  1. My bank connects via Yodlee and is consistently 7-10 days behind. Upon manually refreshing it is still several days behind. This makes staying on top of reconciliation in a timely manner frustrating and at times creates more work as items that have been user entered and manually reconciled then appear again from the bank feed. The rest of Xero is great to use but this one feature is a significant negative.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the idea. We understand you’d like Yodlee bank feeds to update more quickly, ideally in closer to real time, so transactions are available sooner for reconciliation.

    This could make it easier to manage day-to-day bookkeeping with out waiting for feed delays.

    We’ll continue to monitor feedback and input from the community here.


  2. When amending a journal which is a reversing journal, the system should automatically amend the reversing journal. At present you have to manually amend the reversing journal.

  3. 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

    Hi 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.


  4. 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!

    Hi community, we appreciate the support this idea is starting to gain. Our product teams are considering this idea among other improvements as they plan their roadmap and I'll update here if there's progress.

    For the time being, you can change the dates to essentially reset this to the period you want to reconcile.

    To open the period in an editable state from the 'All periods' list:

    • Select the "Continue" button on a draft period, or
    • Select "Edit" on a locked period, then "Continue" in the modal to unlock it

    From there select the 'Edit date range' button in the top right hand side and change the dates to the period you want to work on. You can also click into the "Opening statement balance" and "Closing statement balance" fields to update these.

  5. 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.

    Hi 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.


  6. The auto reconciliation feature in Beta is great but it would be appreciated if you could tailor what to reconciliation. Eg only auto process things that match not create new invoices (from memory). We need to upload tax invoices on all purchases, by auto creating it is skipping this important step. If people have already uploaded (via expenses) then its ok.

  7. On the bank account transactions pages, when someone has paid one of my invoices, it displays as 'Payment: Joe Bloggs', it should display as 'Receipt: Joe Bloggs' as i have received the monies not paid them.

    Thanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Payments" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.


    We get that using clearer terms like "Receipt" or "Payment Received" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through allocation of payments on an invoice.


    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.

  8. Assign multiple transactions to a project in cash coding. There should also be a projects field on the main page, rather than having to go to "add details>assign to project>search for project>click project>click ok>click reconcile".

    As with many travelling workers, many of my transactions for a trip are all bunched together and it would save me so much on bookkeeping time and fees to be able to select multiple statement lines or transactions and "assign all" in one click. Under cash coding makes sense because the checkbox already exists for each line, Projects just becomes another column.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how bulk assignment to projects during cash coding improve your workflow especially with grouped transactions from travel or project work.

  9. New RBC Royal Bank Feed Flinks is very cumbersome for 2FA it asks for the code twice. It also cannot see the Line of Credit feeds that has to be refreshed separately compared to the old connector (Yodlee?). Would be great if you could give feedback to Flinks for a faster connection.

    Hi Samantha, thanks for sharing your feedback on this. The suggestion here is to streamline the two-factor authentication (2FA) process for RBC bank feeds, reducing the need to re-verify as often when accessing your connected accounts.

    We’ve updated this idea to **Gaining Support** so we can continue tracking interest and share your feedback with our teams.

    A quick note: this post also mentions support for RBC Line of Credit feeds. To keep ideas focused on one improvement at a time, please create a separate idea for that request so it can gather its own feedback and support.


  10. 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.

  11. When in a bank account and want to reconcile another bank bank account, it would be really handy from the drop down where we can choose the next bank account to go to, if the number of unreconciled items could also be visible within next to the name of the bank account.

    This stops going back to the homepage to see which account to go into next to reconcile.

  12. Currently, if you connect a new Stripe feed, your default Stripe payment account auto updates to the new account without asking or notifying you. This is highly problematic. At a minimum, you should be notified that its updated. At best, it should ask if you want to update.

    Hi team, we're pleased to share that we're working on a feed for Chase bank (UK) at present. This is currently in testing and I'll round back to update you again as soon a it's live 😊. Thanks again for sharing your interest in this here and staying tuned in Xero Product Ideas!

  14. For the XERO auto reconciled report, please provide the ability to (1 ) sort all the column headers : Date Payee/Reference Transaction date Transaction description Document type Invoice/Bill reference Account code Spent Received Method
    (2) export the report (3) enable the report size to be adjusted to show all fields in one page

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a well thought out idea with us about a JAX auto-reconcile report 💙 We really appreciate the detail you’ve included and the way you’ve explained the impact this would have.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to gather interest and feedback from the wider community. This helps us better understand the level of demand and gives our product teams useful context when reviewing ideas like this.

    Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback with us and help shape Xero ✨

  15. On the new home page, for each bank account, the Statement balance is on the left and the Xero balance is on the right. On the Xero app they are the opposite way around. Consistency between the two UIs would save time by reducing friction.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand that having consistent information across mobile and desktop is important, especially when you’re checking balances or making quick decisions on the go.

    The suggestion here is to align the bank balance view in the mobile app with the web version, so users can see the same balance details and have a clearer view of their reconciliation position.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more feedback on how this impacts your mobile workflows.

  17. Please could the 'Uncoded Statement Lines' button be reinstated on the new bank feeds page, rather than hidden under the ... menu?
    It makes for an extra click every time and there's plenty of room on the page for it.

  18. It would be really helpful if the way the list of bank rules is displayed, when selecting them in the cash coding screen, was improved and made more user friendly.

    Often I have to manually apply bank rules (due to other bank rule limitations). We have a lot, so this means scrolling through the list each time.

    The arrow to display the whole list is tiny, requiring precise hovering to select it, and each click only moves the list at once.

    They could be displayed in a better way, at least in columns, and more shown at once.

  20. Would it be possible to add a feature to colour code our chart of accounts - especially expenses? When I am at the petrol station adding a receipt for a fuel purchase, it would be great to scroll down to a colour (with the account number). Another idea would be to have a favourites for expenses - we could add the ones we use most often.
    Thanks from a small business owner.
