Totally agree with Supun - Xero should easily be able to cope with a batch of more than 200 bills. It is basic. Although I have noticed a lot of basic features missing on Xero, like selecting date ranges on some layouts, only available by paying for add ons. If Xero keeps restricting basic features to 'optional extras' then it'll become useless for us.

This should be a priority (can't understand how do they say this isn't a focus at the moment)as it creates extra work and make it complex to make monthly payment batches which involves 1000's of bills. As this has been a concern for couple of years and If you can't fix this sooner, please at least increase the number of bills shown in a page to 1,000, not currently showing 200.For example Xero Aged Payables details report shows up to 1,000 invoices per page. Please act quicker!

Surely this can't be too complicated to implement -- will save a lot of people a lot of time!

Please update your priorities! - this has been requested since 2012! that's 13 years of being ignored. And especially as over those years the digital uptake in business documents is HUGE! - This is vital! Please provide an update from Xero!

Please prioritise this development, we are a large business and the items per page needs to be increased to avoid excessive time spent creating multiple batch payments

Xero has merged the two separate requests to increase batch limit from 200, and to allow a filter on batches. I can see how a filter can help to reduce batch size to under 200 in some cases. But by combining both these requests into one, that just creates a larger job. Hence the new response now that no action is being taken:o)

Not sure of the reason for the limit - can't see any response from Xero. But 200 seems a very low number to limit businesses to.

I also agree with Sharelle Jacobsen, the ability to filter out suppliers would be extremely useful. I have over 500 invoices in the system every month and if there was more flexibility in being able to filter out suppliers, it would be very helpful.

I also have clients that have a large number of supplier invoices so really need the bills item number limit to be increased to avoid multiple batch payments.

I would also like the filtering in Bills to include the ability to hide a supplier, to improve the batch payment creation process.

I agree - we regularly have payment runs with more than 200 bills so have to split the payment run up.

I agree- we are processing our employee expenses which all go into the batch payment individually itemised and there are always more than 200 so we have to do each page at a time and then create the payment file for each page.

It would help if the system would either group them together for the employee so it shows the total sum for that person instead if individually itemised OR we had the ability to select more than 200 in one go

My request is quite basic.....if the screen view is 100, retain the ticked bills when moving to the next page. At the moment when moving to page 2 you lose those that are ticked & have to start all over again! And if searching by supplier and ticking bills to be paid, retain those that are ticked so you can then search on another supplier and retain the ticked bills for each search.

Why is this not a priority to fix? This is a basic Accounts Payable function - it's not just helpful it's really important ... the same as a creditors' activity statement. Both have been issues for years now.

Dammit. This hasn't been a focus for over the three years I've been griping about it. Seems that Xero is still focused on cutsie bells and whistles stuff while ignoring the fact that, for it's users, Xero sucks. Fix the issues that impede your users ability to efficiently execute their jobs. And quit sending out the propoganda emails touting how great Xero is. We users don't share the sentiment that you guys are shoveling.

This is important to me

We are not even a large business, however we always have way more than 200 creditor invoices and since Xero has even more issues and is not able to find all contacts with the same word in the name (eg "Capricorn"), then it makes setting up payments a nightmare.

This is a must for larger size businesses :)

I also concur with all the users on this thread. This is a real issue for those of us with suppliers who have over 200 bills for the month. I am not sure why this is not being looked into or actioned as it appears Xero has been well aware of this for some time.

In bills to pay! Be able to search and select multiple invoices to create a remittance.

Currently if you select one and then search for another, the previous selected one is deleted.

Please can this be developed and actioned asap, I am in the same position with suppliers having over 200 invoices for payment, I have to split payments then it messes up the bank import feed as it will not find the matched payment and the remittance looks incredibly messy to our supplier.

Xero could widen it's customer base to support larger business's with this development.
