Chart of Accounts - Extra Column to show transactions reference details
When viewing each nominal account it would be helpful if a column to show reference detail, this will save a lot of time as we currently need to click into each transaction to get the details.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Maria. We understand the request to add a Reference column to the Chart of Accounts transaction view. This could make it easier to review and trace transactions without opening each one individually.

Customer Statement - Change Overpayment term to Direct Payment
Because overpayments are the only means of receiving or spending money directly in the control accounts (A/R and A/P), they should be called direct payment. On a statement, the activity is called Overpayment, which confuses clients. To the layman, overpayment indicates an error in payment.
If not Direct Payment, can it be called Payment?
1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback here. We understand the request for statements to use terminology that better matches the type of payment being recorded, rather than displaying Overpayment.

Bank feed | Yodlee - Real time bank feed
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.
3 votesHi 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.

Bank Accounts - Uncoded statement lines button visible on page
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.5 votesThanks for your feedback on the Uncoded Statement Lines button placement.

Xero Accounting App - Bulk transaction reconciliation in the mobile app
The app needs SO MUCH more functionality including the ability to multiple select transactions that aren’t tax deductions and then send them to an account all at once. That’s what takes up the most time, painfully going through every transaction separately. You should be able to multi-select a bunch and then send them to an account
1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement. The request is for bulk actions in bank reconciliation, allowing users to choose multiple transactions and apply reconciliation or categorisation in a single action via the Xero Accounting App.
This could be particularly useful for groups of transactions that need the same treatment, rather than processing each line separately.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. Let us know what types of transactions you’d most often process in bulk.

Navigation - Option to disable or remove "Leave Site?" unload confirmation prompt
The unload confirmation prompt "leave site?" added (what feels like) hundreds of additional clicks to my tired hand.
Please remove the "leave site?" prompt.
1 voteAppreciate you bringing this to the community. We understand the request for a user setting to disable the browser unload confirmation when navigating away from Xero.
The prompt can be useful when there are unsaved changes, while an option to turn it off could be preferred by users who don't need the additional confirmation.

Bank Feeds - Automated email notifications for bank feeds issue
Xero to send out an email reminder for when a bank feed either needs refreshing, has an issue, or is due, and tag as many other users of your choice in that email.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this with the community.
We can see how email notifications for disconnected or expired bank feeds could help users stay on top of issues and take action sooner when a connection needs attention.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how proactive bank feed notifications could support your workflows.
Please keep adding your votes and sharing more detail on how you'd like these alerts to work.

Bank Feeds - Real time update
Given that bank transactions are now processed 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it would be good if Xero ran overnight processing everyday rath
2 votesHi Greg, thanks for raising this. We can see how running automated bank feed processing and matching on weekends as well as weekdays could help keep transaction data more consistently up to date and reduce Monday catch-up.

Bank rules - Improve view & scroll
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.

Stripe - Allow user to choose payment account when creating a Stripe direct feed
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.

Chart of Accounts - Rename Archived Accounts Without Restoring
Rename Archived Accounts in COA.
When reorganising a chart of accounts and reporting we often need to differentiate between the old way of doing things and the new. Or we archive a lot of 'Accountant Only' codes.
Since we can't filter out the archived codes - It would be great NOT to have to 'restore' them to rename to fit in with how we do things now.
2 votesHi Kali, thanks for raising this idea. We understand the ask to update details on archived accounts directly, such as account names or codes, without needing to temporarily restore them first.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support. We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this Chart of Accounts improvement useful.

Bank Feeds - Preview new statement balance prior to confirming bank statement imports
Importing Bank Feeds - When importing bank feeds, before confirming the import it would be useful to see what the new statement balance in Xero will be once the transactions have imported so you can reconcile it to the statement balance before hitting confirm.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Amey. A balance preview during bank statement imports could make it easier to verify the imported statement lines before they’re added.

Bank Feeds - Westpac payee and description truncation
Correct the Westpac Bank Feed so the fields are passed through to Xero correctly. Currently the Description (from Westpac) is put into the Payee field (which should be Merchant), resulting in truncated description payee.
This causes us several issues in our reconciling process, particularly with being unable to identify who made a purchase without logging into the westpac portal, as well as not being able to set up rules to consistently process against a contact without the merchant being passed through correctly.
I believe the matching of a transaction to a bank line is also impacted by this. We often…
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea and explaining how the current Westpac feed affects identifying payees, setting up rules and matching transactions.
The idea is open for the community to vote on and comment below. If other Westpac users are experiencing this, please add a comment with the account type affected and how the issue impacts your reconciliation. We'll start to get a gauge of the support for this from your idea, here.

Bank Feeds - Update existing line when Revolut expense sync
I have a linked Revolut Business account. Transactions are showing up correctly. The issue comes when an already reconciled transactions is marked as expense in Revolut (and adding an invoice). Those expenses comes as a separate transactions in Xero.
The expected behavior is to update the existing transaction and add the expense info (attachment, category) to it.
2 votesHi Stefan, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why automatically matching Revolut expense syncs with existing transactions could help keep your bank reconciliation cleaner and reduce manual review.
Currently, when synced expenses create separate lines instead of updating existing records.

Colour Code Chart of Accounts
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.

Reconcile Period - Show end date of last reconciled period on Homepage
When an account is reconciled and the report is created for the period, it would be nice if there was a little summary alert for the end date of the most recent report on the dashboard tile (i.e. reconciled up to and including 28 Feb 2025). This would help to make VERY clear immediately which accounts are reconciled to which date and help to plan which accounts need work or need a report and which are done for the reporting period you are working on.
28 votesHi everyone, thanks for your support in this idea, We appreciate the need in having more visibility of the last reconciled period of a a bank account at a quick glance.
We're keeping a close eye on the needs around Reconcile period and are tracking demand in this type of reporting closely. We'll be sure to share if there are any updates with you here.

Bank Reconciliation - Custom templates/defaults for reconciliation adjustments
It would be so time-saving to allow us to create default shortcut options for the reconciliation adjustment instead of only being able to choose "Bank Fee" or "Minor Adjustment". My "Bank Fee" is always the same information for all field (except for the amount), so why can't I just select a button that I can name something like "MY Bank Fee Default" and it fills in the fields automatically and takes me directly to the amount field?! This would save people HOURS of time every month when reconciling.
5 votesHi there,
Thank you for this suggestion!
I’ve assessed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support. Being able to create custom adjustment shortcuts would be a massive win for efficiency, especially for practices or businesses dealing with high volumes of bank transactions.
I've also updated the title to Bank Reconciliation - Custom templates/defaults for reconciliation adjustments to help others with the same pain point find and support this.
A quick tip for now: If your bank fees always come from the same bank account or have a consistent description on your bank statement, you might be able to automate this entirely using Bank Rules.
By setting up a "Spend Money" bank rule, Xero can automatically suggest the account, description, and tax rate the moment the bank statement line hits your screen, meaning you wouldn't even need to click the Adjustment button!
We’ll keep you posted on any…

Find and Recode - Filter by Account Type
It would be helpful to be able to filter items to find and recode by income statement or balance sheet items rather than having to sort by code and selecting the applicable ones or filtering by ALL the applicable codes, which is very time consuming.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea ✨. We’ve reviewed your suggestion to be able to search within Find and Recode by account type, rather than needing to search by individual account. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so it can build support from the wider community. This status means the idea is open for votes and comments, which helps us gauge how useful this change would be for others and gather more detail on the workflows it could improve.
