    Hi everyone, we know that consolidated reporting for multiple Xero organisations is a feature many of you are invested in, and we appreciate you continuing to share your feedback and insights on this idea.

    We hear that you need a more streamlined way to manage group budgeting, produce consolidated Profit and Loss reports, and handle intercompany transactions without the need for manual exports and external spreadsheets. 

    For those looking for solutions right now - As shared by others there are Xero app partners that possibly serve these and wider needs, and you can explore on our Xero App store. 

    We want to be transparent about the current state of this idea. While we continuously evaluate all ideas, work on developing consolidated reporting is not currently planned. 

    We know this isn't the news many of you hoped for, especially given how long this idea has been on the platform. We value…

    Hi everyone, we understand why people would want to be able to apply a credit note within a locked period however we wanted to provide more context on the purpose of lock dates and reasons for the way they work at present.

    Basically put lock dates prevent users making changes to the accounting records prior to the lock date. Their role is to prevent unintended changes which would alter reporting outcomes be they financial reports, VAT/GST/Sales Tax reports etc. Lock dates ensure financial data is accurate and trustworthy.

    When a credit note is allocated to an invoice the allocation date is dated the later of the two documents, the first day where both exist. Credit note allocations require creating journals on both a cash and accrual basis, which is why if both the invoice and the credit note are in a locked period, the allocation can’t be done. Those journals…

    Your accountant wouldn't care. Allocating a credit doesn't affect the GL which is what your accountant cares about.
    Applying credits to invoices, regardless of what period the invoices or the credits are from should not be subject to lock period restrictions. I've no idea why Xero would have this.

    Hi community, first off thank you for the continued interest and feedback surrounding this idea. We’re continuing to build on the bank reconciliation experience in Xero and recognise the ways this feature will help improve the efficiency, flexibility and transparency of transactions in your business. Our team have done a lot of exploration into being able to surface and match Credit Notes when reconciling your bank account in Xero, and this is now in development.

    We’ll shift the idea here into ‘Working on it’ and continue to update as there’s more detail of this to share.

    Xero boffins..In the real world many credit notes do not relate to specific invoices. There should be no requirement to allocate a credit note to an invoice. When making a payment you should be able to approve invoices and credit notes to arrive at a net amount payable.
    This makes it easier for you as payer and for the supplier to see all the invoices/ payments that make up the amount in their bank.
    As a relatively new user to Xero some of the omissions in basic functionality astound me!
