Chart of accounts - Option to exclude account from cash basis reports
Choose your cash basis accounts - After coming to the forum becuase I haven't found a way to remove non-cash accounts from cash basis reports I saw a bunch of people asking for depreciation to be ADDED to the reports. So obviously we all want something different. How about each account on the COA has another checkbox (like the "show on dashboard", "enable payments" check boxes) that gives the user the option to EXCLUDE FROM CASH basis REPORTS. I can remove all the deferred revenue, someone else can add in depreciation, and we can all have the cash basis reports…

Bank Reconciliation - Allow correction of exchange rate on account transactions
As the Open Banking Credit card transactions with Fx amounts are still being incorrectly imported, allow the transactions to be edited rather than every month having to delete the existing transaction and create a new one.

Bank Reconciliation - Upload receipts from other apps to reconcile with statement lines
The ability to match and upload receipts and invoices stored and analyzed on any number of different apps to simple bank transactions downloaded and categorized in xero based on the exact amount and the relative date only. Do this without the complication of further analysis in xero such as matching or paying bills.
Background and use case: For any business primarily downloading and categorizing expenses from various bank and cc accounts and not using xero to bill customers and create invoices.2 votesHi Scott, I know it's been a while since you first raised this idea however we're rolling out a new Smart Document Capture feature in Files that may accommodate your needs here.
It's currently only available to UK organisation but will be released to other regions over the coming months.
Smart Document capture will read your uploaded file to help you create and autofill fields of your transactions, including Receive and Spend money where you may not wanter enter as a Bill or Invoice. 🙂

Allow journals to Accounts Payable/Receivable
Unlock Accts Receivable and Accts Payable GL accounts. Currently unable to enter AJEs that require it. Even our auditors are asking why we cannot do this in Xero as with other accounting systems. Previously Xero responded by saying it's an account integrity issue...but accounting is an integrity issue! Too many hours wasted trying to work around this (and please don't suggest creating another account, as in Accts Rec 2)

Find and Recode - Ability to change the amount
Within the find and recode facility I would like the ability to change the amount posted. This can be particularly useful for repeating journals. For example, there could be a monthly release of a rent prepayment, where a rent review has been backdated several months and therefore the charge released needs adjusting historically. As it stands currently, each individual posting needs editing, rather than (say) being able to change 9 month's postings in one entry.
3 votesThanks for the detail in your idea here, Kevin. We don't have any plans to enable the changing of amount in Find & recode in the near term. We'll get a gauge a sense of the demand for this from community in your idea here.

Bank Feeds - Collaborate with banks and improve the information that's imported
Bank feeds are critical to a business's accounting system.
Detail on those feeds is also critical.
BOQ Specialist (AU) (and I'm sure other banks) provide deficient bank feeds to Xero.
See the difference between the (unmodified) imported statement lines and the bank feed statement lines on the image.
The bank feed statement lines only say "Online transfer" which is about as helpful as saying "transaction".
The imported statement lines say Online transfer and then the bank narration, which is much more helpful.
Xero Support suggested I speak to the bank - great idea, waste my time speaking to a customer…2 votes -
Journals - Ability to access the journal entry from each transaction
I would love the ability to view the Journal entry created by each transaction, from the transaction itself (without having to leave the transaction to pull a journal report). QBO has this option and I find it very useful.
13 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea and for everyone who has taken the time to vote and comment.
We can see how valuable it would be to view the journal entry directly from a transaction, without needing to leave the transaction and run a separate report. That extra visibility would make it easier to understand the accounting impact and troubleshoot more efficiently.
Because of the support and feedback this idea has received, we’re moving it to Gaining Support. We’ll continue monitoring the interest and updates shared here to help inform future consideration.
We really appreciate you taking the time to tell us how this would improve your experience in Xero.

Banking Feed Login - Direct Xero Notification
Banking Feed Login - Direct Xero Notification
I receive direct notifications from my bank platform when my business account is being accessed. Having the bank account linked to Xero is functional, but creates some security anxiety as I receive notifications from the banking platform about a login and then need to check if it is Xero. A direct notification - or even just email notification - from the Xero app would be helpful to cross reference and know that the specific login is Xero and not a security threat. I have searched quite extensively but haven't found this option.
2 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea here, Dylan. I've shared this back with our team. While this isn't something we have direct plans for atm, it's great to have this understanding how a change could have an impact on your work. If there are any changes I'll be sure to share with you here.

Chart of accounts | Print - Include descriptions
Can Xero please bring back the function enabling the details to be printed with the Chart of Accounts. It was a feature when we converted to Xero, but is no longer.

Reconciling | Add Details - Highlight bank feed Description
During reconciling, when adding details - Description section coming from bank feed could be auto-highlighted saving time, allowing it to be changed more easily, rather than having to mouse across to select or (triple tap trackpad). This way if it didn't require a change of description, we can tab across. But having it automatically selected when tabbing through fields would be amazing if possible. eg. of highlighted area attached.

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…
33 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 - Show difference between Statement Balance and the balance at the actual bank
Where the Xero bank account balance and the bank's account balance don't match, but the account has been fully reconciled, Xero displays both balances.
It would be good if Xero would also show the difference, ie, how much is the difference between Xero and the bank.

Lock dates - Ability to set separate lock dates at a feature level
we have specific cut offs for certain aspects of our EOM so more options for locking periods in certain categories would be so beneficial.
lock revenue for a specific period once reviewed
lock a payroll period once closed for EOM
lock expenses or AP once closed9 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in having more levels of control when it comes to lock dates. We don't have any plans for this at present but are continuing to watch interest for this idea grow.
If there are any updates we'll let you know here.

Bank Reconciliation | Add Contact - Enter full details
When adding a new contact while in the bank feeds screen, you can add a new contact name but cannot give it the gl acct number or enter the address etc. You have to go back to contacts pull up new contact and then enter all info. Please add a feature to add all the info at the moment you set up the new contact name.

Multi-Entity - Intercompany Account Transaction Feed
There should be an ability to set up an intercompany account using the bank feed function between businesses that are 'connected'. This would save countless hours manually journalling transactions. You should be able to create a transaction in the bank feed, or mark an invoice as paid by the intercompany account and the corresponding transaction should show on the respective other company.
24 votesHi everyone, just a quick update from our team. To align with the changes made to Xero Product Ideas, we've updated the status of this idea here.
We encourage everyone who would find this feature useful to please keep voting and sharing your comments below. Learning more about what you would use this for and how it would help your business helps our product team understand the potential impact. Your detailed feedback is a crucial part of our evaluation process.
Thanks for your continued support and for sharing your thoughts with us!

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: Search for transactions across all accounts
Can we have the ability to search for a transaction , by amount , payee or description across all bank accounts. Rather than having to go into each bank account and sort dates etc and than search. Having the option to choose all bank accounts, rather than an individual bank account would be awesome.
270 votesHi team, we get how searching across bank accounts would be useful when looking for a specific transaction.
While our product team have reviewed this idea, we don't have any plans for developing this capability in the short term.
That doesn’t mean it’s off the table, and we'll continue to assess the interest from community in this as we keep planning our roadmaps.
If things change we'll gladly share with you all here.
In the meantime, you can use the search in Xero and filter by bank transactions. It’s not a perfect solution, but it can help in some situations.

On focus the code dropdown should clear
In the dcoding screen, if there's already a code selected then the user has to manually empty the existing code to be able to type another. This is just clunky - when the dropdown is enabled it should either clear the field or allow the user to start typing a new code.
2 votesSorry for the delayed follow up here, Kevin. When you mention the dcoding screen would this be find & recode or somewhere a bit different in Xero?

Bank Rules - Ability to set Date range as a criteria for application
It would be great to have the date of bank transactions as a criteria field when creating a rule. When we are paid by the ESFA, the amounts we receive at the beginning of the month have a different nominal to those received later in the month. In Sage we could set a rule as 'between 2 dates'
3 votesHi everyone, thank you for clarification of the idea here. Can understand how being able to set the date range or end date of a bank rules application could help with more accurate application and efficiency in reconciling.
As you'll be aware auto bank reconciliation has now also been rolled out to organisations and leverages bank rules as a means to help reconcile your accounts so regular review and update of your rules can further assist in using this tool.
I'd like to be honest here that there are no plans at this point for extending criteria of rules to be able to accommodate this idea, however we'd like to continue to gather interest through this idea and can keep yu in the know if there are any updates.

Bank Statements - Specify whether Direct/Prepayments/Overpayments on the CSV file
When importing bank statements, it would be very useful if we could select (already in the csv perhaps) whether the payment is to be a Direct Payment, or rather a Prepayment.
We receive almost exclusively prepayments, and I find that when I import the statement, that I cannot select that the income lines should be treated as Prepayment.
