    When reviewing quarterly and annual figures from the Profit and Loss report’s account transactions, we currently have to click into each Xero Me app expense to see the description and confirm it’s coded correctly. Expenses entered via bank feeds or bills display descriptions properly in the Account Transactions report, but Xero Me submissions do not.

    This inconsistency makes it difficult to quickly identify and verify transactions without drilling into each one. Competing platforms such as MYOB, QuickBooks, and HandiLedger display expense descriptions consistently, regardless of how the expense was entered.

    An internal workaround suggests entering the description manually in the Reference field for Xero Me expenses, but this is not practical, it forces users to duplicate information and increases the risk of errors.

    Proposed Idea:
    Ensure that descriptions from Xero Me expenses appear automatically in the Account Transactions report (P&L view) and bank account view, just like other expense types. This would save time, reduce errors, and make quarterly and annual reviews far more efficient.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing how a detailed Profit and Loss report could support your workflow.

    Atm, the Account Transactions report can be run grouped and filtered by Account, which could then be exported to Excel for further sorting and analysis. While we appreciate it takes a few steps, it can give you the transaction-level detail you’re after.

    Alternatively, clicking on any figure in the Profit and Loss report will take you directly to the corresponding Account Transactions report, showing the individual transactions that make up that total.

    Our product team has moved this idea to Not in pipeline, meaning it isn't on the foreseeable roadmap. However, the idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to monitor community interest as we plan for the future.
