Batch Payments - Bills stays selected/ticked on multiple pages
Ability to make the invoices that have been ticked in the previous page stays ticked.
Purpose: Because it’ll save users’ time when they’re doing batch payments, especially when they have to tick all the invoices across multiple pages.

Thanks for your contributions and voting on this idea, community. While we're seriously taking on board your feedback for how and why being able to hold selections across pages would be helpful when processing batch payments, we want to be open that this isn't a focus area for product at this time.
We'll continually reassess ideas where there's opportunity, so please keep adding your votes and interest, here. If there's any development planned we'll be certain to share this with you all.

Agreed! every month I am having to do multiple batches because of the 200 limit. Plus if bank charges you per transaction, then you are being charged twice because Xero can't do it in a single transaction.

Agree this is an important part of a growing business. Limits like this make me wonder if our business has outgrown Xero. I don't want to move to another provider but may need to consider in the future if these limits remain.

Im not sure why there was a limit in the first place! This is important and wastes time for myself and the directors who will need to authorise payment release twice.

This is important - such a time waster having to do 2x uploads.

Awaiting payment - max 200 bills.
I have a supplier who I pay monthly and there are always over 200 bills. I want to make one batch payment for the whole amount, but currently I have to do it on two - the first 200 bills, and then the remaining. Please can this 200 limit be increased? -

Really important for the business

Has there been any update yet? @Xero?
There has been recently some updates in Xero but nothing featuring this issue
Every single time doing a batch payment I have to decide which invoices to pay separate as I only can choose of 200 items

This is also a restriction in processing cash receipts. Invoices to clear based on a days cash receipts requires me to create multiple cash receipts batches. I received five checks the other day and, because of where the invoices fell between screens, I was forced to make five separate deposit records. Ridiculous, hun??? The limit of 200 items per screen and the inability to select multiple items over multiple screens is arbitrary and ridiculous. This should be basic functionality of the software and we users shouldn't be having to wait for the developers to get around to addressing this issue. This is something that should have been fixed before they ever launched version one of Xero.

This feature would be so useful. When I first starting using Xero it seemed incredulous that what was ticked on previous pages didn't stay ticked .It is very time consuming as it requires figuring out a range of dates to try to fit all bills you are wanting to pay on the same page and sometimes you can't so you may need to do separate batches.
Thank you for fixing the planned date so bills ticked no longer become unticked... it was incredibly frustrating and has made a huge difference to time spent paying bills. Likewise fixing this issue will make a big difference. -

Wasting a lot of time processing multiple batches due to page limit, this seems like a reasonably easy fix Xero?
-
Matt Lowe commented
Having to create multiple batch payments and upload them to the bank separately is frustrating, simply because you can't display any more than 200 individual bills from within Xero.

This is critical for a larger business. If your weekly creditors run into millions its unlikely that the invoices you need to pay are on one page. Sort it out Xero!!
-
Shelley Sames commented
This is a very good idea - it is annoying to lose everthing that has been ticked when you move to a dfferent page.
Please also can the bills stay ticked when a planned date is added - it's time consuming and frustrating to have to retick each bill you had planned on paying .

Hi, this would be very useful to our clients who have large supplier payment runs as they are currently having to raise these in several smaller batches.
-
Marta Lopez commented
This is extremely important for us as we have big payment runs.
At the moment duplicates our workload -

Our business struggles to mark all invoices which need to be paid in one go

I've just come across from MYOB due to Xero sales invoices importation/ which suits my application.However - I really don't like XEROs supplier payment system - very tedious. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

It is incredibly frustrating and time consuming to have to re tick all the bills after entering the planned date ... this is a change for the worse and not the better. It really needs to be changed back asap!
I suspect way more than 53 people would want this to change ... I just think people don't necessarily know about this suggestion area (I have only found out) so the number of people voting for it shoudn't be seen as an indication of how important it is ... I would have voted prior to now had I known. -

I wholeheartedly agree with Zivile Asakaviciene's comment
This is essential for businesses that make large numbers of payments - I cannot believe this feature is not there...
