Absolutely critical to business efficiency & should be a part of the core Xero function, not an addon. a simple toggle on or off needed, possibly by contact, but if easier & quicker not a priority.

I also think this is a key feature needed in Xero and we shouldnt have to pay for an add on to send remittance advice. I would also like to know when/if this is planned and on future roadmap please?

It is incredibly frustrating that this is the case. When I do a batch payment sent to our bank, they go through as individual payments which means to send a remittance, I need to go into the bank transactions and send individual remittances from each payment. When you have over 50 to do, this is not possible so we have given up on sending remittances as it is too time consuming.
This is the biggest failure I have ever come across with Xero.

It seems Xero is not interested in improving financial functionality at all. Functions that are basic to other financial systems, Xero does not think are important. Just like having separate fields for posting date and document date to comply with accounting standards which Xero does not plan to do as they can't see the importance, they don't see that automatically sending a remittance advice should be a basic function.
Are there any finance people that work in the Xero development team?

Just need to add this option even if we have to specify the contacts that get them automatically and it might solve issue of crashing when you try to edit the preformatted remittance

It seems so backwards the way I send remittances, not only do i have to go to each bank transaction to send a remittance, but i also can't add details into the remittance advice slip or email, without the XERO help suggestion of an 'add-on" which i would have to pay for. The amount of extra admin from suppliers asking for simple information that I would normally include... like when the payment will arrive. And the fact that I can't have a different email set up just to send a remittance advice to. I constantly have to add/remove email addresses.

This feature would save considerable time in admin. A feature which i cant imagine would be a difficult design update. Please expedite :)

Remittance advice sent from reconciliation: It would be a very useful addition to be able to send a remittance advice when reconciling supplier payments using Find & Match.

Can this be included. Seems a fairly fundamental process that would save a lot of time.

Why has this not been reviewed ? I was first mention way back in 2023 nearly 3 years ago and still no update. This should be a feature that is included to help with efficiency and avoid having to manually send remittance notices after payments are made. It defeats the purpose of having automatic Payments, if I then have to remember to log in and manually send a remittance notice. Xero- please make this feature available in 2026!

Xero, please consider this a high priority, it has been open since 2023 and no firm commitment to implement this.

please advise when xero will be introducing the automatic remittances

This is defiantly needed as with the Xero payments, we cannot send back payments so each payment goes individually meaning we have to go into each payment to send a remittance.

Absolutely agree that this is needed. XERO please make this a priority for 2026 as it would save huge amounts of time and energy!

PLEASE Xero, sort this out, we've just started using your payment system and this is critical

Please make this happen! Would save so much time if remittances could automatically be sent!

Xero stop doing those superfacial improvements , touch up to make it pretty . Do something practical actually help business to deal with their daily challenges !

Just to let everyone know on this thread, in case it is helpful - because of this glaring omission in Xero, we moved to using Nook (now Modular AP) to do our payment runs - which syncs with Xero. It sends remittance automatically, gives suppliers access to see past payments made via a 'portal' accessed via the link in the email, and is 1 charge per month rather than per transaction, so saves us money. Its a bit like an online bank account, so we load it with the funds for the run, and then pay. We also use it for Payroll after doing the payslips in Xero, it syncs to Nook for payment. Cheers

it is extremely rare that you don't need to send a remittance so to have it automatically sent would save so much time, and clicks. this would be hugely beneficial.

There should be a setting for each contact to turn on Automatic Remittance Notes, together with the choice of which email template to use. The current system is so clunky and time consuming when your doing a large payment run, with 3 or 4 clicks needed to send each remittance note.
