Enter your idea

I get 100s of credit notes a day having to do this individually is such a waste of time and should absolutely be a feature. Major weakness for Xero and massive time waster all round.

Xero is so bad at many tasks that other finance systems manage so easily. Comparing this inability to bulk allocate overpayments issue in Xero to the ease of doing the same thing in both QB and Sage is unbelievably frustrating. Bulk allocation should be a no-brainer, and this is surely not too complex to resolve!

Is this progressing at all? It is mindless allocating 100's of credit notes one at a time

Xero Please if you can make this happen for us we'd probable move all our clients to Xero, but this functionality is definitely a problem area and we all would appreciate some feed back or action towards such an important request.

Xero is really good is so many ways but REALLY bad at so many simple things that could be implemented which would say a lot of time!

On this point it takes me so long to enter a $2000 credit note where the average invoice amount is about $20, thats 100 entries I need to select one by one.

Same goes with entering a payment in to a supplier. I pay say 10k to one (no full amount for the month) and I need to go one by one to select each invoice until the 10k is reached.

Really disappointing.

Xero communication is non-existent on this and many other issues. One of the worst companies Ive ever had the misfortune to deal with from this aspect. They just do not seem to understand basic everyday bookkeeping tasks that their clients need to deal. This along with alot of other missing basic functionality and errors they don't even see as being errors (future dated payments in the cash flow forecast for example) is why we are currently investigating other software to move away from Xero

Julie, it's a shame that a basic time saving function like this can't be addressed...the least Xero could do would be to explain why not?

Jason - no nothing is happening - and nothing has ever happened on this subject and the "idea" has been around for years - yet another missing basic functionality in Xero

Is anything happening with this?

Please can we just click the boxes on multiple credits and apply to one invoice
Opening each credit to apply to an invoice is so very time consuming

This is needed

it's a must-have feature.

I feel like I am wasting a lot of time having to copy & paste something that should at the very least have a shortcut key to autofill. RSI here I come from all the double clicking to copy & paste!

Would make my life easier. Please do this... I am begging

We issues hundreds (sometimes thousands) of invoices each month and issue hundreds of credits. The ability to bulk allocate credits against a customer's account would dramatically speed up processing.

Another month of going through supplier by supplier, allocating one credit note at a time to each supplier, to then be able to go and pay their monthly bill. This is sooooooo frustrating and slow!! Xero support, we really need you to look at this, it's a simple coding change!! So many other programs have done this for years, it's such a very backwards step to not be able to just click on every invoice and credit note and make one payment including all of them. Like others have said, most credit notes actually pertain to already paid invoices, so allocating them to now owing invoices makes no actual sense on any planet.

This is critical to our business as we have a very large volume of invoices and credit notes...is there a timeline for when this might be possible please?

It is very time-consuming having to click into each credit and apply to a bill. A solution is desperately needed for this.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue? It's hard to believe that Sage can do this and Xero cannot.

It would be great if Xero allowed you to batch allocate credit notes to invoices instead of having to allocate one credit note at a time.
