Hi team! We've been following the conversation here and appreciate you taking the time to explain the need for this feature.
We understand you’re looking for a way to change the default setting for the ‘Show journal on cash basis reports’ checkbox in manual journals, so that it’s unticked, and that having this box ticked by default can create inaccurate cash basis reports, which is particularly challenging when you’re correcting entries or dealing with a high volume of journals.
We may look into this with a finer lens further down the line, but want to share that there's no immediate works planned to enable changing the default for whether a journal is Cash basis.
As many of you have noted, right now you'll need to manually untick the box for each journal entry.
If any change is planned for this we'll be sure to share with you all, here.

Hi team, we're pleased to share that this work is now underway.
Our intention is to allow you to associate a contact per line in a manual journal.
We appreciate there is a lot of interest in progress for this feature and I'll be back to share as soon as we have more news to update you on, here.

This is such a critical feature I'm surprised doesn't exist. When we're assessing spend with a particular supplier we want to include accruals and prepayments. Currently involves a lot of manual intervention to allocate a contact to an accrual/prepayment journal.
Considering switching to another platform if this doesn't get fixed soon.David Ackerman

Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback and highlighting the need for multi-currency manual journals, and being able to see the FX rate directly in the journal.
We understand the needs in this space have close ties with this idea for being able to journal to bank accounts, and this is something we have intentions of doing deeper discovery around in the longer term. However, we want to be upfront that this work isn't roadmapped right now.
Though we appreciate not the straight forward approach that you’re after here - currently you can create the journal via a bill in the relevant foreign currency. Entering positive and negative lines for the debit and credit entries, which results in a 0.00 bill total once approved. The bill lines are converted to your organisation’s base currency using the bill’s FX rate, and the transaction won’t revalue.
As soon as there's movement…

This does seem like such a simple change for Xero to make. It's not even as if it impacts other areas of the system, its just changing a default or allowing it to be set as the default option.
Very frustrating, especially given this was raised 9 years ago!
