Sorry Robert accidental post on the wrong idea! As per Malcolm's suggestion you can use the Xero network to send invoices from one company to another to create as a bill in the other. We don't have any plans to extend the Xero network to journals but for now we'll get a sense of interest from the wider community.

Hello I am the product manager for the group within Xero which looks after the currency capability.
I follow the digital currency space closely, I find it incredibly interesting both sociologically as well as technically. However as a product manager my role is to ensure that my engineering group works on the things that create the most value, for the most people, and in alignment with the company's long term goals and aspirations.
Digital currencies continue to have an extremely passionate, but also extremely small group of users who want to see them handled in Xero. The cost remains very high for us to deliver this feature, and does not make a difference to enough peoples lives to justify that investment. There are a lot more touchpoints than many people appreciate to implement crypto properly. Huge decimal precision, UX, currency rate feeds, revaluation logic, reporting - all need changes to…

Intercompany Loan Accounts & FX Revaluation
The Workaround
Because Xero only performs automatic foreign currency revaluation on bank accounts, you're having to classify intercompany loan accounts as bank accounts, purely to get the FX conversion functionality, even though they are not 'bank accounts'
Why This Is Problematic
- Without changing the layout, it misrepresents the account type in the chart of accounts and on the balance sheet by default, which if left, undermines the integrity of financial reporting, particularly when producing statutory accounts or group consolidations
- It's a compliance headache as auditors and accountants expect loan accounts to look like loan accounts
- It's a friction point for anyone inheriting or reviewing the Xero setup who doesn't know why the account was set up that way
The Proper Fix
Xero should extend its foreign currency revaluation functionality to non-bank balance sheet accounts, specifically allowing loan, intercompany, and other nominated accounts to participate in automatic FX revaluation at period end, without needing to be disguised as bank accounts.
