owner of the file might like to review a bookkeeper's reconciling. Or even just to see who is the predominant reconciler would make this feature extremely helpful.

Bank Feeds - Support for Commonwealth Bank (CBA) personal credit cards
Bank feeds for Commonwealth Bank personal credit cards
9 votesHi Ben, thanks for sharing your idea. I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.
Currently, our direct feed agreement with CBA is limited to their business and corporate products. However, with the ongoing rollout of Open Banking in Australia, we know there is a lot of interest in seeing more personal account types supported.
I’ve updated the title to "Bank Feeds - Support for Commonwealth Bank (CBA) personal credit cards" so other community members can easily find this and add their votes.
Quick Tip for now: Until a direct feed is available, the most efficient way to get those transactions in is to download an OFX or CSV file from NetBank and use the "Import a Statement" feature in Xero. You can find a step-by-step guide on manual imports here.

Bank Reconciliation - Make Split payment option visible on View Selected Transactions
When reconciling bank transactions in Blue Xero, the "Split" option is currently only available at the individual transaction level in the "1. Find & select matching transactions" section.
It would be much more efficient if the "Split" option were also available in the "2. View your selected transactions" section. This would allow users to first select all invoices or bills that form part of a single payment, and then apply the split at that point, rather than needing to split each invoice or bill individually.
Additionally, if an invoice is selected without being split and the user moves on to…

Reporting - Show all uncoded/unreconciled Account transactions in one report instead of singular accounts
There is currently an uncoded statement lines report that you can run to view all uncoded/unreconciled statement lines. There is however no report that shows unreconciled account transactions for multiple bank accounts at once. You have to run this all separately for each account to be able to view or go into each account on the dashboard and filter on unreconciled. For an organization with multiple credit cards and accounts this is absolutely time consuming and not an efficient use of time. We need a report like the uncoded statement lines report that reports on unreconciled account transactions and this…

Bank Rules - Increase the maximum number of conditions per rule
There's currently a max number of conditions that can be added to one bank rule of, I think, 16.
This is very limiting, particularly for some of our rules. For example:
A bank rule that adds location tracking data, for example, EU, UK, USA, Rest of the World, based on the payment card country code. There are more codes than I can list in the conditions for some of the rules.
A bank rule that adds location tracking data, but is based on the customer's email address because the payment card country code isn't pulled through for this particular type…

Bank rule - Ability to set custom order when applying a rule in cash coding
When selecting to apply bank rules manually they are automatically shown in alphabetical order. I can see that this will be helpful for many, but it would also be useful to be able to manually set the order.
We have so many, I've had to apply numbers in the rule names e.g '1 - name a' '1 - name b' '2 - name a' '2 - name b'
Instead I'd like to be able to categories / group / manually order them.
1 voteThanks for also touching base with our support team on your idea here, Joanna. And, always welcome to reply to our status update if there is detail we're missing here in Product ideas 🙂
I'll re-open your idea here understanding it's more related to the rule ordering when applying through cash coding.
Lets start to get a sense of the interest from community in this here, I'll share if there are any plans made for enabling this here.
