Enter your idea

After only using Xero for 7 months, unfortunately I will be moving to another accounting platform for this main reason. It has added such a huge amount of wasted time to our department. None of the issues reported here ever seem to get worked on which is unacceptable for a global accounting service.

Customers have been waiting on this FOREVER. Why can this not be made possible asap?

Hi Dave,

If you are based in the UK please have a look at our certified Xero app as we streamline foreign payment runs and do much more to simplify foreign finances.

It would be great to be able to pay multiple invoices which are in a different currency in one payment, instead of having to enter multiple payments. My client has multi currency books in Xero. USD is not our primary currency.

This is VERY overdue as a function in Xero. More than 10 years ago, our previous software had this ability

We badly need a batch payment facility for multiple invoices from one supplier in a foreign currency. It is a total pain having to pay individually, then at a later date, reconcile them individually, when they actually go through our currency account as a single transaction.

Having to mark one bill at a time as paid if in foreign currency is BAD. Please let bulk bills be marked as paid if paid in a group from a bank account.

Foreign currency payments, in bulk - the ability to clear more then one bill and mark as paid on 'bill payments' screen - in ALL currencies.

We have multiple suppliers in a different country where batch payments often occur. Having these supported in Xero would be valuable. Thanks.

Thanks, Nigel. Firstly, I agree it would be easier if Xero fixed it. In the meantime, however, HedgeFlows would do pretty much what you described - sync back to Xero with individual invoices paid and send remittance notes with a list of invoices covered. I think Crezco (in the UK) and Paytron (in AU) also can do something similar.

Thanks Alex. While that's a fine tool for some, it's not what this request is about. Many of us already have foreign bank accounts - we don't need to create a forex batch and buy currency. If we have currency accounts, it's ludicrous that we have to pay every invoice singularly. Putting aside potential complexity around different banking systems and creating a batch to upload (which I don't actually think is any issue at all), I'm just talking about manually paying more than one invoice at a time, and creating a remittance advice that has multiple items on it. There is absolutely nothing complex about it and I don't understand at all why this really simple fix isn't just done.

Hi all,

There are several providers for this already around the world - check certified Payments apps in the Xero marketplace in your region.

HedgeFlows for instance can do payment runs in 30 currencies, help save on fx conversions and SWIFT fees, as well as help automate currency cost and risk management for larger businesses.

I am ready to pay right now for these feature, why it is so big problem to implement it?

This idea is nearly 10 years old!!! My god, Xero, will you ever do it??

It would be great to have the ability to have bank upload files with international bank details for international clients and those making payments abroad.

ASAP

Yes its a nonsense that Xero have not added this feature yet. If you truly want to serve the globe then you need to invest in these very basic issues.

Hi There,

We are a recruitment business paying a lot of contractors in EUR as well as having clients paying us in EUR and probably in the future USD as the area of trading will extend.

It is vital to be able to make electronic international payments from our bank currency bank account which at the moment it is not possible, this is done manually by creating templates on the bank portal and then allocate the payments against the supplier. So just paying the currency supplier requires a lot of time consuming.

Also we would expect to be able to create a file for international payments to be able to upload it on to the bank like we can do for the local currency. All supplier have already the financial details in Xero so why is it so difficult to be able to create a bank file for the currency suppliers?

Multi Currency (Foreign Currency) bills being able to be included in a batch payments, or a way to send remittance for multiple multi currency invoices in one go.
