   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.

   Hey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and we want to acknowledge how important this is for many of you.

   Atm, we’re on a long journey to provide more controls within Xero features that our customers need. Being such a broad idea that touches many areas of our platform, we’d like to encourage adding your votes to specific user permissions that matter most to you, such as:

   • Bank Accounts: For more control over who can see bank account balances and access specific accounts, please see the idea here: User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
   • Sales and Invoicing: If you’d like to see changes to permissions around sales reporting and editing invoice templates, you can follow that conversation here: User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
   • Reports: To have your say on restricting access to specific reports, the relevant idea is here: User permissions - Assign user access to specific reports

   This change will allow us to focus on the more specific requests to explore. If you don’t see the user permission you’re after, raise a new idea here.

   We're thankful for the time and effort you've put into sharing your thoughts on this. Your feedback is valuable, and helps us better understand the priorities and needs of the community as we continue to evolve Xero.
