Bank Feeds - Set up two different bank logins from one Xero login
We have two accounts (bank & credit card) from the same institution. For bank feeds, please allow multiple logins from the same institution.
Once we login for a bank feed on one of the accounts, we can't set up the bank feed for the other account. It just asks us to choose the already logged in account.
This is documented here:
https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N000055543jSAA/how-do-i-connect-two-accounts-from-the-same-bank-that-have-different-loginsI also reached out to support. They said "a Xero user can only use one set of credentials (per bank) in a Xero organisation. We recommend that you ask another Xero user to login and activate the feed…
3 votesHi team, thanks for sharing this idea and for the detailed explanation of how this affects your workflow. We understand that it's common for a business to hold multiple accounts with different login credentials at the same bank.
Currently, Xero's architecture is built to link one set of banking credentials per user in an organisation. While we'll keep this idea open to monitor interest from the community, we want to be transparent that we don't have any immediate plans to make changes in this area.
The recommended solution is to have another user in your Xero organisation connect the bank feed using the alternative credentials.
If you would prefer not to have another person involved, you can add yourself as a user with an alternative email address and connect the second feed that way. It is free to add extra users to a Xero organisation, so this will not affect…

Uncoded statement lines report - Common date formats e.g last month, last quarter, last year
Some xero reports can be run by last month, last quarter, last financial year etc. The above report can only be run by entering specific dates. Could this report have the same pre set date options added? This would be useful for client query lists for monthly/ quarterly BAS Returns, annual accounts/ tax returns etc

Bank Rules - Ability to set defaults for steps of Create rule
When adding a bank rule is it possable to change
No 5 Add rule details to deault to "all accounts" rather than the account you are currently in
A rule set up for fuel will be the same allocation no matter what bank account you are in
Where do you chande the system defaults?3 votesHi Greg, while there's no way to set your own defaults for Bank Rules in Xero.
The existing default will differ depending on where you start the Create rule flow.
- If you're in the process of reconciling your account (via the Reconcile screen or Cash coding) the default for '5. Add rule details > Run this rule on' is the bank account you were reconciling
- On the other-hand if you Create rule from the Bank rules screen, this'll default to 'All bank accounts'
While this isn't something we have plans for at present. Appreciate how you'd like to set up a default regardless of where you start this and have adjust the title of your idea, here and we'll keep an eye on the support for this.

Reconciliation | Cash coding "Split" - Option to Save and Reconcile
It would be great once you have split a transaction that rather than just clicking on save and being returned to the Cash coding screen to click on reconcile, than you could have an option to click Save & Reconcile so that the transaction is coded and reconciled all in the one screen and then it returns you to your Cash coding screen

Chart of Accounts - Ability to add custom fields
Provide the ability to add Custom Fileds to Chart of Accounts entries. Perhaps 3 each of the following field types... Date, Text, Number (to 2 decimal places), Logical Fields (Tick Boxes).
3 votesHi John, to better understand how these custom fields would help - could you explain where you'd expect them to appear or how you might use them?
For example, would you expect to be able to report on these? It sounds like you'd like them to be visible when entering an item such as posting a journal, or adding a line to an invoice however it'd be good to know how you expect these to differ to the fields that are available in those as well.
For example when adding an invoice you can enter an issue and due date, writes a text description and enter a price with 2d.p.

Bank reconciliation | Add a border to 'Discuss' box if there is a suggested match
Put a green border around the discuss box (in the dashboard reconcile tab) if there is a potential matched docket from queries so you don't have to click to the match button for every item to see if the ones you have processed were a match.

Bank Feeds - Automate imports for Philippine banks
There are a lot of businesses in The Philippines that would benefit from bank feeds. Even if you cover BPI, BDO and Union Bank I’m sure they would fund the development costs.
This combined with BIR accreditation would see XERO as the leading accounting product in a country of over 110 million people.
3 votesAre there specific banks you're connected to and would like to see a feed developed for? It'd be good to get this detail that we can share with our product teams.
Also to help community members understand exactly what they're supporting, as well as share these back internally with our teams it's best to keep one idea per thread - I've updated the idea here for Bank Feeds for Philippines and we can make this even clearer if you confirm which banks.
For reporting and BIR compliance I see another user has started an idea across here you can also support.🙂

Bank Reconciliation Summary - Filter by source
Filter Bank Feed By Source
When looking for bank errors because a bank balance is incorrect, it would make things quicker to filter by bank transaction source
Many errors are caused by the source being imported manually but the transaction has already been imported by bank feed
to filter these ones out would make things quicker3 votes -
Bank rule - Transfer money and Bank fee as 2 lines
Almost all the payment providers are now settling the amounts with the fees deducted from the captured/sale amount. This needs to be reconciled as two lines 1) Transfer to cash control account and 2) Bank fees.
Currently there is no way to create a rule for this, hence it is a big overhead for the reconciliation, with almost a large chunk of card sale having to go through this process.Can the product team please take care of this on priority? thanks
3 votesThanks for the confirmation Prashant.
Although not a direct solution right now, you may be aware that Stripe (one of our providers) has automated capability you can set up like you've described for automated matching.
Alternatively, if your payment provider takes a set % of the total sale then with a rule you could proportionally split a transaction.
You'll see this option at step 3. of creating a bank rule.

Reconciliation | Find & Match - Default to show spent/received items
In Find and Find and Match function in Bank Reconciliation
Set the "Show spent items" and "Show receive items" to default to what was last used, OR to be always on.
2 votesThanks for your feedback, Andrew. Appreciate especially with the new feature for credit notes why you'd like to have this default set.
We'll start to feel out the interest of this here and I'll make sure to let you know here if there are any plans for changing the behaviour of this check box.

Bank Feed - Update wording when selecting a bank account
When adding a new bank account the client needs to tick 'don't select' on all the other accounts which can be unsettling if these accounts already have bank feeds. There must be better wording for this, or remove the need to tick 'don't select'.

Make bank account search consistent across all areas - enable mid-string matching in transfer reconciliation
Current behaviour:
When reconciling a transfer and searching for a bank account, the dropdown search only works if you enter text from the very start of the account name. For example, if I have an account called "Emerge COGS", I can only find it by typing "Emerge" - searching for "COGS" returns no results and causes the dropdown to glitch.
The inconsistency:
This search behaviour is inconsistent with other areas of Xero. When making a payment from a bill, the account search works with mid-string matching - searching for "COGS" correctly brings up "Emerge COGS". This creates confusion as users…2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Bank Accounts - Uncoded statement lines button visible on page
Please could the 'Uncoded Statement Lines' button be reinstated on the new bank feeds page, rather than hidden under the ... menu?
It makes for an extra click every time and there's plenty of room on the page for it.2 votesThanks for your feedback on the Uncoded Statement Lines button placement.

Bank Feeds | Check Dates - Ability for Xero to autopopulate the check with date and payee
Currently, a check written is downloaded in the feed with the date the check cleared and no payee name. It would be fantastic if AI could read the check, enter the payee and the date the check was actually written rather than the date it cleared. That would save the user from having to look up the check on the bank website and manually editing it so that the bank reconciliation is actually correct.
2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea’s David. We can appreciate the need for AI to read the details such as payee and date when the check was written. We’ll start to track support in your idea from the community, here.

Auto reconciliation on match only
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.

Receipts - Automatically linking to bank transaction
When uploading a receipt, Xero should recognise the information on the receipt and automatically find the bank transaction or ones similar to match with, like what Quickbooks does. It would make life a lot easier.

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 Rec | Adjustments - Use Tab key to confirm selection instead of Enter
As Xero started to update existing modules, the "new" modules, took on this idiotic philosophy/logic that users should need to click Enter before clicking Tab.
Previously, I could type an account name (or part of one), use up/down arrows to highlight the account in the list, then click Tab to confirm the selection and move to the next field.
This is (fortunately) still the case in the Create transaction screen.
This functionality was removed from New Invoicing.. but fortunately, it was eventually returned.
This functionality has been removed from Adjustments > Bank Fee function.
It's annoying as ****. Just fix…

Revoult - Savings & Funds Bank Feed
Xero already supports a Revoult bank feed for the 'Main' account but when bank a feed established it does not include the 'Savings & Funds' bank feed.
As Revoult offer the 'Savings & Funds' account as part of the standard business account offering, majority of customers would use the 'Savings & Funds' account too as it is interest generating.
Please add a bank feed for the Revoult Savings & Funds to make it a seamless reconciliation process.
