Multicurrency- Batch payments of Foreign Currency Bills.
Batch payments of Foreign Currency Bills.
Dear Xero,
Please consider the feature of being able to batch up foreign currency Bills. We often pay multiple invoices in one go, having to reconcile and mark as paid 10 invoices is extremely time consuming.
Hi everyone, thank you for all the interest and we appreciate the needs for those using foreign currency to have more efficiency in how you process these bills for payment. Your feedback and votes here have not gone unnoticed - We have a team that have been doing some ground work in this space and at this time we have beta that we'd like to invite any UK customers to join and feedback to our team on the experience. If you'd like to be a part of this please fill in our form here and we'll be in touch.
We appreciate this idea is farther reaching than UK alone and while the beta is limited to this region for the time being, based on results we will look at expanding this to other places.
We'll keep you updated of further developments here.

I have moved my main business back to Zoho because there has been no engagement from Xero on this issue.
There are many good points to Xero and if developers were listening it could be incredible.
Batch payments in foreign currency was a deal breaker for me.

This is ridiculous. I'm a new victim unfortunately.
It is very interesting to know what accounting software does Xero currently use?
I don't believe they use Xero as it can't handle foreign currency transactions by a batch payment. Yeah yeah yeah!!!
Please tell us what accounting software you are using, then we all switch to that!!!!!!!!!

Xero don't appear to be listening, i see probably 1 complaint a week about this since i complained back in july but still nothing is done.
Perhaps it is time to change to a listening company! -

Absolutely ridiculous that this function is not available. Every month we have approx 100 invoices that we pay in 1 payment and to individually allocate the payment to each bill seems like we're back in the 90's. PLEASE XERO, make this function available. It seems a lot of users are having the same issue, why is it not a priority?!

Really surprised this is not already a function bearing in mind the amount of online multi currency retail transactions that take place. I have hundreds of supplier invoices that I will now have to allocate payments against individually. Doesn't make a strong case when I am trying to encourage my client base to use Xero

I can’t believe that after all this time that users who pay for the multi currency xero package still don’t have full functionality as offered by other software. Xero have really surprised me with their lack of interest in this.

As we often receive multiple invoices from same supplier it would be extremely helpful to be able to batch payments. it is very tedious to have to enter in all individually

We do 15-25 payments in USD all at once and its a very tedious task to go into each one and mark it as paid and add the same echange rate to each and every one.
We should be able to batch pay them and enter in 1 exchange rate and 1 date for them.
Thanks

I pay for the multi currency xero package - I expect to get what I pay for

This missing function causes additional work for the team

Not at all happy with the response, i pay for a premium service so expect the full benefit of a premium service which includes the foreign currency. I should not have to go round the houses to achieve the end goal, i pay for it to make my life easier.

Very disappointed with Xero's lack on interest on such a fundamental task. Work rounds are very time consuming and open to error. Why would an international accounting software provider selling a module to include currency function not get the reports for this working seamlessly. Not happy and actually embarrassing having to explain to clients the issues, when I sold Xero to them as the best in business!

This is a basic function!! How on earth is this not available yet. We have recently done a conversion for a client from Sage who are now imediately reverting back due to the lack of this function. They pay multiple foreign currency invocies and send remittances however, Xero cannot do this without messing about. Awful.

why would foreign currency batch payments not be allowed? there seems to be no logical reason.
At the very least, you can limit foreign currency batch payments to made from bank accounts with the same foreign currency ! -

If a suitable solution for handling multiple foreign currency bills is not available, we will be left with no choice but to pursue an alternative system. This requirement holds paramount significance for us as it directly impacts our ability to efficiently manage the regular inflow and outflow of international bills. Therefore, it stands as a crucial necessity for the smooth operation of our business.

The inability to do this would have prevented me from making the switch to Xero at the start of this year. I receive and pay multiple bills in Euro every week

I see! Marking invoices in multiple currencies as paid is a natural part of the workflow we already do so happy to make it available on our platform for free use if this is such a frequent problem for Xero users.
Just email me at alex@hedgeflows.com if you are interested and we look at enabling if there is enough demand.
