    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.

    Yes, agree wholeheartedly. Please make tracking mandatory, as users tend to forget to assign them.

    Even though we can run the Account Transactions report and filter the tracking categories by 'Unassigned', to review and fix any transactions not assigned to tracking categories, it takes a long time during the month end closing process to do so. It is definitely easier to do it at source.

    Please keep us updated. Thanks Xero team.
