Hi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.

Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.

We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

    This is so critical in order to keep on top of sending receipts to clients who have paid!! Please can this feature be added- it would be so helpful!

  • Kelly Beveridge commented  ·   ·  Report

    Looks like the function to send receipt has been added! Thankyou Xero!

  • Hayley Law commented  ·   ·  Report

    This should be structured to allow each business to choose what is the best option for them not be a blanket functionality one size does not fit all here.

  • Jared Byrne commented  ·   ·  Report

    AGREE WITH ALL COMMENTS REGARDING NEW INVOICING'S INFERIOR RECEIPT SENDING ABILITY.
    THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS A JOKE THAT FUNCTIONALITY IS GOING BACKWARDS.

    IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT AUTOMATICALLY SENDING THE RECEIPT, IT JUST SHOULDN'T BE LIKE 5 OR MORE EXTRA CLICKS TO HAVE TO GO BACK INTO THE INVOICE AND PAYMENT TO SEND THE RECEIPT.

  • Robert Ellis commented  ·   ·  Report

    This action / flow needs to occure upon receiving a payment and posting that to an invoice not during the reconciliation process.

  • Accounts FDF commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree with Aaron Lightstone's comment. New invoicing without the "Send receipt" option is a PITA

  • Mark Maiden commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree, this option would be great to have please.

    I am in uk and we are in need of this feature wherein we want the ability to send a receipt at bank reconciliation stage when the transaction is created. We would use these for charity donations received at the bank

  • Aaron Lightstone commented  ·   ·  Report

    the way this works in new invoicing is INFERIOR to the old way as many have pointed out. It takes way longer and has more steps.

    Yes to Auto send receipts - but not all of my clients get receipts ( long story) so the way it is now in old invoicing is ideal we enter payment and then are immediately given the OPTION of sending a receipt or not.

  • Schaiane De Assis Batista commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please maintain the send receipt option straight away once payment is applied. It is double work to apply the payment, then go back to the invoice, then click on the payment, and then send the receipt. With the old invoicing system, you apply the payment, and straight away there is a message if you want to send the receipt. Much easier... not to mention, that some people can take the payment, but are not able to click on the payment to send the receipt.

  • Samanta Dos Santos commented  ·   ·  Report

    With the new invoicing, we can't send a receipt after adding payment without going back to the invoice, clicking on the payment link, and clicking on send the receipt. The old invoicing had this option, so can this be kept, PLEASE?

    The issue is that not all users who have permission to take and process payments have permission to click on the receipt link, therefore, these users will not be able to send receipts on the spot when receiving payments.
    In addition, the "new" way is more time-consuming.

  • Stuart Gow commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be super. Right now you need to do a load of clicks to do this...
    1. Okay the reconcile
    2. Go to acct tranactions
    3. Open tranaction
    4. Drop down
    5. Email reciept
    PHEW!

    How is it possible that a critical issue has been raised since 2015 and Xero has not done anything about it. Any, I mean, any payment receiving software has an automated feature to send payment receipts. Xero has the feature but it is manual. Please add an automation to it! Thank you.

  • Frazer Andiel commented  ·   ·  Report

    with the new invoicing system I am not able to send receipt after adding payment with out going to the payment and then send receipt. There should be a enter payment and send receipt button to make it easier and quicker.

  • Paul Kibble commented  ·   ·  Report

    It’s a pretty basic option. Surprised that it’s not a standard option. Can’t believe that we have to go through all of this rubbish to get it done.

  • Boutros Jeitani commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why is this not implemented yet XERO. Please add this as an option as it should be standard!

  • Daniel Beulke commented  ·   ·  Report

    An option to issue a receipt to a customer during the reconciling process. When matching bank statement and xero information, the receipt could be sent to the details on the original xero produced invoice that you are reconciling. Would certainly work for individual payments (full or part payment). Might require an extra step if reconciling multiple invoices to one payment.

    I've been receiving membership fees for a community group, and would like to send receipts as payment is made and reconciled. At the moment I have to go into each invoice and send receipt manually.

    Just a thought. :)
