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.

    I also find that this would be useful when needing to click into a bill to check or edit it if ticked bills could stay ticked. It is extremely frustrating when having to start from the beginning each time re-ticking all of the previously checked invoices because they have become unticked. Doing this, or not checking invoices in doubt, would increase the likelihood of making mistakes due to the incorrect invoice being ticked. Not good business practice.

    As in awaiting payments can only currently select up to 200 bills, having an option to see all or be able to select bills on one page as well as another at the same time if there are over 200 bills.

    It would be super awesome to be able to build a batch payment using the Search bar to search add specific bills one at a time rather than having to scroll through long lists. Like the Find and Match feature in reconciliations. Also, super annoying when I want to batch a bill starting with A and a bill starting with Z but I can only view so many on a page so I have to make 2 batches as I lose the selection as soon as I change the page. Any developments to this?

    I pay over 300 bills in one transaction at the end of the month. it is a huge drama when you only allow to tick 200. i have been doing 2 or more batch payments which is time consuming. as each batch payment you have to follow the multiple prompts then go back to dashboard, then to awaiting payments, then search, dates etc etc. such a mission. also need a GO TO TOP/BOTTOM of the page tab. to scroll up or down is so 90's. :/

    I export our 20th payments into a spreadsheet so I have a summary per supplier. Our bills are becoming large and are excessing the lines available to show. Not having the ability to export our 20th payments in one spreadsheet and processing payments in more than 2 batches (3 last month) is extremely time consuming and frustrating. It is not an efficient way of working. Is there an addon that allows the consolidation of suppliers bills into one batch before payment?

    This is essential for businesses that make large number of payments - cannot believe this feature is not there...

  • Martine Hill commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not having this future makes it time consuming to process payments.

    I have given up waiting for this fix, I have gone to MYOB mainly because of this issue (amongst other program flaws).

  • Golly Keane commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be a great feature as it save me a lot of time paying the bills and sending multiple file to the bank instead of one.

  • Joe Seccull commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely, please look at this as soon as possible - a lot of businesses in this situation and would be very helpful.

    I myself run into problems as well as many MANY other clients of mine. It's so hard to do bill payments at end of month for businesses that get multiple bills per month. Not only can they not tick different invoices or suppliers on different pages, but also can't exceed 200 invoices in a batch. This is flawed and all other programs offer this functionality - This NEEDS to be fixed ASAP!!

    When you have multiple payments for suppliers each month it will save time and be much easier when creating batch payments that the invoices on previous page stay ticked.

  • Sammy Sessions commented  ·   ·  Report

    It will save so much time and create a Batch Payment so much easier, rather than creating a batch payment so many times in one day!

  • Michelle Vogelpoel commented  ·   ·  Report

    Its critical that Xero allows batch payments of more than 200 transactions. I have clients that have more than 200 transactions on one statement. This means I have to create two batch files for one supplier payment! - crazy

    Agree with this. Keep invoices that have been ticked - stay ticked and including more than 200 bills in one batch.

  • Kate Feldman commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's absolutely ridiculous, there should be way to do more than 200 bills in one batch.

  • Sam Reeves commented  ·   ·  Report

    Being able to select bills for a batch payment across multiple pages.
    Our end of month payments consist of more than 200 Invoices to pay so would be good to be able to select all invoices instead of only 200 at a time
