Bank Rules - Ability to import and export

Allow users the ability to import and export bank rules.

This would save time having to manually create similar bank rules in Xero, and ease with new client organisation setup

Hi community, thanks for your responses to our update and the continued interest this idea receives. We're keeping a watchful eye on the support this idea gathers.

As mentioned in my last update our immediate focus for now is delivering more automation and intelligent tools to help you reconcile faster.

However, we understand and appreciate the pain points shared through this idea and will move the status of this to Accepted as our product team look into more details around this and how we might plan this into the roadmap.

I'll keep you updated of any developments in this space.

    Silly question, but if you are short of resources (as the last sentence of your comment implies) then would it not have been better to use the resources you did have to implement something we are asking for, ie exporting and importing rules, rather than change things that no one really seems to have been asking for at all?

    Xero could be such a great product if only you could / would respond to user ideas and suggestions rather than seemingly persuing your own ideas that no-one seems to want / ask for.

    It's got to the stage where I've got ideas of how you could improve (ie like being able to duplicate a client or 'reset' a client - ie remove all accounting and / or contact data to 'start again' but I don't see the point in posting them as this time next year they'll still be getting considered!

    I've got an introduction meeting to our new account manager coming up so I'll 'vent' a little to him as well - not that it will do much good!

    I do not want AI to suggest a code to me! I deliberately turn off the 'suggest previous entries' as I want to know that if a code comes up then it is because I have made a judgement to set it to do so.
    I think AI should stand for 'artificial ignorance'!

    "We're also enhancing the suggestions and auto matching when you reconcile which overtime will help to decrease the amount of rules a business may need"

    Interesting. Looks like AI is slated to make Using your own Brain obsolete (what we once called "Bank Rules").

    This debate aside, here's a similar idea to exporting rules: -

    That the Bank Rule screen should show more information other than the name of the rule and the condition, such as - wait for it...key information on the output side eg 2 The Contact 3 Line Items (Account Code and Tax Rate) and 4 Set the Reference, so you could see AT A GLANCE what the rules do, without editing them one by one.

    But have no fear, I am not going to lose sleep on this and will leave this for a generation or two once Xero have sorted their "priority" ideas.

    What Carol Dufour said 😂

    sadly time wasted implanting this over what people actually wanted

  • Carol Dufour commented  ·   ·  Report

    whoopsie do! You've given us a search facility that we could already get to using control 'f'. So no movement on this then !!

  • Avi Ram commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is very important. if we migrate from other software, like QuickBooks , we should be able to import rules directly into XERO

  • Shehzaad Mohammed commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very critical and helpful for new customers just starting to use Xero. This would be a no-brainer to set up

  • Rachel Fisch commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a game-changer for our highly-niched firm as the vast majority of our bank rules are identical across our 200 clients.

  • Hitesh Halai commented  ·   ·  Report

    Other providers has it, xero can do this to save time. Awaiting this function........thanks

  • Vladimir Vanovac commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please add this function in Xero HQ so we can push to all or selected entities we manage. Thanks.

  • Santosh Sekar commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's insane that this isn't possible. I'd imagine it could be as simple as exporting / importing a CSV.

  • Jody Samuel commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would save a great deal of time if this feature was available

  • Jacob Salas commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this functionality ASAP, I work for a accounting firm that starts new clients all the time and this will save a tremendous amount of time. Thank you! JS

  • Yvette Cree commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please! My clients have similar bank rules abd it is so time consuming setting them up each time. Thank you.

  • Viona Gunawan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please, we really need feature to import bank rules to excel. I have hundreds of bank rules and it's hard to check which one is no longer valid. Thank you

  • PD Moua commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please make this happen. I'm shutting down one account to open another and I surely do not want to recreate all the bank rules, I and a Xero Pro, have created together, all over again. That is painful. I'd like to export all my current bank rules and import it into my new account.
