Invoice Reminders - Auto email Statements to customers
Ability to send an automatic statement to customer
Purpose: To prevent late payment from customer

Thanks for your support on the idea, everyone. We thoroughly appreciate your participation, and letting us know where you'd like to see change across Xero.
Customer statements, is an area of Xero that needs upgrades to it's technology in order to make ideas like this one here possible.
Currently, while we have plans for modernising this space soon we cannot commit to any new developments for Statements until this work has been complete. Once this has been done I'll round back to the idea here when we can reset the objectives.

Agreed, this should be a basic choice to allow for an AUTOMATIC sending of monthly statement programmed for a specific day of the month to manage cash flow. I am truly surprised it is not available in Xero as every statement monthly or not, is manual and costly to my business.

I don't understand how this is not a feature yet? Ohh there is an app for that, really? Why do we need an app for something that should be a basic part of Xero... and who developed this app?
Is this what Xero do now... Cherry pick the most requested features, develop an external app that plugs back into Xero, all so they can add on an extra monthly fee?

Im sure quick books already offer this - your software is great but this is a feature that should have been added from the start

Come on Xero. So many of us think being able to choose when and to whom statements are sent automatically, surely this should now be a feature?

Seems a very obvious omission, I got here by trying to figure it out as I assumed it would exist!!

Xero automates so much, why can't this be automated as well to save customers time?
Seems like such a simple thing to do. -

Would like to see this feature

Theres a new plugin for Xero that does this called Statey:
It can be configured to send weekly, or monthly. It also enables you to customise the statement with things like 30-60-90 day aging.

This is an important to our customers who want statements, and as a basic accounting function, it seems logical to be able to do this.

Come on Xero this should be a standard feature. For us we don't need it as much to send out but some of our suppliers are unable to send us regular statements each month and I have to remind THEM to send one when I do the supplier payment runs for our restaurant which is really annoying!

How are scheduled statements not a thing yet?
It would save a lot of time for everyone to have statements go out on their specified date! -

Upvoting this!! +++++
I have a customer who requires end-of-month statements. All my invoices with them are automated so this is the ONLY manual part -- and is very tedious to set a reminder to myself to do it every single month.
The feature would need to have a way to lock the start of the date range and cutomise the end of the date range.

This would save a lot of time, unsure why XERO don't have this function, people have been talking about it for years.
Clients paying bills on-time is as important as having a quality accounts package
if set for 14 days it should email at 15 days and you should have the option to send it at a set time, with auto reminders set at a choice of ever day, 2 days 3 days etc automated time setting is better. -

I cannot really believe that Xero does not have this yet, I mean this is a basic feature to be able to send out automatic statements. Doing it manually wastes time and also has the risk to be forgotten which makes some customers angry as they require monthly statements.

Who has time to do a manual statement run each month? With many clients wanting statements sending out this would save a huge amount of time.

Many Customers require their statements by a certain date, sometimes meetings, or leave, come up and I am unable to meet this criteria. It would be really great to "set and forget"

We have 2000+ customers. This function will be a life saver.

This would be a great feature for us.

Some customers do not want all their invoices sent separately and want a Statement sent once a month. As I help out with this business for love it is quite hard to keep track of which customers want statements and then to make sure it is sent. Busy with children and full time work is hard enough, being able to choose between invoice reminders and statement reminders would make a massive difference and would free up a lot of time.
