  1. When you are in cash coding it would be useful to be able to add an invoice to the line before it is reconciled.
    If clients do not use the bills function then attaching an invoice to a transaction is time consuming and fiddly.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that while there's no export option on the Account Transactions screen itself, it is possible to export a list of unreconciled Account Transactions with the Business Bank Account Reconciliation Summary report. If you export a copy of this to Excel you'll find the sections for Plus Outstanding Payments and Less Outstanding Receipts which are the unreconciled account transactions. Hope that helps 😊

  3. Cash Coding Discussion/Notes: When I'm cash coding transactions, it would be really helpful to access the discussions/notes on the cash coding screen. When I have a question about a transaction, I have to go find it in the account to write a note for review. It'd be great to do that straight from the cash coding screen.

  4. Ability to automatically reconcile Stripe payments on mobile app. Currently Xero automatically groups transactions for Stripe payments to be automatically reconciled on desktop, but the Android app does not select Stripe transactions for automatic reconciling.

  5. Bank items to reconcile list ability to toggle all items between 'discuss' and 'match' together as it is easy to miss if an item is showing as 'discuss' but client has uploaded a bill or invoice and it can now be matched

    Hi community, it’s been a while since our last update. Just wanted to share a quick status change and keep everyone in the loop.

    We’ve updated the idea on bank reconciliation workflows to Gaining support, so it’s easier for the community and the product team to track interest. The idea will stay open for votes and comments, so adding any extra context about your workflow and inviting others to share their experiences can help build a clearer picture of the need.

    We’ll let you know if anything changes as the idea progresses.

  6. My suggestion is different colors for New Spend Money and New Receive Money Tab so they are easy to differentiate. Even if the New Receive Money Tab could be a darker tone of the same color, it would really helpful and would still look good.

  7. It would be very useful to be able to generate a Bill when Reconciling, instead of just being able to "Spend Money". This would allow much better tracking of transactions, since money leaving an account via Spent Money is far less visible than when a Bill is paid.

    Specifically:

    When PayPal is enabled as a Payment Method, and a customer pays their Invoice this way, the associated PayPal account shows two entries in the Bank Feed ready for Reconciliation:
    1) A transaction fee is deducted from the PayPal account.
    2) The full amount of the payment into the PayPal account.

    Hi Faris, generally as a bill is received prior to payment so currently it's expected that the bill would already exist in Xero when reconciling. 

    Appreciate your example of where this could create efficiency and we'll get an idea of the support in this here. 🙂

    In the meantime, depending on your type of sales you may find an integration in our App Store that could serve by automatically creating the transactions in Xero. 

  8. To have the ability to restore the deleted account transaction

    Purpose: To save time rather than creating a new account transaction manually again.

    Hi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.

    Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.

    We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

  10. Ability to have custom text in the ‘set reference’ when setting up Bank Rules.

    Purpose: This will save users’ time when they’re doing reconciliation each week.

    Hi team, while we appreciate the interest this idea is slowly gaining we want to be open that this isn't a feature planned for the time being.

    We will continue to get a sense of the interest from the community around this and share if there are any changes to update you of.

  11. Add an option to remove and redo transactions within the find and recode function.

    Purpose: To simplify users’ workflow from having to recode to another code, or individually search each transaction in account transactions, then remove and redo it again.

    Hi everyone, there’s been plenty of great discussion around this idea, and we get how being able to copy bank rules would take a lot of repetition out of setup work.

    It’s something we’d like to make happen, but with other priorities in this space right now hasn't been something we can add to the roadmap yet.

    It may come to life as part of the ongoing improvements in the Bank Reconciliation area, and we'll defintiely let you know here if there's any progress.

  15. Adding an undo option when users are doing reconciliation in Xero.

    Purpose: Undo button will make users reinstate the transactions easily if they remove it by mistake.

    Understand wanting an update from us here, everyone. We’ve appreciate your feedback about applying bank rules and how the bank feed description is important to maintain when reconciling.

    While this isn’t in our direct pipeline at present this is a feature we'll consider as we evaluate improvements to bank rules in Xero. We’ll keep monitoring your comments here and update this thread with any development. Thank you for your valuable feedback!

  18. Ability to edit a bank account without having to delete the transaction and then re-enter it in the correct account.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the input that you’ve all contributed to this idea, and understand the extra work coding a bank transaction to the wrong account can create.

    To be upfront, this idea is currently Not in the pipeline. While we see the value this feature can bring, it's not something the product team is actively working on or planning in the near future.

    In the meantime, the current workflow using the Remove & Redo feature allows you to delete the transaction from the incorrect bank account and re-enter it in the correct one.

    We know this isn’t ideal, but it’s the most reliable option for now.

    We’ll continue to monitor votes on this idea. Your support helps us better understand where improvements are most needed.

  19. Ability to match multiple transactions to one invoice, then reconcile it.

    Purpose: It’ll save users’ time when they’re doing reconciliation and matching the transactions.
