I also agree with Andrew. Xero, you have missed the point yet again!
We pay our FX directly through NAB to take advantage of the exchange rate fluctuations. All we want from Xero is the ability to do a batch for those paid invoices so we can send remittance advice on the day and not wait until the following day to reconcile the bank. We also 'pay' a lot of foreign invoices via a clearing account as it comes off our remittance for invoices we've issued. We do not actually make the payment but would like to use the batch method to record it.

Agree with Andrew - I don't think making the payments via Xero is the focus - being able to match a payment out of the bank to multiple currency invoices would be the ideal solution.
We pay all our FX suppliers via Convera, we do daily payments which can be 1 to 50 invoices at a time - it is frustrating when you have multiple currencies as we then have to go into each invoice, mark it as paid, then go and reconcile.
If we only pay one currency, we are able to select all of the invoices being paid from the reconciliation screen which is a much quicker process.

I don't believe this is what is being asked for. You seem to be offering a method that relies on payment via Xero's chosen provider Crezco. What we need is the ability to batch foreign payments in USD or EUR from an existing GBP bank account in Xero. This would mean we can post payment and send remittances when making payments, rather than having to wait for the GBP payment to show up in the bank feed and reconcile it so the payment is posted and remittances become avaialble.

Where’s the form for Beta?

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.

Adding our vote to this feature. It is somewhat amazing that Xero charges a preimum for its service, but then ignores pretty simple and basic functionality for years. The first comment on this feature request dates back over 2 years.

Possibly part of the frustration with Xero is that there's zero road map or information provided to its user base as to when these features are likely to be considered, built, tested, released etc. So that builds resentment.

But there's obviously enough new customers signing up that they don't care if they start to lose some because features like this never get built and they treat us like mushrooms with respect to communcation.

Is there any update on the functionality for multicurrency batch payments of foreign currency bills? This is a fundamental feature that should be provided, especially given our subscription.

It is extremely time-consuming to process foreign currency payments one by one. Could you please clarify what the software development team is doing to address this issue?

I can't believe that this hasn't been sorted out. How else can we get a batch payment file to upload to the bank Xero? Is it on a road map anywhere yet? It is fundamental for most firms already paying for your foreign currency plan

This is a critical need. The inability to batch pay foreign currency creates a significant bottleneck for our clients with international activity. So much so that we are considering not using Xero for these clients as other platforms do this (and foreign currency JEs). The time it takes for our team to work through and around these limitations is significant and clients are not happy with the passed-on billing costs of our extra time.

We have been processing payments in Foreign currency pretty much since we moved from MYOB to Xero.. The fact that we cant process a batch payment when you can process single invoice payments is beyond ridiculous and a big disadvantage when our overseas suppliers need a remittance to be sent with the payment. Makes Xero look unprofessional

Seems like a pretty basic requirement - i was very surprised this wasnt possible.

Can't understand why this wouldn't be available when it can be done in domestic currency. Would be a massive help to have this consistent across all currencies used.

Very inconvenient not having this feature. It would be good to have this again

This would be a great time saver if it can be added.

I have a bank account set up in the foreign currency. Surely I should be able to pay invoices in bulk from that bank account that is in the same currency? I can understand it being complicated if you are paying suppliers in multiple currencies, but if all invoices are in the same currency and the bank account you are paying from is in that currency this should be easy peasy!

At the very least i need to send remittance advise to US suppliers listing all invoices that have been paid in a pay run. I understand it is difficult to make this a batch file payment to overseas accounts. The option to batch pay and send a single remittance should be an option.

This would be a great time saver when dealing with foreign currency payments.

Please add - would be a very useful feature and massive time saver!

this is needed, most companies in Australia need to deal with foreign companies
