    Hi David, appreciate how you may like this option to speed up the efficiency of this process when reconciling, and we'll get a wider sense of the interest behind this from your idea here.

    In the meantime, I just wanted to highlight that once the Transfer transactions is created it's possible to open this from the Account transactions tab of the bank account and attach a PDF to the transaction from here.

  2. The current limit is 10 alphanumeric digits. I work with non-profits and need to be able to approximate segmented accounts. At 10 digits, we are up against the limits of what can be encoded. With longer account codes, we could not only encode more information, but also add delimiters to improve readability and extensibility. Longer account codes would also be a workaround for the fact that we cannot create custom report codes. I still think that's a good idea, but I understand it might be technically difficult. I cannot imagine that simply allowing longer account codes would be a big…

    Hi Andrew, thanks for highlighting this idea. We can see how having support for longer account codes would make it easier for businesses with more complex chart of accounts structures, or those migrating from other systems, to retain their existing account numbering.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how longer account codes would support your accounting workflow.


  3. I would like to be able to manually enter Check numbers. Xero thinks I printed a check, but I didn't & I am not able to use that check because it automatically goes to the next number it thinks is unused. Reconciling the bank account amount is more important than the correct check number. For example, if I misprint a check onto a blank piece of paper and need to reprint it, it wants a new check number not the number that I had which wasn't used. I currently have 12 unused checks in my pile because Xero thinks they…

    Thanks for sharing this idea 🙂 We’ve moved it to Gaining Support.

    We can see how being able to manually enter a check number would be helpful, especially where a check has been misprinted or needs to be reprinted. This would give more flexibility to keep check numbers aligned with the physical check stock while still focusing on getting the bank account reconciled.

    You can now share this idea with your friends and colleagues so they can vote and comment too.

  4. Feature request: option to change default currency filter in Bank Reconciliation

    Hello Xero team,
    I’d like to submit a feature request regarding the Bank Reconciliation → Find & Match workflow for multi-currency transactions.

    When reconciling a bank transaction, Xero defaults to filtering matches to the same currency as the bank account. In cases where the transaction relates to an invoice or bill in a different currency, the user has to manually untick the “same currency only” filter each time.

    For users who regularly work with multi-currency transactions, this becomes a repetitive step and an easy thing to miss.

  5. Reconciliation - Ability to reconcile clearing, control, and non-bank accounts in Xero
    Ability to reconcile clearing, control and non-bank accounts in Xero.

    Purpose: To save time rather than having to copy and paste into excel to reconcile the balance.

    I think this ability in Xero is lacking and other software provided have this standard.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. As an accountant, we need the ability to be able to do manual journal entries that can include bank accounts too so we don't have to do reclassification entries for everything and then go and clear out the bank account separately. I work with lots of real estate investors and we track for properties and sometimes we want to reclassify between tracking properties without having to do spend or receive money.

  10. The current Xero set-up does not allow the user to change the start date for a bank feed once it has been activated. The start date must be input during the initial set-up and if missed (since it defaults to current date) or is mistyped in error you have to upload historical bank data by CSV. An option in the Bank Account menu to enter an earlier start date would be very useful. Failing that, remove the default so you have to input a start date at initial set-up and a question coming on after that to double check that…

    Hi Sanjit, appreciate if missed this can result in extra manual work to back date and import older statement lines to your bank account in Xero.

    Enabling the ability to change the start date once set up does create quite a few complexities, however I've slightly altered the title of your idea to reflect the behaviour of setup and we'll start to get a wider sense from the community in this here.

  11. 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.

    Appreciate your raising this with us here, Katie. To get a better understanding of your business needs and how this role would be useful to you can you share any further insights?

    Right now, as both the detail from statements and account transactions are surfaced in the Reconcile tab it'd be good to understand why you'd like to restrict this access for some users.

  13. Hi When I have one payment that was done for a lot of suppliers, you can match the suppliers to the payment. I would like to have a sub total of selected transactions at number 1. Find & select matching transactions

    Thanks for your feedback, appreciate how a subtotal of just the selected transactions in section 1 may differ to the full subtotal of transactions shown in section 3.

    We'll get a broader sense of interest from your idea here. It's not something we have plans around at present but we'll share if there's any change.

  14. When in a supplier - have the option to print Remittance Advices for the supplier
    (Currently you need to go into bank, find transaction in Account Transaction, open, click on options then view Remittance
    or alternatively have option to view remittance directly after updating "match".
    There definitely needs to be an easier way to access this report.

    Following on this
    When the Remittance is printed - should the payment match be split between branches but SAME supplier i.e one payment split between 7 branches, the Remittance prints matching per store (which is perfect) but somewhere on the Remittance Report needs…

  15. Add a consolidated bank balance widget to the Xero dashboard. I’d like a widget on the Xero dashboard that shows the combined balance of all (or selected) bank accounts at a glance. The current dashboard only shows individual bank account widgets. A consolidated view would save time and make it much easier to monitor overall cash flow.

    Thanks for raising this suggestion. A consolidated bank balance on the dashboard could make checking overall cash availability quicker and easier, without needing to work through individual account balances.

    In the meantime, you can find a combined view of bank account closing balances in the Bank Summary Report under Accounting > Reports. This idea is now marked as Gaining Support. Keep voting and sharing your feedback so we can continue to understand how this type of dashboard view could support your daily workflow.

  16. In chart of accounts create filter listing items greater than 0 t allow a succinct list pertinent to your codes. The filter could be applied to all columns to allow greater flexibility.

    Appreciate you raising this suggestion. Being able to save partial allocations could provide more flexibility when working through larger list of reconciliation.

    At the moment, only completed entries can be saved in Cash Coding. As a workaround, you can reconcile straightforward transactions there first, then return to more complex items from the Reconcile tab.

    We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and understanding the demand for this capability.

  18. 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.

  20. On the Reconcile screen, if you click the 'Add details' button for a transaction that doesn't have a suggested contact, Xero will autofill the 'To' field for the new transaction with the statement line Payee field. This is true whether or not that field matches an existing contact name and Xero doesn't indicate new contacts in any way.

    I would like the option to restrict this autofill to only use existing contact names, or turn it off entirely. I have a lot of contacts where the Payee field is slightly different than the contact name in Xero and this autofill…
