Hi team! We've been following the conversation here and appreciate you taking the time to explain the need for this feature.
We understand you’re looking for a way to change the default setting for the ‘Show journal on cash basis reports’ checkbox in manual journals, so that it’s unticked, and that having this box ticked by default can create inaccurate cash basis reports, which is particularly challenging when you’re correcting entries or dealing with a high volume of journals.
We may look into this with a finer lens further down the line, but want to share that there's no immediate works planned to enable changing the default for whether a journal is Cash basis.
As many of you have noted, right now you'll need to manually untick the box for each journal entry.
If any change is planned for this we'll be sure to share with you all, here.

Appreciate the short videos and can see what you're saying, Chris - Have you raised a case with our Xero Support team about the slowness in loading?
Actual slowness in the page loading are issues that we'd like to dig into deeper as they aren't occurring for all users so it'd be good to be able to investigate one on one with our Xero Support team who can escalate if needed. Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for all the interest here. We understand the pain point of extra work when you need to apply a credit to a bill that's already part of a batch payment.
We are committed to enhancing your ability to manage, pay and track supplier bills from Xero. Through strategic partnerships in the UK and US customers can already pay bills online, delivering a comprehensive, bank-agnostic online bill payments experience.
Our product team's current focus is on delivering solutions like this to more regions, and continuing to develop these flows.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to change the credit application process right now.
We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and are sorry for any disappointment. Please know that we appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and helping us understand how you use Xero. We’ll update this…

Thanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.
You can continue to vote on this idea so if our position changes in the future we will update you all, here.

Thanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero.
Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience.
As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings.
Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

532 votesHi community, we appreciate the continued traction this idea's received, and do want to provide clarity and set expectation.
Your feedback has been valuable in understanding the needs of using description only lines to; add subheadings, provide context for grouped charges, and ensure your invoices are easy for your clients to read and understand.
To reconfirm, atm - You can add one-off description only lines as you enter an invoice. However, if you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you'll need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
- We know some users have set up and saved inventory items for description only lines they commonly use, however as the item code field is used for inventory items the line of the invoice is treated as 'financial' meaning you'll then need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax…

Hi everyone, we want to share that we've released a change to history for each time an invoice is sent.
Invoice history will now show the primary recipient email whenever an invoice is sent. This includes the initial and any subsequent send of an invoice.
We appreciate this has been a pain point for everyone that's joined in the idea here and hope this visibility improves your experience in invoicing.
We'd like to confirm how this works;
- This record is only applicable from here on in, there are no updates to any historical entries for sending.
- History will show the email of the initial recipient entered in the 'To' field any emails that you include as a CC or BCC option will not be shown.
We do want to highlight, that while the email will be recorded in majority of cases, there are a few scenarios our team have picked…

Hi team, to confirm how the Budget Variance report works currently it'll show;
- Green arrows for favourable amounts
- Red arrows for unfavourable amounts
- Increases in the amount from budget will have an upward arrow
- Decreases in amounts from budget will have a downward arrow
We appreciate your feedback here however being open, there are no plans to change the way this logic is applied in the report, or to extend the arrow colouring across the figures/amounts in the report.

This is totally ridiculous, it's hard enough to explain positive and negative variances to CEO's let alone keep their attention long enough to do it, but then to get them to accept that negatives are great in revenue but not in expenses. you can see why they assume the accounts are just a mystery. the solution is that as accountants we have to download the reports and correct them, but I thought the idea of the changes to the Reporting suit was to make our life easier?

Hi team, we appreciate and thank everyone for feedback. While we began a roll-out for the notification changes mentioned in my last update, as shared in some of the recent comments this resulted in a fair amount of noise for some customers inbox.
We've made the decision to turn off the recent notifications changes.
We'd like to provide more controls around this so users can set a preference, however this does require a fair amount of work and not something we're able to do right now.
Please know we have keen eyes on this idea and when we're in a position to progress this again I'll share news with you all here. Thanks

Without this feature I waste a lot of time checking just in case and inevitable things miss payment runs.
In the current format there is a significant room for error as most journals done for management accounts are accruals and prepayment so should not affect the cash flow. If this is overlooked it means there are delays whilst the journals are identified and corrected. It should be a function like the date is, a mandatory field that needs ticking as "include in cash" or "exclude from cash" that way it has to be completed and can not be overlooked. This is a very basic requirement and would save errors and lost time.
