Reconciliation | Account transactions - Change terminology for payments
On the bank account transactions pages, when someone has paid one of my invoices, it displays as 'Payment: Joe Bloggs', it should display as 'Receipt: Joe Bloggs' as i have received the monies not paid them.
7 votesThanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Payments" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.
We get that using clearer terms like "Receipt" or "Payment Received" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through allocation of payments on an invoice.
Right now, this idea’s open for feedback and support, so feel free to keep voting and sharing how a change like this could help in your day-to-day.

Cash Coding - Bulk assign expenses to Projects
Assign multiple transactions to a project in cash coding. There should also be a projects field on the main page, rather than having to go to "add details>assign to project>search for project>click project>click ok>click reconcile".
As with many travelling workers, many of my transactions for a trip are all bunched together and it would save me so much on bookkeeping time and fees to be able to select multiple statement lines or transactions and "assign all" in one click. Under cash coding makes sense because the checkbox already exists for each line, Projects just becomes another column.

Smarter Intercompany Reconciliation
I work with multiple entities that have frequent intercompany transactions. A dedicated Intercompany Reconciliation Workspace that automatically matches reciprocal transactions across Xero organizations would significantly reduce manual work and improve month-end closing efficiency.

Reconciliation - menu to jump to next account to reconcile
When in a bank account and want to reconcile another bank bank account, it would be really handy from the drop down where we can choose the next bank account to go to, if the number of unreconciled items could also be visible within next to the name of the bank account.
This stops going back to the homepage to see which account to go into next to reconcile.

Bank reconciliation: add transaction default contact
During bank reconciliation we deal with many customers that slightly over/underpay their invoices, which makes it necessary for us to create overpayments often.
Suggestion: when a payment is partially matched during reconciliation (the user has checked one or more invoices to match with the same contact) and the user selects 'New Transaction' to allocate the remainder, Xero should prefill the contact field with the same contact that the user has already matched.
Reason: Xero makes it a bit too easy to accidentally create new contacts when a user types into the contact field, sees the correct contact showing, but does…1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Bank | Reconcile period - Ability to delete draft period
Thanks for adding this feature. I'm trying it and I noticed that if you copy and paste a value with a $ in it, it will not paste properly. Sometimes when you copy paste opening or closing balances from PDF it copies including the dollar sign.
Please allow to paste the value with the $ in it.
Also, there doesnt seem to be any way of deleting a draft period. Please consider adding a small garbage bin icon in the period list and inside the period.
Thanks!
31 votesHi community, we appreciate the support this idea is starting to gain. Our product teams are considering this idea among other improvements as they plan their roadmap and I'll update here if there's progress.
For the time being, you can change the dates to essentially reset this to the period you want to reconcile.
To open the period in an editable state from the 'All periods' list:
- Select the "Continue" button on a draft period, or
- Select "Edit" on a locked period, then "Continue" in the modal to unlock it
From there select the 'Edit date range' button in the top right hand side and change the dates to the period you want to work on. You can also click into the "Opening statement balance" and "Closing statement balance" fields to update these.

Improving Auto-Reconciliation Functionality
Just a few ideas our team has come up with from testing out the system on our accounts:
Incrementing the Reference Number - Each of our transactions uses a unique reference number and has a different pre-fix on each account we use Xero for, it should be possible for Xero to detect this and increment it by one for each transaction that the auto-reconciliation handles.
Interaction between the auto-reconciliation and other apps, i.e. Dext - We use Dext to provide information and upload photos of receipts and invoices for transactions; there should be a way to enable the auto-reconciliation to…

Auto reconciliation - Reconcile only when all fields match
The auto reconciliation feature in Beta is great but it would be appreciated if you could tailor what to reconciliation. Eg only auto process things that match not create new invoices (from memory). We need to upload tax invoices on all purchases, by auto creating it is skipping this important step. If people have already uploaded (via expenses) then its ok.

auto reconcile
Identify key references such as client code, invoice reference and client name when matching to invoices. Clearly the focus is currently on amount only and we are continually undoing clear mis-matches. If a receipt comes from a client names as a customer, it should never be auto-reconciled to another customer name. Especially where they include the client code or invoice within the reference.
This should be an easy fix initially to remove the first issue while improving the process for the references noted.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to change statement lines' date
Hi Xero,
When doing bank reconciliations, we often have to change the dates on rec lines.
It would save so much time if you did not have to click into the transaction to change the date.Likewise, in cash coding - You can change every other detail except the date, meaning you have to go back into individual transactions
Have attached screenshots.
2 votesHi Natalie, thanks for sharing your feedback here.
We can see how having the ability to edit the date on a bank statement line could help in situations where the bank processing date differs from the date you need for your reconciliation workflow.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how this would support your reconciliation process.

Add a filter for bank transactions that match bank rules
On the Bank Reconciliation screen, please add a filter or checkbox to show only transactions where Xero has identified a matching bank rule. Essentially, “Here are all the lines that match the criteria of a bank rule.”
At present, these transactions are mixed in with all other unreconciled bank transactions. This means users must work through or scroll past numerous transactions to identify those where a bank rule is available.
A simple filter such as “Bank rule matches only” would allow users to quickly review and reconcile all transactions that have triggered a bank rule in one batch.
This would…

When you click on the pull down list of Bank Accounts, it would be good to have a small highlighted box showing the number of unreconciled lines, this saves having to go in to every bank account each day, or memorise which have items to reconcile.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to enable or disable auto-reconciliation for Spend or Receive items
When auto-reconciling, separate spend items from received items. The Aged Receivables department does not find the auto-reconcile feature useful, whereas it is beneficial for the Aged Payables department.
There should be an option to enable auto-reconciliation for spend items while disabling it for received items
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why having separate controls for auto-reconciliation of Spend and Receive transactions would be useful, especially for teams managing different parts of the reconciliation process.
The idea is to allow users to enable or disable auto-reconciliation settings separately for Spend and Receive items, giving more flexibility over which transactions are automatically matched.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this workflow improvement useful.

Bank rules - Improve view & scroll
It would be really helpful if the way the list of bank rules is displayed, when selecting them in the cash coding screen, was improved and made more user friendly.
Often I have to manually apply bank rules (due to other bank rule limitations). We have a lot, so this means scrolling through the list each time.
The arrow to display the whole list is tiny, requiring precise hovering to select it, and each click only moves the list at once.
They could be displayed in a better way, at least in columns, and more shown at once.

Find and Recode - Filter by Account Type
It would be helpful to be able to filter items to find and recode by income statement or balance sheet items rather than having to sort by code and selecting the applicable ones or filtering by ALL the applicable codes, which is very time consuming.

Reconcile Period - Show end date of last reconciled period on Homepage
When an account is reconciled and the report is created for the period, it would be nice if there was a little summary alert for the end date of the most recent report on the dashboard tile (i.e. reconciled up to and including 28 Feb 2025). This would help to make VERY clear immediately which accounts are reconciled to which date and help to plan which accounts need work or need a report and which are done for the reporting period you are working on.

Bank Reconciliation - Add "Last Month" and "This Month" shortcut buttons with item counts to the Reconciliation screen
Show how many lines to reconcile per month:
I only use Xero once month, to do last months accounts. I know some people go in every day, or every few days and reconcile a few transactions, but I just do it all once a month and print the end of month reports. I am sure a large portion of people do this too.
I reconcile all previous months transactions, and run the reports. Say it is 8 April, I don't need to reconcile any transactions for April. I just want to close off March.
Therefore I want the blue "Reconcile…
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for quick filters like “Last Month” and “This Month”, along with transaction counts, within the bank reconciliation dashboard to help prioritise outstanding items.
Having these shortcuts and clearer visibility could make it easier to review specific periods and track reconciliation progress.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.
