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
Hello everyone, we appreciate all the support here and understand how being able to import and export bank rules would help with clean up, and save time in updating or adding bank rules.
The idea has been closely considered, however we want to be transparent that building this specific feature is not on our roadmap.
Our current focus within bank reconciliation is on delivering more automation and intelligent tools to help you reconcile faster. This includes improving the core functionality of how Xero suggests and matches transactions, ultimately aiming to reduce the need for manual rule creation and management.
We're confident that these broader improvements will help streamline your workflow and address some of the underlying pain points you've raised. We appreciate your passion and feedback on this topic, and you can stay up to date with what's coming for bank reconciliation and other features on The Long and Short of it. Thanks for being a part of our community.

Yes!
Really hard to keep a tidy Chart of Accounts when you can't archive accounts no longer used because there is a bank rule against it, but you can't find which rule to edit/delete without opening every single one!

I have a client with 225 rules and he allocates a lot of personal transactions using a rule to 880 Drawings (880 is locked so it can't be archived), the amounts need to go to his Beneficiary Loan Account but I don't want to open 225 rules to see which ones are being allocated to the drawings account. I also don't want to be clicking into each entry in his drawings transactions to see which ones have a rule in place. A simple export of the details of the rule would be helpful and also if we can click one button to sort A-Z for the name of the rule as he has multiple rules for some with similar names.

It would help a load when I need to delete or clear Bank Rules as we have hundreds and it is really difficult to page through them to decide which need to be deleted.
