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.

Alex, is about marking the the Bills as paid which are expressed in multi currency not GBP and in batches within Xero nothing to do with individual's banks batch payments. In my case anyway.

Thank you very much for your feedback, Sarah and MoGio Bookkeeping.

I would argue it is not Xero but your bank providers that would have to do the work first. I imagine it is hard for Xero to support payments with 100s of payment providers worldwide in multiple currencies, when many banks don't yet support batch payments in foreign currencies (most only support flat file uploads for foreign payments).

At the same time, as you can see from the video, batch payments can be done with Xero invoices - you CAN process batch payments, and we create specific payments for your invoices in Xero, auto-reconciling them (see screenshot). We also can generate remittances for you without you having to wait for the overnight bank feeds. So it CAN be done with your Xero ledger, and as you can see from the reviews for our app (https://apps.xero.com/uk/app/hedgeflows/reviews) - it works for companies looking for a solution to the batch payment issue.

Alex, I watch the video too. Informative but does not resolve the issue most people have expressed in this thread. Xero please listened to this customer request, it is business critical nowadays with businesses dealing with multi currency! Thank you!

Thanks Daniel, watched the video but this is not the issue I am complaining about.

Have a look at our demo video for payment runs solution that syncs two-way with Xero - https://youtu.be/h5aq8g6_ZT8

Best wishes,

Alex

I am leaving Xero now due to this issue, come on developers sort it out.

.

Would save so much time avoiding manual payment of individual transactions!

This would save a lot of time

Very frustrating for many of my clients whom use foreign suppliers and have to manually pay each one via their banking, so time consuming.

I don't understand why this isn't considered essential. Who doesn't buy at least some things from overseas these days? Even if its only packaging.

I wholeheartedly agree with the comments below, it is such a basic function to be able to pay and send remittances for foreign currency invoices and payments and I actually cannot believe it has not been prioritised and developed already.

As you offer Xero as a multi currency accounts package it doesn't make sense that I can't batch pay multiple invoices in a foreign currency.

I am not creating payments/files from XERO, simply posting a batch payment in another currency. I would also like to email remittance advices in a foreign currency as well.

Please make this available.

People have been asking for this for a long time. For us it is not possible to continue using Xero without this functionality. Are you targeting domestic companies only? certainly seems that way.
