I would REALLY like the ability to edit the name of a previously published report. Currently users can not do that.
My clients frequently publish reports using all sorts of goofy meaningless or confusing names. It takes time to drill into each one to see what the report is and whether it contains the relevant information I am looking for. Clients are frequently frantic and disorganized when it comes to accounting information. Since there are VERY limited document management tools available for published reports, being able to rename them in a consistent manner would be SUPER helpful in sorting and finding relevant reports.

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.

Thanks for the detail in your idea here, Paul. I had a bit of a test of this myself and have checked in with our reporting team.
It doesn't quite appear in the modal once the report's run - this is something that we'll look to improve.
However, it's possible to enter multiple terms which will each be searched and return results for (like OR as an operator) - All you need to do is enter a comma(,) and space between each condition.
For example A0, L0 or A0, A1, A2, 🙂

Thank you for your engagement on this idea. To help explain a little on how this works in the Account Transactions(AT) report - what shows in the Description field when running the report is dependent on the type of account you're running the report for.
For example, when running the AT report for a bank account, transactions will show the Contact name in the Description field. This is because the detail that is entered on each description line in the body of a transaction relates to the account the line item is coded to.
To see the detail, you'll need to run the report for the account code, not the bank account. This is also how the report works for some other accounts such as the system sales tax account, Account Receivable, and Accounts Payable.
If you're trying to find the account a bank transaction or system account line has…

Account Transactions Report Description Cash Basis - please use the same transaction description text for cash basis reporting as it is displayed for accrual basis reporting. Currently cash basis description text is limited to "Payment: [Vendor Name]" which is utterly useless in performing analytical procedures of scanning to see the general business purpose for a cash basis report. This is a very common practice by CPAs to quickly gain an understanding of the nature of transactions in a given account for tax compliance reasons.
Currently users must drill down in each suspect transaction to the originating bill to see the actual description text entered by a client.
QuickBooks uses the same description text regardless of the basis of accounting for reporting purposes for this very reason. Just sayin....
I have clients that perform their own bank reconciliation procedures. I believe these users need to have the user rights to publish that bank reconciliation report to archive it in Xero. More flexibility should be given to standard users ability to publish reports instead of the all or nothing approach.
As it stands now I have to give them Advisor level user status in order to perform this very basic internal control procedure clients really need to be involved in. Xero user rights are over-simplfied in this area of concern.
