Reconciliation - Change reporting date for reconciliation of checks
When I enter the month of the bank statement with the bank statement beginning and ending balances and want to make sure all of the transactions from that month's bank statement are accounted for, checks that were written in a previous month but not posted in the bank statement until another month aren't showing up in coded transactions in the month where the bank transaction occurred. The reconciliation with the check payment and the bank transaction can be made, but the transaction doesn't show up in coded transactions section of the bank reconciliation detail report for the month the bank…
2 votesThank you for sharing this detailed idea about how the reporting date is handled for reconciled checks.
We understand the issue you've described. When a check from a previous period clears the bank, the reconciliation report posts the transaction to the month the check was written, not the month it actually appeared on the bank statement. We can definitely see how this makes it challenging to use the report to verify a specific month's bank activity.
We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how changing the reporting date for reconciled transactions could improve their experience with Xero.

Reconcile period - Tab from Start date to end date
Fix Tabbing issue when creating reconcile period. When creating a reconcile period I enter the first date of a Statement Date Range, hit tab and instead of going to the last date of the Statement Date Range where it should go, it weirdly tabs to the opening statement balance, forcing me to go back and click on the ending date box.
2 votesThanks for your post here , Brenda.
Appreciate some customers prefer to use the keyboard to enter data. I've checked this in with our product team and can confirm, currently if you're entering a date via the keyboard and then press Tab, the cursor will move to the opening balances field.
Appreciate it's not the solution you're asking here, however atm you can press the return key to select the date from the date picker, which will automatically move the cursor to the end of the date field.
We're keeping a watchful eye on the interest of the idea to understand the interest in this.

Find & Recode - Reverse Find & Recode
The ability to reverse batches of Find & Recode. Currently not available and can pose a risk to Xero files with higher volumes of transactions.
29 votesHi team, while we appreciate the support here we want to be open that we don't have any plans for introducing the ability to undo or reverse a find & recode that has been performed. We appreciate the impact using the feature can have which is why it is currently only available to users with the Advisor role and we also suggest checking in with your adviser before making use of this feature.

Bank | Reconcile period - Allow copy & paste with '$' symbol
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!
1 voteHi team, returning to this idea we wanted to confirm that we are still watching the interest ands support for being able to copy and paste amounts with a $ sign here however this isn't something we have any direct plans for right now. Please make sure to get your colleagues that would also like to see this to vote for the idea here. If there are any changes for this idea we will share an update here. Thanks

Bank Reconciliation - Automatic payment allocation to oldest invoices first
If you have multiple invoices for the same client, a feature that allows you the option to automatically apply bank transactions receiving money from the client to the oldest invoices first moving closer to date would be mighty helpful. At the current moment, we have to manually split out each transaction to the invoices when reconciling bank transactions; it stands to reason that if you have a client with multiple invoices and they pay off in chunks, you would want to apply payments to their oldest debt first; having this as a selectable option for a contact / bank rule…
30 votesHi everyone, thanks for keeping this conversation going and sharing your workflows. It has been awhile since this was raised, so we just wanted to refresh the status.
We understand you’re looking for payments in bank reconciliation to automatically match against the oldest outstanding invoices first, given that other details are relevant.
Having more control over the matching order could make payment allocation easier for businesses managing a high volume of invoices.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, so please share your suggestion and use case for this feature.

Bank Reconciliation - Option to switch Spend Money to Receive Money
Bank accounts that do not have bank feeds - Spend money should have a reverse function in case a spend money is used when it is supposed to be a receive money.
15 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us 🙂 I can absolutely see why being able to switch a transaction from Spend Money to Receive Money in the Account Transactions tab, without having to delete and recreate it, would be helpful.
At the moment, this isn’t something Xero supports, but I’ve passed your feedback on as a product idea so it can gain visibility with the team. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know, as suggestions like this help highlight where we can improve the experience.
While I can’t promise if or when this might be introduced, your feedback has been noted and shared with the relevant team.

Bank Reconciliation - Overpayments should appear in the Find & Match
Overpayments should appear in the Find & Match for Customers.
If a customer pays their correct amount owing, but an overpayment on their account hasn't been allocated against an invoice, it is impossible to reconcile.
Users have to go into Contacts, check if there is an overpayment, allocate the overpayment against an invoice then go back into the Bank Reconciliation page.
Users should be able to tick the invoices being paid and the overpayment that was used to reconcile in Find & Match.34 votesHi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate the interest and sharing how this feature would be beneficial to you here.
As you may have seen when reconciling or through other updates, we have introduced credit notes into the reconcile experience where you can now find and select credit notes directly from the Find & Match screen.
We understand there are other transactions types our customer would like this functionality extended to and are continuing to consider how we may expand this overtime.
We will share further any further updates around this with you here. Thanks

Reconciliation | Bank Transfer - Attach file
Bank Transfers - they are great and easy - but it would be awesome if we could just improve them in the following ways - some of these suggestions incorporates other suggestions - but thinking if you are working on improving this functionality - it would be great to do it all at once. Currently when you create a transfer from the Bank feed - you can only select a bank account and enter a reference - it would be great if you could also, add tracking code(s) on that screen too (as currently if you need to attach tracking…
29 votesHi team, returning to this idea here we do appreciate the interest in improvements and how we could make the process of reconciling transfers simpler when there are additional details or actions needed.
Being open we're unlikely to deliver all the points raised in this idea at once and it's best for our product teams to understand the interest in each separately.
We do have existing ideas that relate to most of these elements and I've linked to below, and I will edit the title of the idea here to reflec the ability to attach a file when reconciling a Transfer. Please do add your vote to each that matters to you and we'll be sure to share if there is any pogress for that idea respectively. Thanks
- Cash Coding - Add a bulk transfer option (splitting a transfer to mulitple accounts)
- Account Transactions - Edit transaction dates without remove…

Bank rules - Option to pause/disable Bank Rules
Would be great to have a "Disable" button for checked/selected Bank rules on the bank rule page, rather than only a "Delete" button. Sometimes staff want to turn them off but we don't want to delete them.
7 votesHi team, thank you for the idea here. We get there can be circumstances where you may want to switch off a bank rule temporarily and we'll continue to watch the interest this idea receives for now.
If there's any progress we will share an update with you here.

Bank Reconciliation | Suggestions - Matching by invoice number rather than amount
Reconciliation to be matched by INVOICE NUMBER rather than amount
12 votesThanks for sharing this idea. I can see why matching by invoice number or reference, instead of relying on the amount first, would be really valuable for businesses dealing with instalments, part-payments, or payments that don’t exactly equal the invoice total.
Right now, suggested matches are based on the statement line and transaction having the same amount, with other statement details also considered, so I understand why this request would help reduce manual work and lower the risk of matching a payment to the wrong invoice.
If this would improve your workflow too, please add your vote and comment with a real example of when matching by invoice number or customer reference would save time or prevent errors. The more detail shared here, the easier it is to show the impact this has for customers.

Bank reconciliation - Import spend & receive money transactions
An import template for importing bank spend and receive money transactions. Now that Datadear is longer available for Xero clients as an app there is no way to import bank transactions
116 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the support we've received through this idea. Without beating around the bush we don't have any short term plans for enabling the import of spend and receive money transactions. This may be something we look into further down the track so we'll continue to track and review the idea here.
For Xero Partners you could look to use the Conversion toolbox to import bank transactions for your clients.

Bank Reconciliation: Bulk import recieved payments
Some of our customers are paying upwards of 100 invoices at one time. The ability to import a csv into Xero (that can be extracted from the remittance advice provided from the customer) would save a lot of processing time instead of manually using the Find & Match feature in the bank rec screen.
34 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on this idea, everyone.
We’ve recently introduced a feature that may help with some of the needs raised here, and we’d be really interested to hear whether it’s useful for your workflow.
Many organisations now have access to Smart Document Capture, with the rollout still continuing across regions. This feature allows you to upload files into Xero, review the extracted information, and create transactions from those documents, including spend and receive money transactions.
You may also find importing a pre-coded CSV bank statement helpful, particularly if your organisation doesn’t have a bank feed available.
To be transparent, we don’t currently have plans to support importing received payments. That said, we’d encourage you to try these features and let us know here how they work for you, and whether there are still gaps for your use case.

Settings - Ability to lock bank Reconciliation Period
To be able to lock the bank once reconciled, so no more transactions can be entered or manually forced through the bank
39 votesHi team, sorry it's taken so long for us to return to the idea here.
I appreciate the feedback from my last update where I suggested lock dates as an option and hear why this isn't a viable option for some.
If you're based in the US or CA you may want to check out our newer feature 'Reconcile period' that enables you to reconcile and close period within each bank account.
It'd be good to hear if users from other regions in this idea believe reconcile period would resolve what you're after here and I can merge in to this idea where we're continuing to track interest for expanding this feature to other region. Thanks

Bank Reconciliation - Add batch toggle for 'Discuss' to 'Match' view
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
7 votesHi 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.

Bank Rules - Set Reference to Custom Text
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.
49 votesHi 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.
