The only reason we use premium plan because we need to use multiple currency but the basic feature is not supported. this is the must have features for us.

So glad someone suggested this. Now, when the director pays 8 bills he has to Whatsapp me a picture of which ones he has ticked.
Its so primitive compared to the rest of the experience.

This is huge for our business. We currently have AUD as our primary and USD and NZ as our foreign currency. We buy in USD and Sell in USD so i dont see why you are unable to do a batch payment. It takes my office girls so much time to do the payments as well as not being able to send a remittance directly from Xero is so unprofessional.

IBAN/SWIFT is a standard international bank account numbering system. Bank account/sort code is limited to the UK or maybe other countries too? Surely Xero should allow IBAN numbers be added. Isn't it a simple field change? Xero has done well to allow multi-currency invoices/bills but to have the ability to receive payments in at least Euros and US dollars (& any other major currencies) would really expand the XERO customer database!

On the reverse side, we receive payments to clear EUR invoices in our GBP account, when they are marked as paid via the reconciliation screen, the system will close the invoices but the reporting of the batch deposit transaction is completely confused by the currencies. Being unable to recognise cash in and out in foreign currencies is not really multi-currency functionality. Let's have a fix, please :)

I have 6 foreign currency accounts and it is a nonsense that you cannot make batch payments.

Xero please sort this out as it wastes such a huge amount of time entering in manually and not being able to provide a relevant remittance advice is unprofessional.

This would be a great help for me, as I book three to four batch payments a month from our HQ which is in Germany, hence Euros. These payments can have up to 500/600 indv. bills. This would make the process so much quicker.

As a travel business who builds tailor-made trips and pays suppliers all over the world in many currencies, this is a much-needed feature

Having 6 currencies, this is a total nonsense and waste of admins time and costing money to my business.

Echoing other posters comments

Xero, unlike other similar accounting software, lacks a very important and BASIC functionality of enabling users to record batch payments of foreign currency invoices or bills in 1 step and asks the user to copy the full invoice amount when it can be simply "ticked"

Currently, an "Overpayment" entry needs to be recorded then applied by copying the invoices / bills amounts into the fields on the right hand side of the payment application screen.

I have a logistics client who has multiple suppliers and clients that deal in UK, KSA and German invoices. They pay and receive funds for multiple invoices at weekly and monthly intervals and being able to do batch payments or deposits would be a massive time saver! Especially when you're dealing with 100s of invoices.

I have a client who is a Company selling shoes. They have a constant stream of bills coming in from both UK and EU suppliers. The client uses their system along side their online banking to make payments to said suppliers. So they will make a payment on Xero, against their Sterling or Euro Bank account and then send the remittance to the supplier through Xero. Then send the payment to the client through their online banking. The client will pay multiple invoices off at the end of the week so the ability to pay off multiple Euro bills at once is Essential for them

Drawbacks:
1. It is time consuming for bookkeepers as it has to be done in a 2-step process instead of 1 step
2. The user functionality in Xero is awkwardly called "Overpayment" (should not be named as such as there is NO OVERPAYMENT whatsoever),it should be simply called a "Batch Payment" as it is

Ability to have batch pay for multiple foreign currencies.

Purpose: Because some organisations are dealing with foreign currencies, and it’ll save users time to be able to mark a payment in batch for their customers/clients.
