Chart of Accounts - Increase the maximum character length for Account Codes
The current limit is 10 alphanumeric digits. I work with non-profits and need to be able to approximate segmented accounts. At 10 digits, we are up against the limits of what can be encoded. With longer account codes, we could not only encode more information, but also add delimiters to improve readability and extensibility. Longer account codes would also be a workaround for the fact that we cannot create custom report codes. I still think that's a good idea, but I understand it might be technically difficult. I cannot imagine that simply allowing longer account codes would be a big…
3 votesHi Andrew, thanks for highlighting this idea. We can see how having support for longer account codes would make it easier for businesses with more complex chart of accounts structures, or those migrating from other systems, to retain their existing account numbering.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how longer account codes would support your accounting workflow.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to change statement lines' date
Hi Xero,
When doing bank reconciliations, we often have to change the dates on rec lines.
It would save so much time if you did not have to click into the transaction to change the date.Likewise, in cash coding - You can change every other detail except the date, meaning you have to go back into individual transactions
Have attached screenshots.
3 votesHi Natalie, thanks for sharing your feedback here.
We can see how having the ability to edit the date on a bank statement line could help in situations where the bank processing date differs from the date you need for your reconciliation workflow.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how this would support your reconciliation process.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to enable or disable auto-reconciliation for Spend or Receive items
When auto-reconciling, separate spend items from received items. The Aged Receivables department does not find the auto-reconcile feature useful, whereas it is beneficial for the Aged Payables department.
There should be an option to enable auto-reconciliation for spend items while disabling it for received items
3 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why having separate controls for auto-reconciliation of Spend and Receive transactions would be useful, especially for teams managing different parts of the reconciliation process.
The idea is to allow users to enable or disable auto-reconciliation settings separately for Spend and Receive items, giving more flexibility over which transactions are automatically matched.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this workflow improvement useful.

Checks - Ability to manually add number
I would like to be able to manually enter Check numbers. Xero thinks I printed a check, but I didn't & I am not able to use that check because it automatically goes to the next number it thinks is unused. Reconciling the bank account amount is more important than the correct check number. For example, if I misprint a check onto a blank piece of paper and need to reprint it, it wants a new check number not the number that I had which wasn't used. I currently have 12 unused checks in my pile because Xero thinks they…
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea 🙂 We’ve moved it to Gaining Support.
We can see how being able to manually enter a check number would be helpful, especially where a check has been misprinted or needs to be reprinted. This would give more flexibility to keep check numbers aligned with the physical check stock while still focusing on getting the bank account reconciled.
You can now share this idea with your friends and colleagues so they can vote and comment too.

Bank feed | Yodlee - Real time bank feed
My bank connects via Yodlee and is consistently 7-10 days behind. Upon manually refreshing it is still several days behind. This makes staying on top of reconciliation in a timely manner frustrating and at times creates more work as items that have been user entered and manually reconciled then appear again from the bank feed. The rest of Xero is great to use but this one feature is a significant negative.
3 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea. We understand you’d like Yodlee bank feeds to update more quickly, ideally in closer to real time, so transactions are available sooner for reconciliation.
This could make it easier to manage day-to-day bookkeeping with out waiting for feed delays.
We’ll continue to monitor feedback and input from the community here.

Bank Feeds - Add automatic bank feed support for Hong Leong Bank ConnectFirst business accounts
Xero urgently needs to add support for Hong Leong Bank commercial banking accounts (ConnectFirst) for automatic bank feeds and auto reconciliation. Right now, the Hong Leong connection appears limited to personal banking, which is not useful for many real business users.
For companies like ours, the actual operating account is under ConnectFirst, not personal banking. Without commercial bank feed support, we are forced into manual uploads and manual reconciliation, which defeats the purpose of automation and increases admin workload and error risk.
Please add Hong Leong ConnectFirst support as soon as possible. This would be a high-impact improvement for Malaysian…
3 votesHi Rex, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for automatic bank feeds for Hong Leong Bank ConnectFirst business accounts, so transactions can flow directly into Xero without needing manual imports.
Having a direct connection could help make reconciliation more efficient and reduce extra steps when managing daily finances.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

Bank Feeds - Streamline 2FA loops for RBC
New RBC Royal Bank Feed Flinks is very cumbersome for 2FA it asks for the code twice. It also cannot see the Line of Credit feeds that has to be refreshed separately compared to the old connector (Yodlee?). Would be great if you could give feedback to Flinks for a faster connection.
3 votesHi Samantha, thanks for sharing your feedback on this. The suggestion here is to streamline the two-factor authentication (2FA) process for RBC bank feeds, reducing the need to re-verify as often when accessing your connected accounts.
We’ve updated this idea to **Gaining Support** so we can continue tracking interest and share your feedback with our teams.
A quick note: this post also mentions support for RBC Line of Credit feeds. To keep ideas focused on one improvement at a time, please create a separate idea for that request so it can gather its own feedback and support.

Bank Reconciliation - Record Spend and Receive money when reconciling
It would be useful to have the ability to record both a 'Spend Money' and a 'Receive Money' transaction when reconciling a single bank line item.
For example, when reconciling a bank deposit (money received), a user should be able to simultaneously record a portion of that money as a 'Spend Money' transaction (e.g., for cash expenses paid out of the deposit) in addition to the main 'Receive Money' entry. This would prevent the need to leave the reconciliation screen, streamlining daily workflows for businesses that handle cash deposits combined with cash expenses.
The attached screenshot illustrates a scenario where…
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
In the meantime, this can be solved by adding a negative line item when creating the receive money transaction or by using the adjustment option.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Bank Feed - HSBC more frequent updates than every 24 hours
HSBC Business bank feed that updates more frequently than 24 hours in arrears. The fact that it takes more than a day for a customer payment to appear in Xero makes it hard to have effective account management.
3 votesHi Nikki — thanks for sharing this and explaining how more frequent updates would help your account management. I can see that you have raised this previously with Xero Support and as you know there is a delay of 24 hours for the UK HSBC bank feed to reduce duplicates 😣. We can assure you that we’ll keep monitoring this and will update the thread as further improvements become available. Thanks again for raising it and helping us track demand.

Bank Feeds - Direct feeds for Griffin Bank
Are there any plans to include Griffin Bank for automatic bank feeds soon?
3 votesThanks 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.

Chart of Accounts - Change Xero's default Entertainment ledger codes
Chart of Accounts - the ledger codes (a) Entertainment-100% business and (b) Entertainment-0%. Can you change these categories? We accountants all know that the descriptions are misleading.
Almost all (unqualified) bookkeepers use (a) for client entertainment and claim VAT. Subsequently, accountants blindly treat this category as business expenses, reducing the taxable profit. (i.e. wrongly deduct it for corporation tax purposes) I cannot tell you how many cases I've seen in the past few years.
Please change the default categories to (a) Staff-only entertainment and (b) Client entertainment?
3 votesHi Ray, appreciate your raising this through product ideas.
We'll get a sense of the interest in changing this within the default chart of accounts from the community here.
Just to confirm, while Xero offers a default chart of accounts, you can import your own chart of accounts to set these up as you prefer, or edit individual accounts within Xero.

Bank Account - Visibility of Credit Card due dates
Given XERO is pulling in credit card transaction details can they pull in payment due dates to help manage timing of payments? Could be as simple as a "Payment is due" flag that a user can manually turn off if they want after paying.
3 votesThanks for the feedback here team, we appreciate how more visibility of credit card payment due dates could help with managing cashflows.
This isn't something we have direct plans for atm, but will continue to monitor interest in this idea closely and share if there is any progress.

Bank Accounts page - Filter bank accounts by unreconciled
I have 22 bank accounts and loans on the "Bank accounts page". It would be good if I could quickly filter the unreconciled ones to the top, rather than scrolling through looking for unreconciled accounts.

Bank Reconciliation - Show current bank feed balance
Add the ability to display the current actual bank balance from the bank feed alongside the statement balance and Xero balance. This would help users quickly see their true available funds without needing to log into their bank separately.
Currently:We can only see the statement balance and Xero balance
Must log into bank separately to see actual current balance
No way to quickly verify available funds within XeroProposed Solution:
Add a "Current Bank Balance" column that pulls the real-time balance from the bank feed, similar to QuickBooks Online. This would:Display alongside existing balance columns

Bank Reconciliation - Show Statement Type When Reconciling
When reconciling a bank account, it would be extremely useful to see WHERE a transaction is coming from (Bank Feed vs Imported Statement). Especially when deleting duplicate transactions, it'd be nice to know which is which as we prefer to not delete bank feeds when possible.

Find and Recode - Option to switch "Received as" to Prepayment, Overpayment, etc
Find and Recode payments from imported statements to change the "Received as" feature to Prepayment or Overpayment.
I have a lot of older statements to import (this particular payment provider does not offer a feed for importing automatically). These payments are nearly all prepayments, and now I have to manually reconcile them to Prepayments. Automation would be a real time saver!
3 votes -
Find and Recode - Ability to change the amount
Within the find and recode facility I would like the ability to change the amount posted. This can be particularly useful for repeating journals. For example, there could be a monthly release of a rent prepayment, where a rent review has been backdated several months and therefore the charge released needs adjusting historically. As it stands currently, each individual posting needs editing, rather than (say) being able to change 9 month's postings in one entry.
3 votesThanks for the detail in your idea here, Kevin. We don't have any plans to enable the changing of amount in Find & recode in the near term. We'll get a gauge a sense of the demand for this from community in your idea here.

Reconciling | Add Details - Highlight bank feed Description
During reconciling, when adding details - Description section coming from bank feed could be auto-highlighted saving time, allowing it to be changed more easily, rather than having to mouse across to select or (triple tap trackpad). This way if it didn't require a change of description, we can tab across. But having it automatically selected when tabbing through fields would be amazing if possible. eg. of highlighted area attached.
