Allow prepayments to be posted to Accounts Payable not just the Bank lines so it can be included in a Batch Payment form Xero
Currently Prepayments can only be posted directly to the bank line and so the actual payment must be processed manually in your online banking. We use Batch Processing for our supplier payments, so being able to add it to Accounts Payable instead would make things a lot easier for this saving both time and the risk of a mis-type for bank details. I appreciate this means both sides of a transaction would be in Accounts Payable (for a short while) but it would only be until the Batch Payment process has selected the relevant invoices for payment. This would also help greatly with Pro-Forma invoices received.
Once the invoice is received would be applied against the pre-payment as per normal.
Either that or find a way for Approval Max to do this (Pro-Forma/Prepayment option) so audit trails can still be followed for both the payment and invoice.
