  1. 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.

  2. It would be good to see the balance sheet on the app. You can get P&L but not balance sheet. The balance sheet is a sign of the company's health - the P&L is just something non-accountants want to concentrate on!

  3. It would be really good to be able to refresh bank feeds on the app to make sure the information showing is up to date. Too often the app statement balance is different to the web and the web is often different to the actual bank balance. You can refresh the feed on the web to get it up to date but you can't on the app!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Problems with Xero Bank Reconciliation where client uses online banking for multiple payee payments. Friction between Bank payments and Xero settings.

    Background
    Client selects 20 creditor payees to create batch for payment processing. (20 payees is the max that Bank online processing will allow in one batch).

    Xero batch is then imported to bank (ANZ)online software multiple payee (as opposed to Directlink). Bank processes payee payments as individual payee payments and lists them as such on client's bank stmt. No option at bank to report on statement as one total balance.

    Xero has processed creditor batch as a total and…

  7. Duplicate the page selector buttons so they are also placed at the top of the "Reconcile" page not just the bottom. When working my way from bottom to top, it would be easier if there was a page selector at the top of the same page, not just the bottom to speed up navigation.

  8. I would like Xero to introduce the ability to post a one-off manual depreciation adjustment directly against an individual fixed asset.

    At year-end, accounts compliance teams sometimes calculate an additional depreciation adjustment after reviewing the fixed asset register and the relevant capital allowance or compliance treatment. Currently, when this adjustment is posted as a manual journal, it does not update the individual asset record in Xero. This creates differences between the fixed asset register, accumulated depreciation, the nominal ledger and the year-end accounts, making reconciliation more difficult.

    It would be helpful if users could select an individual asset and enter…

  11. In the dashboard view it is difficult. You cannot tell by looking whether auto-reconcile is turned on for that bank account or not. A simple icon representing auto-reconcile turned on would be a great visual check. This thought occurred to me as I am test-driving this function in a couple of bank accounts that have fewer transaction lines going through them to build my confidence in its ability to reconcile correctly. It would also be awesome to turn it off or on with a click from the dashboard. See example of the view attached

  13. On the Bank Reconciliation screen, please add a filter or checkbox to show only transactions where Xero has identified a matching bank rule. Essentially, “Here are all the lines that match the criteria of a bank rule.”

    At present, these transactions are mixed in with all other unreconciled bank transactions. This means users must work through or scroll past numerous transactions to identify those where a bank rule is available.

    A simple filter such as “Bank rule matches only” would allow users to quickly review and reconcile all transactions that have triggered a bank rule in one batch.

    This would…

    Thanks for sharing this feedback. Having a way to quickly isolate transactions matched by bank rules could make high-volume bank reconciliation easier to manage.

    We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would improve your workflow, let us know how you’d like to use it.

  14. Have history on chart of accounts to see who opened an account or changed.

    Thanks for connecting with our Xero Support team to feedback on our last update, Rachel. you can always react to the email notification of the status update from the idea that'll allow you to share feedback that myself and the team review, too. 🙂

    Though it's possible to view the history when a change is made to an account in the chart of accounts, there's no current event that records when a user creates a new account.

    We'll start to get a feel for the interest in this here, and I'll share if there are any updates.

  15. Set up mortgage or long term bank loan accounts as Non-current liabilities but still enable the user to connect a bank feed. This will ensure the coding and processing burden is reduced when reconciling loan accounts and will ensure the Cashflow statement is correct.

    Thanks for taking the time to share this idea with us 💥 We really appreciate you explaining how this could help reduce the coding and processing effort involved in reconciling loan and mortgage accounts, while also supporting more accurate reporting.

    We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and feedback from others who’d also like to see this in Xero.

    Thanks again for raising this with us and for sharing the impact this would have for you.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know how the ability to set a default for the currency filter in bank reconciliation would aid your workflow.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  18. Hi Xero,

    When doing bank reconciliations, we often have to change the dates on rec lines.
    It would save so much time if you did not have to click into the transaction to change the date.

    Likewise, in cash coding - You can change every other detail except the date, meaning you have to go back into individual transactions

    Have attached screenshots.

    Hi Natalie, thanks for sharing your feedback here.

    We can see how having the ability to edit the date on a bank statement line could help in situations where the bank processing date differs from the date you need for your reconciliation workflow.

    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 this would support your reconciliation process.


  19. 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 team, thanks for your inputs here. We're currently working on some updates for our mobile homepage experience and this is a change that we'll be looking to solve as part of this work.

    While we don't have timeframes for this, however I'll round back to confirm once it's live. 🙂

  20. 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.
