    Hi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement and support for the idea of making tracking categories mandatory in Xero. We really appreciate you sharing your insights on the benefits that adding this feature would bring to your financial reporting and month-end processes.

    Right now, you could use find and recode to assign a tracking option to any transaction lines that are currently unassigned. 

    Regarding the future of this idea, we've carefully reviewed all your feedback and the critical need you've expressed for this feature. While we understand the value and time-saving potential this improvement would bring, we want to be transparent that making tracking categories mandatory across all relevant transactions isn't on our roadmap for development. If our position of this changes in time, we'll share an update for everyone, here.

    Please add this feature! In our company tracking 1 is our departments which is required for every single transaction that gets entered. The time spent weekly/monthly running and reviewing reports just to check for unassigned tracking is time consuming. Further more, some of our departments have projects as category 2 which are also mandatory if their respective department has been selected.

    Building on this, our company uses tracking category 1 for departments and category 2 for projects under their respective departments. However, not all departments have projects. It would be useful to have tracking category 1 have an option to require tracking category 2.
