Consolidated Accounts - Intercompany Journal Mirroring
Intercompany Journal Mirroring
The Problem
When a user posts a manual journal in one Xero entity (e.g. to record an intercompany loan, recharge, or allocation), they must manually replicate the corresponding entry in the linked entity. This is time-consuming, error-prone, and breaks the audit trail across the group.
The Proposed Solution
Extend the existing Xero Network connectivity to support automated intercompany journal drafting i.e. when a manual journal is posted in Entity A, Xero drafts the mirror journal in the linked Entity B, ready for review and approval.
Key Features to Consider
- Linked entity mapping — Users define which accounts…
7 votesSorry Robert accidental post on the wrong idea! As per Malcolm's suggestion you can use the Xero network to send invoices from one company to another to create as a bill in the other. We don't have any plans to extend the Xero network to journals but for now we'll get a sense of interest from the wider community.

Bank Reconciliation - Select multiple statement lines to reconcile against transactions
We have a major customer who pays multiple invoices but splits their remittance across more than a single bank statement line. There does not seem to be ability to match a bulk deposit against more than one bank statement line.

Stripe Feed - Include transaction details
To enable Stripe reconciliations in Xero I have a Stripe feed in (as a "bank account), but unfortunately it is lacking in information, so when doing reconciliations you still need to open Stripe to find out what payments are for. It would save SO much time if the metadata could be brought through on the feed too, or if there was a way of including more information in the transaction field.
11 votesThanks for your feedback on bringing more transaction details through from Stripe. We appreciate you sharing how important this is for your reconciliation workflow.

Reconciliation - Allow an 'Edit' option for existing batch reconciliation without requiring a full Remove and Redo
We make one Batch payment to suppliers each day. So we simply reconcile on the 'Find and Match' screen against the bills or overpayments. If however, we accidentally paid reconciled a payment to the wrong supplier, we have to 'Remove & Redo' the full payment - and then re-reconcile correctly.
Xero should have the ability to simply EDIT the reconciliation to change allow us to change the contact or whatever other permutations might be.
Or atleast include this in the Find and Recode facility somehow
5 votesThanks for sharing more detail around your workflow. We understand the request to edit a reconciled batch without needing to remove and recreate it. Having the flexibility to make minor changes to an existing batch could help save time and reduce rework.
In the meantime, you can leverage the Batch Payment feature to select relevant bills and credit notes from the Bills list, and create a batch payment transaction. You can then simply match the batch payment transaction to the statement line without having to manually select each bills from the Find & Match table.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like to use it.

Bank feed - Separate Master card and sub cards feeds
Huge problem with the new update! Maybe it's just me.
Combining all company credit cards into a single feed is creating a significant problem for our accounting process.
We have five different company credit cards assigned to different departments, but the system combines all transactions into one feed and sorts them only by date. This means that at the end of each month, when employees submit their receipts, I have to sort through transactions from five different cards just to reconcile each department's expenses. With the old feeds, that was easy. With the new feed going into master account, it…
3 votesHi Lacey, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how useful it could be to have clearer visibility of transactions across individual corporate cards and departments.
I've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. It would be great to hear which credit card provider you'd like this feature to be available for.

Bank Reconciliation - Filter by spend/receive money
Filter the bank reconciliation by spend or received
Simple to complete the debtors first / or creditors
86 votesHi everyone ✨
Thanks for continuing to share your feedback on this idea. We’ve seen a lot of interest in having more detailed filters in Bank Reconciliation, including separate fields for Spent and Received amounts, and for Bill Numbers and Invoice Numbers 😊
We understand how clearer filtering would make it easier to review transactions, track activity, and find the right items faster when reconciling.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add comments. The more detail we can gather on the situations where this would help most, the better this helps our team understand the impact and prioritise future improvements ✨
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we have them.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to upload a remittance and Xero to match with existing transactions
In Bank rec window, when you try to reconcile a money receive, you could upload the remittance advice from customer PDF or excel, then Xero could auto match all the existing invoices/credit notes
8 votesTotally get the forward thinking here, thanks for sharing! We're continuing to think about how we can bring more automation to reconciling your accounts and while this isn't something we have direct plans of atm we'll keep a close eye on the support here and be sure to share if there are any updates planned.

Bank Rec Report - Run by reconciliation date
Hi,
What about generate a report that lists reconciliations by date reconciled, rather than date of transaction?
That way, if you realise after some time that you have made a mistake in your reconciliations, you can easily identify it having happened during the current session or a previous session of data entry.5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Cash Coding - Spend and Receive Totals
Have a total for each of the spent & received columns in the Fast coding screen. When the checkbox is ticked the total decreases and vice versa. Have a print button to print the data.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. Adding visible totals for the Spend and Receive columns in Cash Coding, with the totals updating as rows are selected, would make it easier to review and reconcile transactions. A print option would also help users retain or review the coded data outside Xero.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how broadly this would help. If this would improve your workflow, please vote for the idea and share details about how you would use the totals or print output.

Bank Feeds - Support for Commonwealth Bank (CBA) personal credit cards
Bank feeds for Commonwealth Bank personal credit cards
13 votesHi Ben, thanks for sharing your idea. I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.
Currently, our direct feed agreement with CBA is limited to their business and corporate products. However, with the ongoing rollout of Open Banking in Australia, we know there is a lot of interest in seeing more personal account types supported.
I’ve updated the title to "Bank Feeds - Support for Commonwealth Bank (CBA) personal credit cards" so other community members can easily find this and add their votes.
Quick Tip for now: Until a direct feed is available, the most efficient way to get those transactions in is to download an OFX or CSV file from NetBank and use the "Import a Statement" feature in Xero. You can find a step-by-step guide on manual imports here.

Bank Reconciliation - Suggestion for color-coding spent and received items.
Our clients would like and update to the bank reconciliation screen, color coding spent items and receive items so that they can tell at a quick glance if it was money that has come in and money that has gone out of the bank account.
Having everything as white makes it difficult to do their coding.25 votesThanks for sharing your idea to colour code spent and received items on the bank reconciliation screen.
We've reviewed your request and it's a great one. Now, it's up to the community to show their support.
Be sure to share your idea with colleagues and others who would benefit from this feature so they can add their vote and comments. This will help our product team see just how important this improvement is to our users.

Reporting - Show all uncoded/unreconciled Account transactions in one report instead of singular accounts
There is currently an uncoded statement lines report that you can run to view all uncoded/unreconciled statement lines. There is however no report that shows unreconciled account transactions for multiple bank accounts at once. You have to run this all separately for each account to be able to view or go into each account on the dashboard and filter on unreconciled. For an organization with multiple credit cards and accounts this is absolutely time consuming and not an efficient use of time. We need a report like the uncoded statement lines report that reports on unreconciled account transactions and this…
14 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can appreciate the ability to view all uncoded account transactions on one report instead of having to go through each account. We're moving this idea to gain more support from the community. You may share this idea with your friends and colleagues who may also want to see these changes in Xero.

Account Transactions Report - View bank statement particulars on the report instead of transactions detail
I would imagine many Xero files have at some time had a person going click happy with the OK button on the dashboard and reconciling to the incorrect entry.
By simply adding a column to choose Bank Statement Particulars in the Account Transactions report we could visually see easily if lines were reconciled to the wrong entry. This is not creating a new report but simply adding access to another column.5 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a way to view original bank statement details directly within the Account Transactions report to make auditing and reconciliation easier.
Having bank particulars visible alongside ledger data could help you quickly verify entries without needing to switch between reports or screens.
We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.

Bank Reconciliation - Show newest transactions first when sorting
It would be ideal when in reconcile bank, under the Account Transactions tab, that the lines are sorted newest to oldest as the first option under each sort category.
Now that we are years into using Xero, it is not necessary to see the old transactions as a first see option.
I typically sort my account transactions by Status as I want to see unreconciled items on the top and directly beneath that is the reconciled but the first line is the very first transaction posted years before. If I am trying to find a double entry in account transactions…

Bank Reconciliation - Change terminology from Reconcile to Categorise or Allocate
Instead of referring to reconcile transactions, it would be better to refer to categorise or allocate transactions.
Bank transactions are categorised - we tell Xero what each transaction is for - answers "What was this for?" However at present this is called Reconcile transactions
Reconciling an Account - is matching the above transactions to the bank's records (statement) - checking that every transaction in Xero matches what actually happened in the bank account and the end balance matches.
The terminology seems to confuse some and they think by categorising/allocating a transaction they have reconciled the account.
27 votesThanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Reconcile" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.
We get that using clearer terms like "Categorise" or "Allocate" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through bank reconciliation.
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.

Bank Reconciliation - Automatically clear suggested matches when recording a prepayment
When reconciling bank statement lines, Xero sometimes automatically selects suggested matches (such as invoices) that may not be correct. If I use the Create tab to record a prepayment, the previous suggested match remains selected. This increases the risk of reconciling to the wrong transaction, as I have to manually untick the incorrect match before reconciling.
It would be much more intuitive and safer if, after creating a prepayment, Xero automatically cleared any previously selected matches so that only the new prepayment is selected for reconciliation. This change would reduce errors and make the workflow more efficient.
1 voteAppreciate you sharing this, Donna. The idea is to automatically clear any selected Match items when creating a prepayment during reconciliation, so they can't remain selected by mistake.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. How would you expect this to work in Xero?

Bank Feed - Aldermore bank
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Aldermore bank
85 votesHi everyone, thanks for all the support for a bank feed with Aldermore Bank. We are aware of the interest here, and are currently exploring the possibility of this feed.
As some of you have noted, the best option for now is to manually import your bank statements into Xero. This will help you keep your accounts up-to-date. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Xero Central article here: Import a bank statement.
Another way you can help is by letting Aldermore Bank know you’d like to see them integrate with Xero. We've found that banks are more likely to prioritise building a feed when they hear directly from their own customers. They can get in touch with our team to start the process here: Register your financial institution for bank feeds.
We want to be transparent that while we're aware of the demand…

Xero Accounting App - enter a receive money transaction
In the Xero Accounting App it would be really useful to be able to enter a receive money transaction. This option is only available in the desktop version but for those that receive cash on the move it would be helpful to be able to record this via the app, particularly as it won't show up in a bank feed.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how being able to create a Receive Money transaction directly in the Xero Accounting mobile app could make it easier to capture transactions while you're away from your computer.
For now, if the payment has already appeared in your bank feed, you can create the transaction during bank reconciliation in the mobile app. If it hasn't reached your bank feed yet, you'll need to wait until you're back on a web browser to enter it manually.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest.

Bank accounts - Change balance formatting
Please change the font and bold the balances on the accounts main screen and move the balance back to the left where it was previously.
I can't figure out why you made this change in the first place as there was nothing wrong with the setup of the old Bank Accounts screen. I do like the added width but you've made it harder to see the balance quickly and it just isn't as user friendly view IMO.
8 votesThanks Jim, appreciate your feedback and have shared this back with the team. We don't have any immediate changes planned for this but will keep an eye on interest here and share if there are any updates.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to split spend or receive money transaction
Ability to allocate part bank payments to a full spend money transaction already entered, instead of deleting the part payments and marking the full spend money transaction as reconciled
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for bumping this idea . We understand you’re looking for a more visible way to split bank transactions from the reconciliation screen, so you can break down a single transaction into multiple categories more easily.
Having the split option more accessible could help make reconciliation quicker and reduce the need to search through additional steps.
We’ll continue to keep track of this idea and gather feedback from the community.
