  2. Perhaps it's a bug but, while using cash coding /fast coding of a bank account, if nothing is ticked, I can still click 'Save & Reconcile all', which I have done by mistake on 2 occasions, causing panic and painstaking efforts to find out what had been coded and undo it (it was many things that were not meant to use the bank rule or needed further details) EG on the cash code screen , transactions that match bank rule are prefilled, which is great, but does not mean they are ready, so I should only be able to click…

    Hey! We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve the Cash Coding screen for you. You're right that this is currently designed to accept the suggested reconciliations, even if you haven't ticked anything yourself.

    This idea can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  3. It would be great if Xero allowed businesses to display logos in transaction details, similar to how many banks are now doing. This would make records more visually clear and easier to identify at a glance.

    Hi Ahmed, thanks for putting this idea forward!! This is not something we are pursuing at this time but keep an eye out on our Xero Blog to see upcoming improvements and additions, it may be something we do in the future ;)

  4. Would it be possible to add a feature to colour code our chart of accounts - especially expenses? When I am at the petrol station adding a receipt for a fuel purchase, it would be great to scroll down to a colour (with the account number). Another idea would be to have a favourites for expenses - we could add the ones we use most often.
    Thanks from a small business owner.

  5. Instead of referring to reconcile transactions, it would be better to refer to categorise or allocate transactions.

    Bank transactions are categorised - we tell Xero what each transaction is for - answers "What was this for?" However at present this is called Reconcile transactions

    Reconciling an Account - is matching the above transactions to the bank's records (statement) - checking that every transaction in Xero matches what actually happened in the bank account and the end balance matches.

    The terminology seems to confuse some and they think by categorising/allocating a transaction they have reconciled the account.

    Thanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Reconcile" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.

    We get that using clearer terms like "Categorise" or "Allocate" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through bank reconciliation.

    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.

    Every day I wish that was possible!

  8. Dear Xero Team,

    I am a regular user of the Xero Cloud Portal and appreciate the platform's intuitive features for managing business finances.

    However, I am currently facing a challenge when reconciling bank transactions. I frequently receive bulk deposits that are made up of a large number of small invoices—often exceeding 100. Unfortunately, Xero's current system limits me to matching only up to 100 invoices against a single deposit. This creates a significant bottleneck in my reconciliation process and affects my workflow efficiency.

    Feature Suggestion:
    It would be extremely helpful if Xero could increase the invoice matching limit to at…

  10. For Advisors only: if a padlock is present on an account of the COA I would like the padlock to go to the bank rules so they can easily be redirected to the new account. For example, we set up Directors Loan accounts for each financial year. Each year we hae to add a new account too the COAs and reroute all of the rules. Painful!

    Hey Michele, thanks for your suggestion to make the padlock icon on the Chart of Accounts a direct link to the associated bank rules.

    We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that would improve your workflow. We can see how this would be a huge time-saver for Advisors, especially when managing year-end processes like creating new Director's Loan accounts and rerouting the old rules.

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's, Shubham. We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you.

    We don't have plans for a feed for Griffin bank atm, but we'll start to monitor and track support your idea receives from the community.

  12. Convert Overpayment to Credit Note, or treat Overpayment the same as Credit note.

    We have a lot of customers who double pay their invoices and several who would like to see what credit they have on their account as they will order again - so don't bother with a refund.

    Creating overpayments seems like the most logical thing to do, but the functionality of overpayments is lacking in every way. There is no way to send a pdf version of an overpayment to a customer except for printing a statement. I've upvoted the suggestion to add printing functionality, but that…

    Thanks for sharing the bank you'd like us to build a feed with, angel. We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you.

    This isn't something we're developing just atm, but it'll be good to get s sense of the interest from your idea here.

    Hi Tania, thanks for submitting this idea! We understand it'd be to have an automatic alert for unallocated overpayments during bank reconciliation. Without this, credits can be easily missed and left unallocated.

    Right now, there’s no pop-up or indicator on the reconciliation screen to remind you about existing unallocated credits, so manual tracking is needed.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments help us see how important this feature is to the wider Xero community and guide what we build next.

  15. Right now, checks must be written by going to the top of the page, choosing "Spend Money," choosing the bank account, and then checking the "Pay By Check" box on the page. I regularly enter transactions right on the back account page through the "Spend Money" and "Receive Money" button. It would be great if the "Spend Money" area on the account page could just include the "Pay By Check" box so we could avoid the extra steps.

  16. Hi All,

    On cash coding screen, it would be great if there was an option to freeze the heading panels so you dont have to keep scrolling up if you have millions of lines to code. Eg: to uncheck all

    Thank you so much.

    Hi everyone, just a quick update to let you know we’ve reviewed this idea and marked it as Gaining Support.

    The suggestion to add floating headers in the cash coding screen makes a lot of sense, especially for those of you working through long lists of transactions.

    We’re keeping an eye on how much interest this gets, so if it’s something that would help you, feel free to add your vote or leave a comment. That kind of input really helps when we're looking at what to prioritise next.

    We appreciate you sharing your suggestion! This idea is now classified as Gaining Support. Introducing a direct feed for Country Bank (US) would simplify transaction imports and speed up reconciliation processes.

    In the meantime, you can always manually import the statement lines for Country Bank (US) into Xero,.

    If this feature would be helpful to you, we encourage you to vote or comment. Every bit of feedback helps us improve Xero.

    Thank you for your involvement in the Xero Product Ideas community.

  19. when searching for an invoice number in find and match while doing reconciliation, it would be useful not to have to hit enter every time, especially as i can only search one invoice at a time. it all adds up to excess clicks when doing large batch reconciliations

  20. When adding a bank fee adjustment during the details entry of a reconciliation, it'd save a click to automatically place the cursor focus on the contact field. This already happens when we click to add details to a reconciliation, so it makes sense for the same behavior to occur when we click to add a bank fee adjustment. One click...hundreds of times...lots of efficiency!

    Big thanks to Matthew for kicking things on this! The idea is to have the cursor default to the contact field when adding a bank fee during reconciliation. It’s a small change, but when you’re working through heaps of transactions, it can save a lot of time.

    If this would make your workflow smoother, we’d love to hear more from you. Add your vote or drop a comment to let us know, it helps the product team see how much this matters across the community.

    We’ll keep you posted here as things move along.
