Reconciliation | Bank Transfer - Attach file
Bank Transfers - they are great and easy - but it would be awesome if we could just improve them in the following ways - some of these suggestions incorporates other suggestions - but thinking if you are working on improving this functionality - it would be great to do it all at once. Currently when you create a transfer from the Bank feed - you can only select a bank account and enter a reference - it would be great if you could also, add tracking code(s) on that screen too (as currently if you need to attach tracking…
29 votesHi team, returning to this idea here we do appreciate the interest in improvements and how we could make the process of reconciling transfers simpler when there are additional details or actions needed.
Being open we're unlikely to deliver all the points raised in this idea at once and it's best for our product teams to understand the interest in each separately.
We do have existing ideas that relate to most of these elements and I've linked to below, and I will edit the title of the idea here to reflec the ability to attach a file when reconciling a Transfer. Please do add your vote to each that matters to you and we'll be sure to share if there is any pogress for that idea respectively. Thanks

Bank Reconciliation - Show newest transactions first when sorting
It would be ideal when in reconcile bank, under the Account Transactions tab, that the lines are sorted newest to oldest as the first option under each sort category.
Now that we are years into using Xero, it is not necessary to see the old transactions as a first see option.
I typically sort my account transactions by Status as I want to see unreconciled items on the top and directly beneath that is the reconciled but the first line is the very first transaction posted years before. If I am trying to find a double entry in account transactions…

Bank Reconciliation - Change terminology from Reconcile to Categorise or Allocate
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.
28 votesThanks 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.

Being able to attach files to a reconcile period. This would be useful to easily reference supporting documents like the statement the period has been reconciled off.

Reconcile Period - Show end date of last reconciled period on Homepage
When an account is reconciled and the report is created for the period, it would be nice if there was a little summary alert for the end date of the most recent report on the dashboard tile (i.e. reconciled up to and including 28 Feb 2025). This would help to make VERY clear immediately which accounts are reconciled to which date and help to plan which accounts need work or need a report and which are done for the reporting period you are working on.
28 votesHi everyone, thanks for your support in this idea, We appreciate the need in having more visibility of the last reconciled period of a a bank account at a quick glance.
We're keeping a close eye on the needs around Reconcile period and are tracking demand in this type of reporting closely. We'll be sure to share if there are any updates with you here.

Bank Feed - Investec (UK)
Currently, Xero facilitates bank feeds with Investec (South Africa) although does not allow bank feeds to be setup for the UK & Channel island branch - This connection needs to be setup.
28 votesHi everyone, really appreciate you sharing this idea.
We see how a direct feed for Investec (UK) would create a smoother workflow and save you time when reconciling.
In the meantime, the best option is to bring your transactions into Xero by manually importing your statements.
A direct feed for Investec (UK) isn't on our immediate roadmap right now. However, we're keeping this idea open for voting to see how much interest it gets from the community. Every vote and comment helps us understand the demand and prioritise what's most important to you all.

Bank Reconciliation - Suggestion for color-coding spent and received items.
Our clients would like and update to the bank reconciliation screen, color coding spent items and receive items so that they can tell at a quick glance if it was money that has come in and money that has gone out of the bank account.
Having everything as white makes it difficult to do their coding.27 votesThanks for sharing your idea to colour code spent and received items on the bank reconciliation screen.
We've reviewed your request and it's a great one. Now, it's up to the community to show their support.

COA | Create new account - Ability to add reporting name on the fly
It would save numerous steps if:
When a new account is created from within a transaction (for instance spend money or journal entry) the option to add a reporting name was available, instead of having to update later through the chart of chart of accounts.
When creating a new account, through the chart of accounts or elsewhere, that the Report Code mapping category could be allocated at the same time.
27 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for all your feedback and support on this idea!
We know that sometimes you need to create a new account on the go—like when you’re right in the middle of entering a spend money transaction or a journal. But at the moment, you can’t create a new COA account then and there.
The current workaround is to create the account first from the Chart of Accounts before doing your actual task. While that gets the job done, we understand it’s not the most efficient way to work, especially when you’re trying to keep momentum.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it’s getting, and your votes and comments help show the value this would bring to your day-to-day.

Lock date - Separate lock dates for sales Tax and accounting period
Separation between Sales Tax/VAT/GST lock date and accounting period lock date.
It would save a significant amount of time if VAT periods in Xero could have a separate lock date than the accounting period lock date. For instance, an invoice/bank transaction is still outstanding when filing a VAT return, and the VAT return date could be locked so once this outstanding transaction is completed at a later date, it would automatically appear on the next VAT return. This should be separated from the accounting period lock dates, as you still want to account for that transaction in it's relevant period,…27 votesHi everyone, thanks for all your votes and comments on this idea. Just a quick update to let you know that this request is still open for voting and comments from the community.
We're keeping an eye on the demand for this idea here, and will be sure to post another update if changes are made in this area.

Banking - Make bank deposits from Undeposited Funds
When we receive checks from customers we record them to Undeposited Funds until they are actually deposited at the bank.
This should be a much simpler process in Xero: show a list of checks waiting to be deposited and let me select the ones to deposit. Xero should print me a deposit slip and record the transfer from Undeposited Funds to the specified bank account.

Find and Recode - Include option to Remove and Redo

Multi-Entity - Intercompany Account Transaction Feed
There should be an ability to set up an intercompany account using the bank feed function between businesses that are 'connected'. This would save countless hours manually journalling transactions. You should be able to create a transaction in the bank feed, or mark an invoice as paid by the intercompany account and the corresponding transaction should show on the respective other company.

Chart of Account - Ability to change bank a different account type
Ability to change a bank account to a different account type. e.g. A bank account that should be an equity type was added as a bank. To resolve this requires adding a new equity account type, transfer the bank account balance and archiving the old account. These could be avoided if we are able to change the account type in the COA.

Bank Reconciliation - Automatic coding of transfers between bank accounts
It would be great if Xero could automatically do the transfer between Xero bank accounts.
This is our most time consuming and often error-prone coding in Xero when it should be a simple fix. Many clients still battle with this.23 votes -
Bank Feed - Connect SumUp as a bank account
It would be great to be able to connect a normal SumUp account like you can Stripe or PayPal not just SumUp POS.
23 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes on this idea. While we're always interested in integrating with more banks, the most effective way to get a new feed established is for customers to request it directly from their bank. The more that SumUp hears from its own customers that a Xero integration for bank feeds is needed, the more likely they are to work with us to build one.
For now, you can manually import your SumUp transaction data into Xero using QIF, OFX, or CSV file types. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the Xero Central article below.
This idea is open for voting and comments, and we'll continue to keep an eye on the interest for this idea here.

Bank | Account transactions - Show Total of selected transactions
When manually reconciling a bank clearing account, you have to manually add up the credits that you have ticked to make sure that they add up to the debit that you are reconciling to.
It would be great if there was a figure showing the total of all items ticked.
It would work exactly the same as when preparing a batch payment in the Purchases module where the total of all bills ticked is shown at the top.
It would save SO MUCH time if we could have a similar total showing in the bank transactions screen - there can…23 votesHi everyone, we appreciate this idea has built some support overtime.
While we'll continue tracking interest in this here, being upfront developing the Account Transactions tab of a bank account to add a tally for the selected transaction amount is not in our short term plans.
That said, JAX may help with some related tasks. For example, try asking: “What is the total of the credits in my 'x' account for the current financial year?” or "Give me a total of all bills paid between [date range]" - You can adapt this by using the relevant account and date range.
We’ll continue to monitor interest in this idea and appreciate you sharing your feedback.

Auto Reconcile - Relocate Auto Reconcile toggle to Settings.
This is a big concern when there are business owners who don't understand the consequences of this feature if it is wrong. It is not tested and not trusted as far as I am concerned. It needs to be able to be removed from the reconcile screen.
It needs to be in the settings ONLY, not where it can be accidentally clicked or chosen with good intentions.22 votesHi Fiona and Annie, thanks for raising this here. Appreciate the need to move the feature to an area where it is accessed with intention and not accidentally. We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community and allow other users like yourself to share their thoughts. We'll monitor this space for more traction.
