   Hi team, we want to acknowledge your feedback and the needs you’ve expressed for being able to view the transaction line description in the account transactions report.

   While we appreciate not the news you’re hoping for here - we want to be honest with you all that there are no plans at this stage to change the behaviour of this report.

   We appreciate there can be some confusion of what is shown as it does differ based on the account and the line’s origin. We have added detail within our Xero Central article, but I’ve also noted below for ease of reference.

   • For accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank accounts, and tax account, it shows the contact’s name.
   • For all other accounts, it shows the contact’s name and the item line description.
   • As manual journals don’t have contacts, it shows narration and description.
   • For wage payments, Payroll Employee displays in place of the employee's name.

   We’ll be keeping a close eye on the interest this idea continues to build and votes will remain open. If anything changes with the status or if there are any updates to share, we’ll be sure to post them here so you’re among the first to hear.

   Its an absolutely stupid feature that will take the Xero Development team 5 minutes to resolve.
   Contact = Contact
   Description = Description
   NOT: Description = Contact + Description

   Hi everybody, coming across from the previous forums we know this idea has a lot of interest.

   There is a way of using Xero's reports to accomplish what you're asking here and save the format so you can easily access and send this report to your customers outside of Xero.

   Running the Aged Receivables detail report you can choose how many ageing periods you'd like to show and set the period to '30 days'. Simply Filter the report by Contact and Update to run.

   • Once you've got it set up, save as Custom so you can easily access this format anytime
   • If you deal with groups of contacts this also means you could Filter for multiple contacts to combine the view into one report rather than multiple customer statements 🙂
   • Export the report to PDF, where you can send to customers from your email system outside of Xero

   We appreciate the one element missing is the ability to send from in Xero, but to be open and upfront we don't have direct plans for making this change within customer statements in the foreseeable future. Thanks

   It is absurd that Xero does not include invoice ageing on the Customer statements - this is basic accounting functionality and is required by ALL Customers. Likewise we (business) require Suppliers to provide detailed Creditors Ageing on the monthly statements.

   Xero appears to be completely disinterested in addressing this issue???

   Hello Xero????
