Automatic bank statement
It would be nice to have automatic bank statement transfers, as a customer why I got Xero is to spend less time with these manual things and let my bookeeper handle everything. But now I still have to manually email 10 statements a month to Hubdoc and that is still precious time lost on things I hate to do
1 voteHi Iadan, I'd recommend connecting with your Bookkeeper to see if bank feeds could automate this process for you.
As suggested (thank Anthony!) Xero connects to many banks and can automate the import of bank statements with bank feeds.
They can reach out to our Xero Support team through Xero Central if they need a hand.

Chart of Accounts - Import new accounts from csv
Please give the option to import a list of new accounts to add to the existing Chart of Accounts.
We have created a new department with a couple dozen new accounts.
I'd like to be able to upload from a csv file rather than entering one by one manually since I already have the listed in a spreadsheet.
Currently, the only option is to reimport the entire Chart of Accounts with the new accounts added to the list. To me that is an unnecessary risk of overwriting hundreds of existing accounts.5 votesAppreciate your interest in this idea, team. I want to confirm that it's possible to import multiple new accounts to your existing chart of accounts through the use of a CSV import.
You'll want to export your existing chart of accounts, where you can add the new ones to the sheet. Save this as CSV, then re-import to your organisation - We have information on importing to your chart of accounts here, and you can test in the demo company if you'd like to try this out and view the results first.

Bank Reconciliation - Navigate to top of page when moving between page
When Reconciling a large bank feed It would be good if the page went back to the top so that we did not have to scroll up every time.
At the moment when you get to the bottom and page forward it stays at the bottom of that screen3 votesHi team, rounding back to this idea and testing, it appears this actually may have been resolved when we released updates to Search and Filter within the Reconcile screen.
Now, when you scroll to the bottom of the page, and navigate between pages of statement lines you'll automatically be taken to the top of the following page.
If this is not the behaviour you're experiencing we'd recommend connecting with our specialists at Xero Support for a closer look in. Thanks!

Reconciliation - Manually mark as reconciled multiple items at a time
There are some cases where banks do not have feeds available and the items posted as received or paid from these banks must be reconciled on an individual basis which takes a lot of time!
We need a reconcile all or a tick box system down the left hand side to be speed this reconciliation process up. I have many clients with these manual banks and it's extremely time consuming marking everything individually as reconciled.15 votesHi team, this is already possible. However you'll need to enable the mark as reconciled option on the Account Transactions tab of the bank account. If you click on the '?' icon in the top right of the blue banner you'll see an option to switch this on. Once turned on you can check the lines you need and select the More option where you'll be able to bulk Mark as Reconciled or Unreconciled. 😊

History & notes - chart of accounts
It would be great (if not already available - I can't find it) to get an audit report whereby we can see changes made to a set of accounts after they have been submitted.
4 votesHi community, we have now released a change to the History & notes report so you can view changes to the Name or Type of an Account on screen, without having to click into the line of the report. This includes where you have updated chart of accounts via an import.
Thanks for sharing and feeding back what would help you working with Xero, here.

Upload files to a chart of account code
Upload files to an account code in the chart of accounts, rather than to a transaction or a contact. Thinking in particular for lease and loan schedules and calculations, breakdown of accruals / prepayments, pdf bank statements to bank accounts.
1 voteHey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
Simply click on the figure in the YTD column on the chart of accounts screen and it opens a detail page with the file upload button on it.
Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us to continue shaping the future of reports here at Xero.

Chart of accounts - Ability to use a - not a in codes
Codes are set up as ***-yy which isn't logical to type. I guess it's an accounting convention but I can type 501.50 much easier (one hand on the numeric keypad and no need to move it to the'-') than 501-50.
For non-accountants, and IT people 501.50 is the logical way to type and enter these codes.
2 votesHi Kevin, you can use symbols including '-' or '.' when setting up your chart of account codes. This applies when importing or adding a singular account within Xero. If you need any help with this I'd recommend connecting with our specialists at Xero Support who can get more information to help with your org.

As a quick recap of what's been released - From the Reconcile page your bank account now shows up to 50 statement lines at once.

Bank Reconciliation - Reconcile against Statement
We would like the ability to reconcile transactions against a statement in addition to just reconciling from the bank feeds.
There have been so many issues with bank feeds, that often we find the statement balance does not match Xero. The issue with running the reconciliation report is that some banks will have some transactions from the closing date in the current statement and some of them on the next statement. The only way for us to break it out and match the balance is to export transactions to a spreadsheet and then change the date of those transactions in…
80 votesHey everyone, thanks for your patience! We're excited to announce that period reconciliation is now available for all US and CA organizations.
As per my last update, you'll find a new "Reconcile Period" tab within your bank accounts. If you have the Standard or Advisor role, you can easily enter the statement period dates and balances. Xero will then automatically display and select all transactions within that timeframe. Once you've reconciled the period, you can close it to ensure no transactions are accidentally deleted or unreconciled.
We know that many of you in other regions are also keen to access this feature. So we can track this separately, I've created a new idea and have added all users that had voted here (outside of CA and US) to. If there are any updates we will share news with you all there.
Thanks for your feedback!

Bank Reconciliation - Sort and Filter
Add Sort and Filter to the Main reconciliation screen.
582 votesHi team, back again to let everyone know that the recent changes in Bank Reconciliation page have now been rolled out to 100% of users. 🎉
As mentioned in my last update this includes a bar at the top of the page so you can search and filter statement lines based on your preferred criteria, and the options to the right side of the Search enable you to set a date or amount range to help filter down your view.😁 You now also have the ability to view up to 50 unreconciled statement lines on one page - See our blog for more recent updates
We thank you all for your contributions in this idea. I know there are some that are interested in still seeing the ability to sort from this view, and I wanted to share the new idea that's been raised where we'll begin to track this…

Bank Feed - Better Identification of Bank Institutions
When searching for a bank institution, you all should allow for searches for the bank URL home page and also include a logo of the bank with each institution. For example, 'First Bank' has 40 different institutions and each sound similar to the next. Please consider creating better identifiers for each bank institution Xero integrates with. (QBO does this)
13 votesHey everyone, great news on this one! You can now enter your bank's website address (URL) right into the search field. It's a handy way to help you pinpoint the exact bank you need and get your feed connected.
While logos don't appear on the search screen itself, you will see that for many banks, their logo will pop up on your dashboard once the account is connected.
Thanks for all your engagement on this idea!

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to search Unreconciled status under 'Bank statement' tab
Under Bank Statements, you should be able to search all records with an Unreconciled Status. When you Search and select "Unreconciled" in the search bar, you still get ALL records -- reconciled and not.
31 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for bearing with us on this one! We know you've been waiting for an update, and while we haven't directly responded until now, please know that your feedback on this was absolutely shared with our product team.
We're really pleased to let you know that we've now released a fix for this! The filter for reconciliation status will now apply correctly on the Bank Statement or Account transaction pages of a bank account.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and helping us improve Xero – we genuinely appreciate your feedback here.

Bank Feeds - In-app alerts for current and historic outages
If Xero or a partner organisation should encounter issues which may lead to data integrity issues, we should receive an email alert or some kind of notification.
e.g. issues with Bank Feeds whereby there are duplicate or missing transactions. This has occurred a few times and we have only discovered, retrospectively, about the issue.We don't use Xero each day and certainly don't visit the Status page every day, such issues may well not come to light... by the time we visit the Status page a problem is quite likely to have been resolved and the status shows as OK,…
9 votesHey team 👋 We're thrilled to announce a change that we've made that addresses your idea here. We've added notices for bank feed disruptions directly on the Bank Accounts widget on your Xero Dashboard!
If there's a known issue, we'll tell you about it right then and there, allowing you to plan your day accordingly and know when to be extra vigilant with your reconciliation. We're also considering expanding this feature to include a wider range of real-time disruption alerts in the future.
We thank everyone who contributed to this idea and shared your experiences. Your feedback is what drives improvements like this. 🙂

New Bank Reconciliation report - Include note for foreign currency exchange
Exchange rate on bank reconciliation report
For foreign currency bank accounts, the old bank reconciliation report used to include a note stating that the exchange rate per xe.com that was used to translate the bank balance to the home currency at the report date. This was very useful information to include, as it confirmed the rate and the source of where that rate was obtained. This is not included on the new format bank reconciliation report pack. Please could this note be brought back on the new format reports?7 votesHi community, apologies we've not returned to this sooner. Pleased to share that foreign currency disclosures are now available in the Bank Reconciliation Summary report.

Bank Reconciliation - Remove imported statement balance
Bank Reconciliation
Remove the Imported Statement Balance as at best it does not work at all and at worst it imports the wrong value, which is very upsetting for clients.
7 votesHi everyone, sorry we've not updated you again sooner on this. With the new Bank Reconciliation Summary report you'll find there is now an option from the 'More' button at the top of the page to uncheck the 'Imported Statement balance' which will then hide this from the report. 🙂

Navigation | Bank Rules - Add to Accounting menu
Add Bank Rules as an option to Accounting/Advanced options.
Much easier to navigate via Accounting dropdown menu than via Bank Accounts, eg when recoding transactions usually need to update a rule as well
6 votesHi community, we're pleased to share that Bank Rules are now an option directly from the Accounting menu within our new navigation experience. 😊
Ideas from the forum here were taken into consideration when planning changes and upgrading this navigation experience and we really appreciate your feedback in helping us develop Xero for our customers. 🙏

Bank Account | Imported statement balance - Ability to edit
In the case of no transaction in a bank account, we can't import a blank CSV and so the statement balance date stays the date of the last import transaction.
I wish that we could modify the statement balance date to today's date even if no transaction occurred since the last import.
12 votesHi team, back again to confirm that this has now been rolled out to all regions.
As note in my last update the new Bank Reconciliation Summary report now gives you the ability to enter a Bank statement ending balance.
If you don't have an imported statement balance or the imported statement balance doesn't match your actual bank statement you can enter an amount and Xero will calculate the balance out by based on your input.

Banking | Account transactions - Show attached files
Whilst reconciling bank transactions it is often useful to look at the account transactions tab. When doing so it would be really nice to see the files link as an entry so you can easily see the transactions associated with a bank transaction
16 votesHi everyone, I wanted to share that the file icon will show against all Account Transactions that have been created with an attachment 📂. Clicking on this icon will allow you to quickly preview the attachments. Invoice/Bill payment transactions will show the file icon when files have been attached to the payment transaction. As this is an Account Transactions list only, to see if the individual invoices/bills have attachments, you can head to the invoice/bills lists.
A separate idea has been raised for the Account Transactions Report to Show Files icon & number attached which you can add your vote to if that’s something else you’d like to see.

Bank Reconciliation | Reconcile with statement amount at given date
I would like to complete a 'proper' bank reconciliation.
To be able to enter a figure from a bank statement and have xero compare that to the bank figure in xero for the same date. This feature is available in the package with the very annoying tv adverts and in old school sage.8 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for supporting this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
Our new bank reconciliation reports allow you to manually enter the closing balance of your account for a set date at the top of the report. This then shows in the report as the bank statement ending balance.
For more information check out our Bank Reconciliation reports support article 😊
