Reconciliation - Allow credit notes to show and be selected on the find & match screen
Ability to show and can select credit notes on the find & match screen.
Purpose: To save time rather than having to go in and allocate the credit note against an invoice then going back to the bank reconciliation screen.
HI team, excited to come back and share that the ability to find & match credit notes when reconciling has now been released to all customers. 😊
When you reconcile a credit note, Xero records a payment transaction against the credit note but doesn’t allocate it to an individual invoice or bill. This is similar to the process to apply a cash refund, but you don’t need to create the cash refund first.
We fully appreciate the feedback here, and will carefully consider other avenues you'd like to see this feature and the selection of credit notes to extend to. We'll keep you updated of any developments of these through related ideas here in the forums (I've linked the ideas I previously shared as well as a couple of others that you can easily support and stay up to date on)
We'd like to give a shout out to everyone in this idea for supporting and staying engaged through with us on this feature, and helping us shape the future of Xero. Thank you

Absolutely shocking customer service!
Listen to your users needs and action. As a company you are only as good as your customers, disregard them and they will disregard you.
This is a basic accounting package feature. Act now or customers will look for alternatives. -

Am I the only one that finds the ideas we suggest as users - this and multi currency reporting are never something Xero are planning “at this time”. I would think if people who use the software are requesting it you would expect xero to at least look at it. However, they always seem to be sooo focussed on non essentials like changing reports!

Disappointing response which tells us nothing new. If there is a team focused on working to upgrade, why is something that has been requested for over ten years still only at the point where there are no plans....
Could you tell us why? -

Bonkers that this basic functionality is not on the roadmap.
The ability to replicate what your customer has done on their side when they reduce a payment against multiple invoices is fundamentally important to the client ledger reconciliation process...
The last several updates have added functionality around reporting that, to my mind is neither here nor there, while a basic and frequent accounting process step remains overly convoluted with no solution in sight after years on the request list!
Poor

This has been a request for years for Xero to sort out, and yet here we are being told its not happening AGAIN!
Very disappointed.

Dissapointing response from Xero - surely this should be an easy addition to make. :(

Extremely disappointing & frustrating that when paying customers in bulk payments that credit notes can not be included and shown on the remittance.

Thanks for finally putting a reply, however it is really disappointing. This is a basic feature available from other software providers and it is causing many of us issues from additional time allocating credit notes to having to explain statement and remittance differences. I would rather time was spent resolving this rather than the reporting features at this time.

Hi Kelly, thanks for your response - however your customers have been asking for this for many years, I've been with Xero now for 10 years and have been one of many asking for this change. Every time we get the same response that there are no plans for making this change. No doubt this thread will again be deleted an a new one will have to be created as this is a big issue for so many of us!

Disappointed that I have been requesting this feature for 12 years and my post on the old feature request section with over 500 votes no longer shows. Especially as it had got to the point that you removed the date on it as it was that old!

Fundamental functionality that is lacking. Should be a priority over new reports no one likes

This is crazy that Xero do not have this feature. Let’s do it Xero, make our lives easier pleaseeeeee

The biggest problem for us is that you can't produce a remittance advice for a supplier that shows the invoices and the credit notes separately. All they see is that we are part-paying an invoice or that an invoice is missing altogether, so they have to guess that we've allocated a credit note.

agreed. you don't necessarily want to allocate a credit note to a bill, but just want to reconcile it against the payment

Very disappointing that we are unable to pay multiple credit notes (over 100) via batch payment. Come on Xero this is not good enough.
