  1. Hi Xero,

    For NZ, could we have a investment boost column for the deprecation schedule. This could be a 20% amount or no claim, or a yes/no?

    This would make it easier when reviewing assets to see what new assets have been claimed under the incentive.

    Regards
    Brendan

    Hi Natascha,

    Thanks for submitting your idea and highlighting what matters most to you.

    We’ve reviewed it, and it’s now open for community support. Feel free to share it with colleagues who may benefit so they can vote as well!

    Others can also comment to add context and explain how this enhancement would improve their Xero experience ☺️

  2. An import template for importing bank spend and receive money transactions. Now that Datadear is longer available for Xero clients as an app there is no way to import bank transactions

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the support we've received through this idea. Without beating around the bush we don't have any short term plans for enabling the import of spend and receive money transactions. This may be something we look into further down the track so we'll continue to track and review the idea here.

    For Xero Partners you could look to use the Conversion toolbox to import bank transactions for your clients.

  3. For accounts where transactions are posted and then additional transactions clear those transactions it would be great to have a reconciliation feature where these can be matched off (only when they net to zero). The the remaining unmatched transactions make up the account balance. This would save us hours each month.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this idea. This might be useful for situations such as suspense accounts, where entries are intended to net each other off.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Hi everyone ✨

    Thanks for continuing to share your feedback on this idea. We’ve seen a lot of interest in having more detailed filters in Bank Reconciliation, including separate fields for Spent and Received amounts, and for Bill Numbers and Invoice Numbers 😊

    We understand how clearer filtering would make it easier to review transactions, track activity, and find the right items faster when reconciling.

    We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add comments. The more detail we can gather on the situations where this would help most, the better this helps our team understand the impact and prioritise future improvements ✨

    We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we have them.

  5. When reconciling bank transactions in Blue Xero, the "Split" option is currently only available at the individual transaction level in the "1. Find & select matching transactions" section.

    It would be much more efficient if the "Split" option were also available in the "2. View your selected transactions" section. This would allow users to first select all invoices or bills that form part of a single payment, and then apply the split at that point, rather than needing to split each invoice or bill individually.

    Additionally, if an invoice is selected without being split and the user moves on to…

    Hi Natascha thanks for raising this here. Appreciate the need for having Split payment available on both steps. We're moving this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll monitor this space for more traction. You can now share this idea with your friends and colleagues so they can add their vote too.

  6. I think we should be able to create with a loan schedule with interest rates, term and amortization instead of having to manually enter the transaction.

  7. Ability to have custom text in the ‘set reference’ when setting up Bank Rules.

    Purpose: This will save users’ time when they’re doing reconciliation each week.

    Hi team, while we appreciate the interest this idea is slowly gaining we want to be open that this isn't a feature planned for the time being.

    We will continue to get a sense of the interest from the community around this and share if there are any changes to update you of.

  8. Please please please Xero can you work on a proper Square bank feed integration so we don't have to keep using Amaka or other 3rd party connection apps!!!
    Why can't we connect Square as a bank account with a feed similar to Stripe?!?! We are in 2024, square has been around for 15years!!

    I have so many issues with Square! And it is one of the most widely used payment processors!

    A recent example -
    A client has a coffee van and uses it to take payments for cups of coffee. I had to setup the Amaka integration so that…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on a direct bank feed for Square. We understand that using a third-party integration isn't always seamless and that a direct feed, like the one for Stripe, would make life easier when reconciling your payments.

    As noted by others here, the current solution is to connect an app from the Xero App Store to bring your Square transactions into Xero, or you can continue to manually import these. 

    Right now, building a direct bank feed for Square isn’t in our plans. We're continuing to monitor the interest in this idea, so please keep adding your votes and comments as it helps us see the demand.

    Thanks for sharing this idea 🌟 We can see how an extra confirmation step before deleting a transaction could help prevent accidental deletions and give users more confidence when making changes.

    We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would value this and the different scenarios where it would be most useful. If this would make a difference for your workflow, please keep the votes and examples coming as they help our product team assess the impact.

    We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we learn more.

  10. Improve the sorting functionality within the Cash Coding screen to sort by Account. When I review the transactions (esp ones that have rules) it's difficult to assess if they've been categorized correctly and might need changes.

    Additional ask would be to improve the sort logic that already exists. When you sort by Description it should show A-Z and then blanks at the bottom, or Z-A with blanks at the start. But you can see in the screenshot it's sorted by Description but one transaction is floating in the middle of blanks...why?

    Hi everyone! thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea with us! We really appreciate you flagging that the sorting function on cash coding isn't quite sorting the blanks first, but instead is just going straight from ascending to descending by date (or vice versa). We are moving this idea over now so it can gather more support from the rest of the community. Please feel free to share it with any of your peers who would also love to see this feature implemented.

    We'll be keeping a close eye on this space in the meantime. Thanks again for your valuable input.

  11. The lock date feature is great for preventing back posting as a whole but we would benefit from a lock feature for specific nominal accounts - to prevent colleagues posting to a specific account until dates are unlocked.

    Hi team, thank you for adding your support to this idea. We understand how having the ability to lock individual accounts could help in preventing transactions being posted to specific accounts and accidental posting that can impact your reports.

    While this is something we'd like to continue tracking we want to be upfront that we don't have any development to accommodate this need planned in the short term.

    I will make sure to share if there is news for you here.

  12. We have standing orders set up for multiple properties for water rates, business rates, electricity and rent all of which are invoiced quarterly/six monthly/annually.

    Can we have the ability to create bank rules for supplier overpayments to a contact??

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea about creating bank rules for supplier overpayments. 💙 We appreciate you explaining how this could help save time when regular payments are made before bills are received or when amounts don’t match.

    This idea is now open for community support through votes and comments. If you’d find this useful, please add your vote and share how you’d use this functionality, including any examples from your own workflow.

    We’ll keep an eye on the feedback and engagement this receives. Thanks again for helping us understand which improvements would make the biggest difference.

    Hi team, sorry it's taken so long for us to return to the idea here.

    I appreciate the feedback from my last update where I suggested lock dates as an option and hear why this isn't a viable option for some.

    If you're based in the US or CA you may want to check out our newer feature 'Reconcile period' that enables you to reconcile and close period within each bank account.

    It'd be good to hear if users from other regions in this idea believe reconcile period would resolve what you're after here and I can merge in to this idea where we're continuing to track interest for expanding this feature to other region. Thanks

    Hi David, appreciate you sharing your idea with us here. To get more understanding, can you share why you'd like to be able to download a bank statement that's being imported to Xero versus retrieving this from your banking portal?

  15. Overpayments should appear in the Find & Match for Customers.
    If a customer pays their correct amount owing, but an overpayment on their account hasn't been allocated against an invoice, it is impossible to reconcile.
    Users have to go into Contacts, check if there is an overpayment, allocate the overpayment against an invoice then go back into the Bank Reconciliation page.
    Users should be able to tick the invoices being paid and the overpayment that was used to reconcile in Find & Match.

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate the interest and sharing how this feature would be beneficial to you here.

    As you may have seen when reconciling or through other updates, we have introduced credit notes into the reconcile experience where you can now find and select credit notes directly from the Find & Match screen.

    We understand there are other transactions types our customer would like this functionality extended to and are continuing to consider how we may expand this overtime.

    We will share further any further updates around this with you here. Thanks

  16. Some of our customers are paying upwards of 100 invoices at one time. The ability to import a csv into Xero (that can be extracted from the remittance advice provided from the customer) would save a lot of processing time instead of manually using the Find & Match feature in the bank rec screen.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea, everyone.

    We’ve recently introduced a feature that may help with some of the needs raised here, and we’d be really interested to hear whether it’s useful for your workflow.

    Many organisations now have access to Smart Document Capture, with the rollout still continuing across regions. This feature allows you to upload files into Xero, review the extracted information, and create transactions from those documents, including spend and receive money transactions.

    You may also find importing a pre-coded CSV bank statement helpful, particularly if your organisation doesn’t have a bank feed available.

    To be transparent, we don’t currently have plans to support importing received payments. That said, we’d encourage you to try these features and let us know here how they work for you, and whether there are still gaps for your use case.

  17. There are often periodic top up payments for accounts (e.g. Tolls) and a periodic statement provided after the fact.

    It would be useful to be able to set up a bank rule to apply these and reconcile the prepayments as the statements come in.

    Hey all, we really appreciate you joining in this conversation and adding your votes.

    We've reviewed this idea, and now it's up to the wider community to get behind it.

    You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can also add their votes and comments to support it.

  18. If you have multiple invoices for the same client, a feature that allows you the option to automatically apply bank transactions receiving money from the client to the oldest invoices first moving closer to date would be mighty helpful. At the current moment, we have to manually split out each transaction to the invoices when reconciling bank transactions; it stands to reason that if you have a client with multiple invoices and they pay off in chunks, you would want to apply payments to their oldest debt first; having this as a selectable option for a contact / bank rule…

    Hi everyone, thanks for keeping this conversation going and sharing your workflows. It has been awhile since this was raised, so we just wanted to refresh the status.

    We understand you’re looking for payments in bank reconciliation to automatically match against the oldest outstanding invoices first, given that other details are relevant.

    Having more control over the matching order could make payment allocation easier for businesses managing a high volume of invoices.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, so please share your suggestion and use case for this feature.

    Hi team, while we appreciate the support here we want to be open that we don't have any plans for introducing the ability to undo or reverse a find & recode that has been performed. We appreciate the impact using the feature can have which is why it is currently only available to users with the Advisor role and we also suggest checking in with your adviser before making use of this feature.

  20. 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…

    Hi 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
