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…

Thanks so much for all your support and input on this idea, everyone.
We understand how helpful it’d be to have a credit limit field for suppliers in Xero, and how it could help manage cash flow and stay within agreed limits with your key suppliers.
A good workaround shared here, is to use the Notes field in the supplier's contact record to manually track their credit limit. While this doesn't automatically stop you from exceeding the limit, it's a visible reminder for your team. Additionally, regularly running the Aged Payables Summary or Detail report can help you keep an eye on what you owe and when it's due.
We know there’s a desire for this functionality, however we want to be transparent that we don’t have any plans for this in the near term, and will move this to Not in pipeline.
The idea will remain open for votes…

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how useful it would be to see the details of the payments on the Contact activity page.
The product team have reviewed this and it's something they would like to explore, though it isn't currently on the roadmap. This idea remains open for votes and comments, so please continue sharing your experiences here as your input helps us understand how this feature could support your workflows.

Hi team, we wanted to share an update as we have released Smart Document Capture that can analyse and help auto create transactions(including bills) from the files inbox. Along with the upload bills feature mentioned in my last update, these tools can help reduce the manual data entry for you, saving you valuable time.
Right now, we're currently working on a redesign of the individual bill View and Edit pages, that'll have the ability to add a Planned date directly on the page. When released, if manually entering a bill from scratch, once you add a contact all you'll need to do is click Save to update the page where the option to add a planned date will be available.
I'll come back to share when these pages are released.

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share feedback about paying multiple bills in foreign currencies with us here.
As mentioned in my last update UK organisations can use our online bill payments solution with Crezco to pay international suppliers.
UK businesses can now use open banking to pay suppliers in 180+ countries, including in EUR, USD and AUD, either individually or in batches. Payments can be prepared by a team member, authorised and tracked in Xero.
To share further progress in the US we've launched online bill payments through Melio, which includes ACH and international or cross-border payments.
We've also launched a bill payments solution for AU with AirWallex that's currently in early access. This doesn't yet support paying in foreign currency however this functionality is high on our radar as we continue to develop this experience.
We’ll continue to share progress as the further regional capabilities develop. Thanks

Thanks for the additional feedback on this idea, and apologies for the time since our last update.
As noted in the discussion, the Description column doesn’t show the same information in every Xero report. In the Supplier Activity report, it shows a transaction summary, such as the bill type or reference, rather than the descriptions entered on individual bill lines. This can be useful for reviewing a supplier’s activity over a period, but we understand it doesn’t provide the line-by-line detail you’re looking for.
The Description column in the Account Transactions report also varies by account. For accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank accounts, it shows the contact name. For other accounts, it can show the contact name alongside the line description.
For line-by-line bill information, the Payable Invoice Detail report is the best option.
We’ll continue to track interest in this idea. Changing how the Description column works in…

Hi community, circling back on this idea we want to be upfront that we don’t have plans in the near term to add Description as a column in the Invoice list.
That said, we really appreciate everyone who shared their use cases, and our new JAX tool may help with many of these needs.
With JAX, you can ask questions about your invoices, such as:
- “Show me invoices from the last 30 days that include <product or description>”
- “Summarise my last 20 invoices in a table, including a summary of the product and/or description for each line item”
While we’re not planning to add this field directly to the Invoice list, I’d really encourage you to give JAX a try and see whether it helps achieve what you need here. Thanks

I have only been using Xero for 1.5 years now and it feels ridiculous that there isn't a one-click hub with ALL relevant data to a specific customer or supplier. Drop down filters for every type of transaction possible without having to produce reports or go through bank registers would be perfect. I would consider cheques, deposits, payments, invoices, credit notes, bills and purchase orders all helpful filters.
