Chart of Accounts - Increase "Bank Account Number" Limit
Chart of Accounts - Increase "Bank Account Number" Limit
Currently the account number is limited to 20 characters.
A International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the standard for bank account numbers in Europe. I can be as much as 34 characters long.
Please extend the length of the Bank Account Number to 34 characters.

Lock dates for time entries in xero projects
We're currently using xero projects a lot and something that happens fairly regularly is staff posting time entries into finalised periods. I.e. we have run reports and finalised an accounting period and then there have been later changes in those periods in xero projects. It would be good to be able to lock periods in xero projects as we do with financial informtation in xero.

Find and Recode - Find by Item Code
Add an option to find all transactions by Item Code
Example: I recently had a client who put the wrong sales accounts on some of their inventory items but had been making sales transactions for 14 months without noticing. The P&L did not accurately reflect the sales of the actual inventory categories because of this.
There is currently no ability to find all the transactions by inventory item code to quickly recode the original transactions.
The work around is painful for 1000's of sales - Run a report on transactions by item code, save to excel, add a column for…

Banking - Recognise bank account "Spaces" or "Pots" eg Starling, Monzo etc
Recognising Bank Account "Spaces" or "Pots" eg Starling, Monzo etc
Most modern banks are now providing this extremely useful facility, so it would make sense for Xero to incorporate recognising these kind of transactions please (rather than us having to manually enter fake transactions to move them out of the bank account.
Xero currently doesn’t show/cope with moving money around Spaces within a bank account?Come on guys, loads of banks are going towards this kind of functionality!
We can even pay DDs right from a Space.Pls can you add maybe “sub-accounts” indented underneath each Bank account to show where…

Bank Account - Add 'Reconciled By' column and filter to Reconciled Transactions
I'm just exploring the new "Reconciled Transactions" page and was just thinking how great it would be if, in addition to the "Method" column, there was something like a "Reconciler" column which would show which user reconciled the transaction. This would also be great as a you only want to review the transactions reconciled by a particular user, e.g., the client as an accountant or the owner of the file might like to review a bookkeeper's reconciling. Or even just to see who is the predominant reconciler would make this feature extremely helpful.
21 votesThanks for letting us know what changes matter most to you! Your idea is now in the hands of the community.
Now is a great time to share the post with your team and colleagues to gather more votes. We’ve also opened up the comments so others can chime in on how your suggestion would make their experience with Xero even better.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to make bank rec turn green even when there's something in discuss tab
Find and match on bank rec to still go green when there is an entry on the discuss tab.
Currently the right hand side of the bank rec will only turn green if there is a possible match and nothing in the discuss tab. If there is something in the discuss tab it will not turn green even if there is a match.
It would be great if the border of the box still turned green whilst displaying the comment to indicate that there is a possible match to allow the user to review and ok the transaction.

Bank Feeds - Automatic feed for Swiss banks
To establish bank feeds for Swiss banks in Xero.
Purpose: To save users time from having to manually import the statements from Swiss banks into Xero.
21 votesHi everyone, it's helpful to know that having bank feeds available for banks based in Switzerland is important to you.
You can view a full list of direct bank feeds available in your region here. As some of you have noted, if your bank does not currently have a feed available, the best option for now is to manually import your bank statements into Xero. This will help you keep your accounts up-to-date. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Xero Central article here: Import a bank statement.
Another way you can help is by letting your specific banks know that you’d like to see them integrate with Xero. We've found that banks are more likely to prioritise building a feed when they hear directly from their own customers. They can get in touch with our team to start the process here: Register your…

Bank rules - Run this rule on 'selected' bank accounts, instead of all or just one
It would be great to have the option when creating a bank rule to tick the bank accounts to run the rule on, as opposed to having ALL or just one. We often need to run the rule on say three of the five bank accounts, and are forced to set up three identical bank rules just so we can select each account, as we don't want to run the rule on all five accounts. This is particularly prevalent when using tracking categories. Some entities have different bank accounts for different areas of their business and when coding we'd like…

Bank Reconciliation Find & Match - search for multiple invoices
Find & Match function under Bank Reconciliation only allows to search for individual invoices to then pick invoices one by one. Please introduce the option to enter multiple invoices in the search field using a delimiter to then pick multiple invoices to reconcile. This would improve the reconciliation process materially.

Reconciliation - Notify users when there are new entries in Discuss tab
the discussion tab in bank reconciliation is a wonderful tool to communicate issues encountered in doing bank reconciliations. What would make it better would be if there is an option to notify specific users when a new entry or response has been entered in the tab. This would increase productivity for service providers and allow their clients to respond quicker to queries from their service provider

Bank feed - FNB South Africa
Bank feed interruptions - First National Bank is causing huge delays and back log of work piling up. I've not been able to connect or refresh clients bank feeds since mid Feb. This is really an ongoing issue.
19 votesHi everyone, we appreciate sharing on the interest for this feed with us here. We'd like to let you know we're working on a feed for First National Bank in South Africa at present. 🙂
I look forward to updating you here once it's live.

Hey everyone! The ability to manually refresh your bank feed really depends on the type of connection you have. For many banks connected via Yodlee, you can already give the feed a nudge and refresh it manually within Xero when you're ready to reconcile. Some of our direct API connections also support this, with a few even importing transactions in near real-time.
As this feature is only available on some feeds, we've moved this idea's status to 'Gaining Support' to align with our new statuses for Xero Product ideas. You can read more about this on our blog.
While building a manual refresh option for every feed type is not on our immediate roadmap, we're keeping a close eye on your votes and comments to help us gauge demand for future work.

Find & Recode - Ability to bulk update exchange rate of multiple transactions
Batch change exchange rate
Currently, once a receipt has been entered the only way to change the exchange rate is to go into each individual transaction and edit transaction->change the exchange rate. I have a situation where i have hundreds of transactions that have been allocated the XE.com rate, but i would like those transaction to have the user defined rate. Also in receipts entered using the iOS app will use the XE.com rate even if there is a user defined rate set in settings.
I would like a feature like "find and recode" so i can filter for all…19 votes -
Westpac Foreign Currency Feeds (AU)
Ability to set up bank feeds for foreign currency Westpac accounts. For those that bank with Westpac in Australia
19 votesThanks for sharing your feedback and votes for adding Westpac foreign currency account feeds, community.
While a direct feed isn't currently available for these accounts, you can still keep up-to-date in Xero by manually importing your transactions.
Just to give you a bit of insight into how these feeds are built – we rely on our banking partners to make specific account types available to us. The best way to get this on Westpac's radar is for them to hear directly from you, so we encourage you to reach out to them and request support for foreign currency account bank feeds.
For this reason, we're unable to say if or when feeds might be available for these accounts, but we'll continue to keep an eye on the support for this idea, and let you know if there are any changes in this area.

Xero Accounting app - Bank reconciliation - allow foreign currency payments to be reconciled
Xero allows invoices to be created in a foreign currency (with the premium subscription plan) but when clients make these payments (which get converted to the base currency) they are not able to be reconciled in the Xero app as both the currency and amount are different so they don’t match.
On the web, there is an option that can be unchecked to show foreign currency items, which then allows the payment to be reconciled. In my case it is ‘show NZD items only’.
A similar item would ideally be added to the Xero app so those paid in a…

Reconcile - Create transaction without generating a new contact
Currently a new supplier is created in your contact list every time a transaction is made which results in too many contacts considering there could be very small items of spend at multiple stores on card etc. I only want to see key repeating suppliers in my contact list.
19 votesHi team, the Payable Invoice reports will generally help you zone into your top repeating suppliers and better view activity.
As suggested, if multiple contacts of a similar nature are being created merge may also help you manage these in your contacts list.
It'd be good to understand if there are other needs that this idea would help you with here - please do share any detail.

Account Transactions Report - View bank statement particulars on the report instead of transactions detail
I would imagine many Xero files have at some time had a person going click happy with the OK button on the dashboard and reconciling to the incorrect entry.
By simply adding a column to choose Bank Statement Particulars in the Account Transactions report we could visually see easily if lines were reconciled to the wrong entry. This is not creating a new report but simply adding access to another column.18 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a way to view original bank statement details directly within the Account Transactions report to make auditing and reconciliation easier.
Having bank particulars visible alongside ledger data could help you quickly verify entries without needing to switch between reports or screens.
We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.

Bank Feeds - BNZ feed to be 7 days, not just Tuesday-Saturday
Now that NZ has 7 days transactional banking by all banks, can BNZ who is only providing Xero with bank feeds Tuesday- Saturday, (per Xero support) now send Monday- Saturday, so Saturday/Sunday transactions can be reconciled Monday's and information be up to date.
18 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on the frequency of the BNZ bank feed. We understand that getting timely transaction data is crucial for keeping your accounts up-to-date.
The way the direct feed from BNZ is currently set up means that transactions made over weekends and public holidays are sent through to us on the following business day. This is why you'll typically see these transactions appear in Xero on a Tuesday.
We will keep this idea open for the community to continue voting on. Your votes help us, and our banking partners like BNZ, to gauge demand and prioritise these potential improvements. We’ll be sure to post an update here if there’s any news to share.

Bank Reconciliation - reconcile transactions for multiple bank accounts at a time
I'd like the Reconcile pages to allow me to select some all of my bank accounts to display. This would aggregate the unreconciled statement lines and display them all in date order to be reconciled all the same time.
Reason 1: Convenience. I use several bank accounts and would prefer to reconcile all of the transactions in one go.
Reason 2: Error reduction. The most common error I see relating my clients' bank balances is their misuse of Transfer (setting the wrong account, using it for accounts that aren't linked etc.). If they could see both accounts and therefore both…

Cash Coding - Ability to attach file
It would be nice to have the option to attach files when using cash coding on the bank. To attach a file, I have to go back to the bank recon tab, find the entry and then attach the file. This wastes a lot of time. A small attach file icon or the option to attach a file on the drop-down will save a lot of time.
