    Thanks for your interest and sharing your needs in being able to add a Contact to Manual journals you post in Xero. We know this is important for customers and enabling this capability is on our product team's roadmap.

    Right now, they're currently focused on other important items of work, however as soon as we're able to dedicate resource to this I'll be back with a further update to share progress with everyone, here.

    This is important for our organisation that is tracking grants made to individuals. In some cases the organisation acquires an item for the individual. At the moment, reporting by contact will not pick this up. I wanted to do a journal to assign this expense to the individual but can now see that the contact field is not available on the journal. This is a problem for us.

    Thanks for your passion and the detailed feedback on this idea, community. We can see how much time is spent manually consolidating tracking category budgets, and why having this roll-up automatically would make a big difference.

    As noted by others in the thread, one option for now is to use a third-party app from the Xero App Store. Some in the community have mentioned tools like Spotlight Reporting or Budget Consolidator are great for this, and it’s a good way to get the insights you’re after.

    While we understand the value this feature would add, it isn't on our immediate roadmap to build right now. We know that's not the news you're hoping for, but we want to be transparent about what's in our current focus - You can get a view of some of the changes coming in the next quarter through our website, The Long and Short of

    Budgets by tracking category simply are not practical without this. There has to be functionality to roll up budgets.

    Very inefficient - even if you cannot have an option, surely the default should be to sort by account code and not description.
