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.

Bank Reconciliation - Allow the Tax Setting to Default to Tax Exclusive
When creating new 'spend money' transactions during bank reconciliation, allow the tax setting to match the tax setting in financial settings, if set to tax exclusive, so that it doesn't just default to tax inclusive.

Bank Feeds - Direct feed for Country Bank (US)
Add Country Bank to supported banks.
1 voteWe appreciate you sharing your suggestion! This idea is now classified as Gaining Support. Introducing a direct feed for Country Bank (US) would simplify transaction imports and speed up reconciliation processes.
In the meantime, you can always manually import the statement lines for Country Bank (US) into Xero,.
If this feature would be helpful to you, we encourage you to vote or comment. Every bit of feedback helps us improve Xero.
Thank you for your involvement in the Xero Product Ideas community.

Bank Reconciliation - Show current bank feed balance
Add the ability to display the current actual bank balance from the bank feed alongside the statement balance and Xero balance. This would help users quickly see their true available funds without needing to log into their bank separately.
Currently:We can only see the statement balance and Xero balance
Must log into bank separately to see actual current balance
No way to quickly verify available funds within XeroProposed Solution:
Add a "Current Bank Balance" column that pulls the real-time balance from the bank feed, similar to QuickBooks Online. This would:Display alongside existing balance columns

Banking - Make bank deposits from Undeposited Funds
When we receive checks from customers we record them to Undeposited Funds until they are actually deposited at the bank.
This should be a much simpler process in Xero: show a list of checks waiting to be deposited and let me select the ones to deposit. Xero should print me a deposit slip and record the transfer from Undeposited Funds to the specified bank account.

Bank Reconciliation - Add calculations into split section of Cash Coding
The Reconcile section split allows you to add, subtract, multiply and divide in the amount cell. The Cash Coding split section does not. I would like the Cash Coding split section to allow for the calculations so that you don't have to hop back and forth between Reconcile and Cash Coding in order to get all of the transactions in. This would save a lot of time for manual entry items.

Chart of Accounts - Change Xero's default Entertainment ledger codes
Chart of Accounts - the ledger codes (a) Entertainment-100% business and (b) Entertainment-0%. Can you change these categories? We accountants all know that the descriptions are misleading.
Almost all (unqualified) bookkeepers use (a) for client entertainment and claim VAT. Subsequently, accountants blindly treat this category as business expenses, reducing the taxable profit. (i.e. wrongly deduct it for corporation tax purposes) I cannot tell you how many cases I've seen in the past few years.
Please change the default categories to (a) Staff-only entertainment and (b) Client entertainment?
2 votesHi Ray, appreciate your raising this through product ideas.
We'll get a sense of the interest in changing this within the default chart of accounts from the community here.
Just to confirm, while Xero offers a default chart of accounts, you can import your own chart of accounts to set these up as you prefer, or edit individual accounts within Xero.

Bank Reconciliation - Report date to default to next period
When reconciling bank account, then publishing it should display the bank details as setup in chart of accounts - it just just says bank reconciliation. So makes it hard to know which report is which. Once reconciled it should default to the the next date so you don't have to change dates continuously.

Lock dates - Allocate past years overpayments to invoices outstanding after accounts are closed
Hi, Please can we have the ability to allocate past years overpayments to invoices outstanding after the accounts are closed. These accounts do not form part of the main ledgers, being personal accounts, therefore the allocations should be made possible, as they were in Microsoft MOA. This would tidy up much of the personal accounts for customers and suppliers.
I look forward to a favourable response.Supplier Accounts - Also, are you looking at being made available, statement histories for the suppliers as asked for several years ago and Xero said they were working on it? This is very much…
1 voteHi Iris, it sounds like you're using Lock dates here and would like to allocate credit from an overpayment that was created in a locked period to an invoice after the lock date.
Atm, if you'd like to allocate credit you could either remove the lock date to do this, or apply a refund to the original overpayment and recreate and apply the overpayment for a date post the lock date. We'll continue to track the interest of this here, however want to be open that we don't have plans to change the behaviour of lock dates currently.

Bank Feeds - Include Job Number/Tracking Category Data in PayPal Bank Feed
Hi Xero, please could you consider adding the option of including job numbers in the PayPal bank feed uploads. I am aware the data in the statement lines imported into Xero on the feed, is provided directly by Paypal themselves. But it would be very useful when looking at costs per job as we use PayPal to pay many providers globally in a day and PayPal is the best option for them an us, the job number would link the invoices to a job.

We've given it a review, and now it's over to the community for support. It's time to rally the votes! Please share this with any colleagues who would also benefit. They can vote for your idea and add comments to share details on how it would improve their Xero experience.

GoCardless - GoCardless as a Bank Feed
As the old 'GoCardless for Xero' integration is no longer being developed.
And the new 'GCiX' GoCardless as a payment service integration is even less functional.
Stripe, Paypal, Tyro and eWay all have bank feeds.
We need a functional bank feed for GoCardless.
34 votesHey everyone, thanks for all the support and engagement on this idea.
To be transparent with you all, building a dedicated bank feed for GoCardless isn't something we have in our plans right now.
While we don't have a direct bank feed for GoCardless, we still want to make sure you can easily reconcile these payments in Xero - When your customer pays, Xero automatically reconciles the individual invoice payments and fees in a dedicated GoCardless clearing account. You'll then just need to manually reconcile the bank transfer when the payout from GoCardless arrives in your bank account.
We’ll be sure to post an update here if our plans change.

Bank Feeds - Automatic Bank Feed with Maybank
Since October 2023 automatic bank feeds with Maybank are not working anymore. Before that, they worked perfectly fine, but since then they are not working, and have not been restored from Xero ever since. As per Support there is a technical problem, and they are working on fixing it for over a year now. So this is not even a new idea, but only the request to restore an important feature that already existed before. Please work harder on fixing this issue!
4 votesHi team, we appreciate interest in expanding our bank feed connections. Maybank is a feed that we're looking into so I'll keep you updated here for further news around this. 🙂

Reconciliation - Show default account for contact when reconciling
While in the reconcile screen, when I type in who and it pulls up my contact, I would like it to automatically default to the gl acct that I already have on the Contact card. I have to click on details then go to the gl box click on it to see what the gl acct is. Sometimes lets say Costco it could either by Office Supplies or Auto Expense(gas). So when I type up the Costco contact I would like to see what gl acct it is going to and if I need to change it to Auto Expense…

Bank Reconciliation - Filter to show lines with suggested matches
When reconciling the bank, I always like to start with 'quick wins' and attempt to reconcile the suggested matches first. After the recent improvements, surely it now makes sense to add a filter on the bank feed reconciliation screen to 'show lines with suggested matches'?
(This software coding must already exist because there is an option on the cash coding tab to 'Show lines with suggested matches' like in the screenshot)

Batch Payments - Ability to 'split' when reconciling
Currently a client can upload a number of invoices and then create a batch payment for these invoices. When they make a payment for 1 of the invoices in the batch, you have to remove and redo the payment then match the separate invoice up, and then recreate the batch payment, excluding the amount which has now been paid. Would be easier if like with invoices, the batch payment could be split, saving the new to remove and then recreate the batch payment.
343 votesHi team, we appreciate hearing how splitting batch payments could make reconciliation faster and less manual, especially when only one invoice from a batch is paid and the rest remain outstanding.
We agree there’s a real opportunity here to simplify the process. While this isn’t something we’re building right now, it’s part of a broader set of ideas we’re considering as we look at how to make reconciliation more flexible and efficient.
For UK and US customers we have online bill payments that make the batch and reconciliation process much simpler - If you’re not too familiar with online bill payments you can get to know more through Xero Central and learn if this solution is right for you;
Similarly, we are working on a solution for our AU customers and will be sure to share more as…

Bank - Change name of receive/spend money transactions
It would be most helpful if we could edit "receive/spend money" with "Bank receipt/payment", where "Bank" is replaced by the name of the bank, i.e. HSBC or Barclays, etc.
If more than 1 account with the same bank, HSBC Vat a/c or HSBC Paye a/c, etc....2 votesHi Bid, trying to better understand the purpose of your idea here and how it would help you when using Xero.
When you say you'd like to change the name of spend or receive money - Is there a place or flow you're using in Xero that causes confusion when looking at these transaction types?

Bank Reconciliation - Show Statement Type When Reconciling
When reconciling a bank account, it would be extremely useful to see WHERE a transaction is coming from (Bank Feed vs Imported Statement). Especially when deleting duplicate transactions, it'd be nice to know which is which as we prefer to not delete bank feeds when possible.
