Enter your idea

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 ( https://innovations.xero.com/ ). Thanks for being a part of our community.

Hi community, sometime on since my last post we wanted to provide an update for your all here and appreciate the continued attention this idea is receiving.

We want to be upfront that at this time focuses for the team are in other areas of bank reconciliation and we don’t have any current plans for developing the ability to import and export bank rules from an organisation.

We understand and know this is important to everyone that has voted for the idea and will continue to review and pay close attention to the feedback and votes here. When there is more opportunity for the team to refocus efforts here we will keep you informed of any progress.

Thanks for all the attention and support this idea has collected, everyone. While we’ve made improvements to some of the screens in Bank Rules, we’re still considering where others changes could be made, and it’s helpful to see the traction on this idea.

With the new Bank Rules list view you’ll find that you can now Search ( https://central.xero.com/s/article/About-bank-rules#Orderingandsearchingbankrules ) making it a little easier to group and manage your rules from within Xero. 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.

We understand how being able to export rules would add another level to managing rules outside of Xero, and importing of rules would ease setups and we’ll keep this idea front of mind and re-evaluate the interest when resource frees up to consider additional features.
