Just to let everyone know on this thread, in case it is helpful - because of this glaring omission in Xero, we moved to using Nook (now Modular AP) to do our payment runs - which syncs with Xero. It sends remittance automatically, gives suppliers access to see past payments made via a 'portal' accessed via the link in the email, and is 1 charge per month rather than per transaction, so saves us money. Its a bit like an online bank account, so we load it with the funds for the run, and then pay. We also use it for Payroll after doing the payslips in Xero, it syncs to Nook for payment. Cheers

it is extremely rare that you don't need to send a remittance so to have it automatically sent would save so much time, and clicks. this would be hugely beneficial.

There should be a setting for each contact to turn on Automatic Remittance Notes, together with the choice of which email template to use. The current system is so clunky and time consuming when your doing a large payment run, with 3 or 4 clicks needed to send each remittance note.

This should be a feature that is included to help with efficiency and avoid having to manually send remittance notices after payments are made. It defeats the purpose of having automatic Payments, if I then have to remember to log in and manually send a remittance notice. Xero- please make this feature available in 2025!

Wow, I'm new to Xero. I'm very surprised how buried the Send Remittance function is. It would make perfect sense to me if the function was available after processing the payment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agree this should be a standard, basic feature on any serious accounting package now.
How about a pop up that appears once the payment is reconciled with two options, both of which can be invoked, i.e. not either / or but either / and.
1) Send Remittance Advice
2) Send final VAT invoice (e.g. when the first one was a Pro-Forma). -

Hey Xero team,
This is getting a lot of traction (Rightly so), it would be great if we knew if there is a solution being implemented --> this will help our business and many others I would imagine to look for an alternative automation
Thanks -
Hanna Cesare commented
this should be a standard feature. A pop up or something should come up after reconciling the payment

This would be such a great idea, it's super annoying to reconcile a payment and then manually send a tax invoice to a customer

Crazy this doesn't exist. So crazy that Meta AI has just told me you can do it. Being let down all over the place.

I thought I was doing something wrong.
This seems like a fundamental and simple automation feature. I can't believe it has not been implemented.

Only been waiting 3+ years for this 🤪

Automatic sending of remittance upon reconciliation should be a base feature. Ensure that all remittances are sent and none are missed.
-
Steve Webb commented
Yes that's true Shane - I thought it was just my system.
Automatic one needs to be implemented but meantime a must is to have the pop up box to send after payment made.
-
Shane Drinkwater commented
This always happened, but the remittance would pop up and you could click on send the remittance and tick the send me a copy option, but the last week this has disappeared,

Steve Webb commented
This is needed sooner rather than later please

Alicia Jackman commented
