Wow, I’m so surprised this parent / child or Head Office functionality that has been asked for, for over 10 years has not been actioned! I thought Xero was super forward thinking when it came to end user requests/ideas. There are more businesses requiring this and less software providers, providing it.
Please Xero, add this to your software enhancements

This is extremely annoying as the main sole purpose I joined Xero was to use this function because 80% my clients have branches. Thank Genevieve Knights for the suggestion, but if I have to use this manual method for all my clients, the manual work required is ridiculously high.
creating the Receivable Invoice Summary is a good start, but then the clients loses the ability to click on the invoice number in the statement to verify details etc.
It is been years if not a decade since this issue was raised but still no update? I feel a little scammed as I have just subscribed for a whole year only to find out the sole critical function I require is not there. Extremely disappointed.

This is a simple function and it is unbelievable that it isn't available? I can't believe it, as one of the main reason I jointed/ subscribed into Xero was to use such function because my business has clients that has multiple branches. This is ridiculous.

Sadly, I have been asking for this since 2013. I was looking to come back to Xero but still many issues are unresolved. The other issue I have is dealing with companies that have multiple branches. Anyone know how to have a "Group" with multiple branches and delivery addresses and hence, only want "ONE" statement of ALL the branches activities on the ONE statement. Currently the head office will get individual statements of EACH branch.....Sigh""""""

Posting the again. How to do it! Because Xero can't be bothered:
OK guys so Xero removed the 2 clicks instant statement for groups for some reason completely beyond my comprehension but you can actually still create a group statement. Here is how:Click Accounting Tab
Click Reports
Click Receivable Invoice Summary
Select month or months for statement.
Click on Filter
Click Contact Group
Enter the group name (Xero won't remember it so spell correctly)
Click Apply
Click UpdateAnd there is all is.
Edit what columns you need and update.
Download to excel.
There is often no total showing on the spreadsheet but it shows on the pdf, so you need to enter that into excel.
You can make your own edits from there.You could have posted this yourself Xero wtf!
I mean 2 clicks in exchange for all this work! -

This can't come soon enough for our business. We have multiple clients under the one umbrella requesting one statement for all.

Sandra Steele commented
This would be a great option - we have several clients who would benefit from this

Require functionality to send statements to a contact group and not have to select individually.

This is such a critical thing for any business it is mindblowing that there is no parent/child hierarchy for customers / suppliers

This is also very important to our organisation.

What's the point of being able to create Contact Groups for Invoicing but not able to use the same Conact Group to send monthly Statements?????

Helen Jarvis commented
This is very important to our organisation. Surprised it has been overlooked this long. Does anybody know when this will be available?

Xero: Sending Client statements to specific groups in bulk - to be able to change the filters when trying to email the statements in bulk.

Peck Hoon Tan commented
We need to have a combined statement of accounts for customers. We are a medical practice and sending individual statement of child 1, child 2 and parent 1 and 2 separately does not make sense. All of them should be shown in a single statement of account with a field to show their individual names.
Please expedite the development of this feature in xero.

Totally agree, this would make such a huge improvement meaning not having to manually select contacts
-
Jacquelene Naude commented
This will be a huge improvement. I work with close to 9600 clients and they get billed at different time, meaning statements is sent only when they've been billed.
So now I have to manually select clients and send statements. And they are not always close in sequence to be able to select multiple.
The functionality is already there that contacts is grouped, just add the grouping option on the statements screen. -
Helen Kirkland commented
With this facility we could customize an email template to go out to the various groups; gentle reminder, harsh reminder, etc.

This needs implementing, its ridiculous that it isn't a basic feature.
