Extremely important feature - with more than 200 entries over multiple pages only being able to select 1 page at a time to be batch is so time consuming for both business owners and bookkeepers. Why doesn't the batch report have the transactions per supplier with a total - if prints in random order see attached as example.

I have several suppliers who frequently have more than 200 bills outstanding, sometimes over 400 therefore this will eradicate the need for multiple payment files

We have some very large clients who receive multiple invoices for payment each month and this will make our lives much easier plus will eradicate multiple payment files

Was told yesterday it's not changing and it's because of bank files. Over 200 then errors can occur.

Not knowing if this help.
After selecting say 60 bills, put the "payment plan date" say 31.10.2023.
Continue doing the selecting of bills to be paid, say another 80 bills put the same plan date 31.10.2023.
Once you have selected all the bills to be paid and have put the plan payment date, go to Business-bills to pay-filter the plan date 31.10.2023, you got the whole list of bills that you are going to pay, select all of them and do your payment run ?

Hey all you users out there. As was pointed out below, this issue has been raised for over two years and, nothing but crickets. As for this portal....this is just something put out there so we users will feel that we have a voice and some influence. Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but, and Xero has made it quite obvious, THEY DON'T CARE!!!!! It's obvious that they're going to keep making cute changes that don't really do anything but make users lives more difficult and continue to ignore us users that have to deal with all their current and "in the works" issues that make using their software difficult and time consuming. I'm sure that you're all in the same boat as I am. If I could change platforms I would in a minute. In the meantime, we're all just going to have to come to terms with the fact that the software sucks, we have to deal with it, and the folks at Xero will continue to ignore our cries from the wilderness.

This has now been requested for almost 2 years. I can't see the point of this request system if nothing gets acted on.
Meanwhile Xero messes around with functions and screens that previously worked perfectly and makes everything more difficult to use.
Xero a few years ago was excellent, now it's pretty ordinary.

This is so annoying and prone to errors not to mention so time-consuming. This makes me feel like I would be better off without Xero and processing manually.

When considering other basic features that are missing from Xero, I feel like this program has been designed by a ComputerTek rather than an accountant.

This needs to be at the top of list, limiting the selection of bills to 200 is just silly. So time consuming making various batches instead of just one.

This would be a big improvement. It is currently very time-consuming requiring sometimes 4 or 5 batches because when you complete a payment, the same bills don't come up on the same page.

I'm with you Margaret. If I had the power to ditch Xero I would in a heartbeat too. I've used many accounting platforms and batch processing of cash receipts with the ability to choose any and all outstanding invoices and do it in one transaction was standard. I'm sure that the Sage offerings, Quick Books Pro and others in the same price range as Xero have this capability.

Yes I fully agree, this functionality is on a "wish list" while they continue to stuff up every change that is made. Xero was very good in the beginning and now they've lost the plot. Every change they make is not properly tested and introduces new bugs which you then have to request a change for wtf?? I would change to another provider in a heart beat if they offered what Xero had a few years ago before they messed it all up.

Sorry folks but having software that is user friendly and has basic accounting functionality doesn't seem to be where Xero is at. Looks like they're more interested in creating cute screens and pushing WOKE agendas than fixing their **** software. Way to go Xero. You truly suck.

It is a required functionality and it makes the process more efficient and time saving.

Awaiting payments: To Add an option to see 1000 items per page in Awaiting payments to able to make one batch.

I have the exact same problem and it is so annoying. Xero really need to rectify this problem. My old accounting program, which was ancient, had no problem with paying off any amount of bills.

Batchpay add-on may help with this... Extra cost might make sense for some businesses.

100% Yes

This needs to be a priority

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.
