    Hi team! We've been following the conversation here and appreciate you taking the time to explain the need for this feature.

    We understand you’re looking for a way to change the default setting for the ‘Show journal on cash basis reports’ checkbox in manual journals, so that it’s unticked, and that having this box ticked by default can create inaccurate cash basis reports, which is particularly challenging when you’re correcting entries or dealing with a high volume of journals.

    We may look into this with a finer lens further down the line, but want to share that there's no immediate works planned to enable changing the default for whether a journal is Cash basis.

    As many of you have noted, right now you'll need to manually untick the box for each journal entry.

    If any change is planned for this we'll be sure to share with you all, here.

    I believe this is the only thing I want fixed with Xero. Please attend to this asap. who ever thought it was a good idea to default to cash obviously has never ever worked as an accountant or accounts clerk.!!!
