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.

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…
5 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.

Reconcile period report
Provide a report which shows all bank accounts listed alongside the latest reconciled month for each bank account to provide a quick overview of which bank accounts have not been reconciled.
14 votesHi Maria, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this reconciliation period report idea. It’s been helpful to understand how a single view of reconciliation status for all bank accounts could support the way you manage your work.
This idea has now moved to Gaining Support, so it’s open for the community to add votes and comments. If others would find this useful, it’d be great to hear how it could fit into your workflow or any specific use cases you have in mind. That kind of detail really helps guide what we explore next.

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…
13 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.

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.4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Bank Feeds - Support for Commonwealth Bank (CBA) personal credit cards
Bank feeds for Commonwealth Bank personal credit cards
11 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 - 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.

close period
Have an additional date which is the driver for the bill/invoice/journal to be posted into the current period. This would enable invoices dated in prior months to the current period to have correct due dates calculated.

Bank Feed - Aldermore bank
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Aldermore bank
84 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…

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 - 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.

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
6 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.

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.

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.3 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.

Spend money - Refund
Refund transaction that links to a previous Spend money transaction
Hi Xero users,
When we received a refund for a payment, the only option is to record the received amount as a separate transaction in the same account.
There is no option to link the refund transaction to the previous completed spend transaction unless it is a Bill.
It would be very helpful if Xero can add this feature
This way, when we click on a spend transaction, we can know immediately if it is refunded or not, cause the two spend and received transactions are at different date so…2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.
