Hi everyone, we appreciate wanting more control of which users have access to manual journals.
As you may have seen we've recently released new reporting permissions so you can grant access to Sales Reports or Purchase Reports only, without opening the full Reporting Centre.
At this stage we don't have plans for developing an incremental permission for Manual Journals, however we're continuing to keep a close eye on ideas in the these forums as our permissions journey evolves. I'll be sure to update if there's any news.

Thanks for the additional feedback on this idea, and apologies for the time since our last update.
As noted in the discussion, the Description column doesn’t show the same information in every Xero report. In the Supplier Activity report, it shows a transaction summary, such as the bill type or reference, rather than the descriptions entered on individual bill lines. This can be useful for reviewing a supplier’s activity over a period, but we understand it doesn’t provide the line-by-line detail you’re looking for.
The Description column in the Account Transactions report also varies by account. For accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank accounts, it shows the contact name. For other accounts, it can show the contact name alongside the line description.
For line-by-line bill information, the Payable Invoice Detail report is the best option.
We’ll continue to track interest in this idea. Changing how the Description column works in…

We need our descriptions available at the report level!!! AND we need clarity about WHICH description, since that same term is used in multiple places for completely different things.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback here. We appreciate there are more details some in the idea here would like to see around reporting of Purchase orders in Xero.
We wanted to highlight for those in the conversation that it may help - There are Purchase order common formats in the Payable Invoice Detail report that you could use.
For example, in the All purchase orders detail report, you can add a column to show the account, tracking and any other line item info you need.
We want to be open that we don't have any plans right now for additional Purchase order reporting, however we'll continue to keep an eye on the idea here and share if there is any news.

Hi everyone, thanks for being a part of the conversation on filtering Profit and Loss reports by contact. We understand how this could make digging into profitability a bit easier.
There is currently the Income & Expenses by Contact report that’ll show where you’ve incurred expenses or received income or funds for each contact. You could also Group or Filter this report by contact with the ability to drill down to the transactions related to each amount.
Alternatively, some people in the discussion have also kindly shared their method which may help others.
Our product team has reviewed this idea, and while this may be a development we consider in the longer term it isn’t roadmapped at this stage. We’ll continue to keep an ear on the ground here and share if there are any updates.

Thanks for the detail in your idea here, Paul. I had a bit of a test of this myself and have checked in with our reporting team.
It doesn't quite appear in the modal once the report's run - this is something that we'll look to improve.
However, it's possible to enter multiple terms which will each be searched and return results for (like OR as an operator) - All you need to do is enter a comma(,) and space between each condition.
For example A0, L0 or A0, A1, A2, 🙂

Hi team, thanks for your feedback here. While we are in the process of releasing a new Manual Journals experience, I want to be open that searching by description has not been incorporated into this work.
We are continuing to keep a track of interest for this here and if any plans are made we'll update you here.
An alternative option would be to run the Journal report, where you can include Description as a column and also filter the report to search text that the description you're looking for contains.

Hi team, we appreciate the conversation however we want to be open that we don't have any short term plans for changing the export of Manual Journals in the near term.
Not getting a lot of community support over time, this idea will soon be removed. If it something you feel very passionate about you are welcome to restart and see if there is renewed interest from the community.

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…

I don't want bookkeeper to do manual journals but i DO want her to do and view reporting. If i turn off manual journals it automatically turns OFF reporting - and visa versa. Every time I turn 'Edit manual journals' off it turns OFF ability to do reporting
