    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.

    Another thing about Xero changing the description of an item to just the supplier contact name. At times we order the same item from different suppliers, so if we go searching for how many of an item we've purchased over the past year, we're going to end up with a list of supplier names which might have items we haven't purchased or need information about. How many of the programmers in Xero have actually worked in a small business that orders many different items, from the same supplier as well as different suppliers?
    The difficulty in trying to search for important information will be so much more difficult AND time consuming.

    It's just common sense, a contact name is known, the range of items costed that a contact's bill lists, can be quite large, the same name (contact's name) on every different item purchased on that bill, as that items description, is crazy.

    Whose bright idea was it to change something that has worked logically for years !! The description of the expense from a supplier we know doesn't need the suppliers name in the description. Absolute stupidity and nonsense and a total stuff up for something that has worked so successfully in the past. Do fix it ASAP
