  1. It would be great if we could have an option to use find & recode to change to several accounts at the same time (similar to cash coding), rather than having to use the function over again each time. For example, if a client codes many transactions to general expenses, it would be useful to have a single screen where you can change the coding, with a column for "Current Account" and a second column for "New Account".

  2. Xero should auto import all the transactions from the bank feeds even if it appears to be double entries of the same transaction. For example Toll fees with the same amount on the same day are only imported once into xero although all the transactions are on the bank's online profile.

  3. I quite often take on Xero 'tidy up' jobs, there are sometimes hundreds of transactions unreconciled, meaning lots of pages to click through. Working through my different checks I find bills/invoices that have in fact been paid, and then have to click through numerous pages of unreconciled transactions to find the one I want to match. It would be super useful if you could implement the find and match function on the cash coding tab. Its so much easier to find the bank transaction from the cash coding list, by sorting it, so to be able to finish the matching…

  4. I would like to see the limitation of receiving payment on 50 inovices be increased or removed completely. I Have a trucking company that issues hundreds of trip invoices to it's customers and the limit of receiving payment on 50 invoices at a time doesnt work for them.

  5. Xero should automatically recognise a Xero client account number in any bank transfer and allocate those funds to existing invoices in that client's account. This should either just occur automatically when a client payment matches the total on their statement, or alternatively, any payment should simply be allocated to the client's oldest invoices.

    Currently, when customers pay us for invoices that we have sent them, we search for their name in the “Match” function during the bank feed reconciliation. We then select the invoice(s) that match each payment and reconcile these.

    There are two major problems with this workflow:

    1. We…

    Hi Charlotte, can you expand a little on your needs or use cases for your idea here? 

    A wage would generally be connected to an employee in payroll. Managing a loan is a little different and we have suggestion of how to do this in our help here, and when it comes to drawings and introducing cash to the business this would generally relate to a specific shareholder and would be recorded as Spend or receive monies, if you'd rather not specify the contact you may want to set up a generic contact that you could code these sort of transactions too. 

  7. I need CN and (over)payment allocation lines in Account Transactions to be supplemented by invoice number as unique document number. Currently, there is a link through Reference, but Reference might not be unique entry, and so tracking credit note allocation is not impossible. Thanks.

  8. While performing a task of Bulk Income Reconciliation , I have to add Invoice one by one likewise 70123 , 70124, 70125 and so on. This is very time consuming task.
    Could we have range over there so that we can directly select all and reconcile the same.

    Hi there 👋, for the example you've provided here you could enter "701" into the search field which would search all unreconciled invoices that include this detail in the Invoice Number field. 

    While not a definitive range this'd enable you to focus on a group of invoices in a sequence - Would this suit for what you're after here?

  9. Chart of Accounts - need a suggested code numbering template to enhance uniformity and save time dreaming up numbers.

  10. Ability to automatically reconcile Stripe payments on mobile app. Currently Xero automatically groups transactions for Stripe payments to be automatically reconciled on desktop, but the Android app does not select Stripe transactions for automatic reconciling.

  11. On bank header screen where it shows "Statement Balance" and "Balance in Xero" could we have a simple "Difference" calculation to show the actual amount of the difference.

    Hi Valerie, while not shown in the Bank header, you can run the Bank Reconciliation report which will show you the balance out by figure. If the Imported statement balance hasn't imported or doesn't match your actual bank statement ending balance, you can enter this yourself at the top of the report and update so Xero will show a calculated balance out by amount.

    Hi Sandra, could you provide a bit more detail of the idea you have here? Would this be for the ability to automatically reconcile transfer transactions from one bank account to another?

  13. Intercompany Journal Mirroring

    The Problem

    When a user posts a manual journal in one Xero entity (e.g. to record an intercompany loan, recharge, or allocation), they must manually replicate the corresponding entry in the linked entity. This is time-consuming, error-prone, and breaks the audit trail across the group.

    The Proposed Solution

    Extend the existing Xero Network connectivity to support automated intercompany journal drafting i.e. when a manual journal is posted in Entity A, Xero drafts the mirror journal in the linked Entity B, ready for review and approval.

    • Linked entity mapping — Users define which accounts…

    Sorry Robert accidental post on the wrong idea! As per Malcolm's suggestion you can use the Xero network to send invoices from one company to another to create as a bill in the other. We don't have any plans to extend the Xero network to journals but for now we'll get a sense of interest from the wider community.

  14. Why do your devs keep burying things, that we need to frequently use, under menus?

    Please bring the "Transfer Money" quick button back to the Bank Accounts main page, rather than bury it under the 3-dot menu. That added click each time is incredibly annoying and takes away from the user experience.

    Side by side comparison below.

  15. Feature request: option to change default currency filter in Bank Reconciliation

    Hello Xero team,
    I’d like to submit a feature request regarding the Bank Reconciliation → Find & Match workflow for multi-currency transactions.

    When reconciling a bank transaction, Xero defaults to filtering matches to the same currency as the bank account. In cases where the transaction relates to an invoice or bill in a different currency, the user has to manually untick the “same currency only” filter each time.

    For users who regularly work with multi-currency transactions, this becomes a repetitive step and an easy thing to miss.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know how the ability to set a default for the currency filter in bank reconciliation would aid your workflow.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. When in a bank account and want to reconcile another bank bank account, it would be really handy from the drop down where we can choose the next bank account to go to, if the number of unreconciled items could also be visible within next to the name of the bank account.

    This stops going back to the homepage to see which account to go into next to reconcile.

    Thanks for sharing your suggestion for Xero. We've reviewed the proposed changes, and your idea is now officially open for community voting and comments.

    Please spread the word! Share your idea with colleagues and others who would benefit, urging them to add their vote and specific feedback. Community support is the key to moving this forward.

  20. Across Xero it would be very useful (and intuitive) to be able to type dates in formats other than dd mmm yyyy (for example dd/mm/yyyy, ddmmyyyy, etc). The dd mmm yyyy isn't the usual way to enter and clients have commented that it's irritating that they can't type the date in (they use the calendar instead) because it didn't occur to them to try this format, and even when you are aware the habit when typing dates into these boxes is to use one of the more common formats so it can lead to errors

    Hi Jonathan! Thanks for sharing this great suggestion about allowing more flexible date formats in Xero. We can see how being able to type a date in different formats (like dd/mm/yyyy) would be a much quicker and more intuitive experience for many, and acknowledge that this functionality is available within other areas of Xero.

    We've also added the supporters of this idea to these two similar ideas; New invoicing and Fixed Assets.🙂
