Enter your idea

I also have clients that have a large number of supplier invoices so really need the bills item number limit to be increased to avoid multiple batch payments.

I would also like the filtering in Bills to include the ability to hide a supplier, to improve the batch payment creation process.

I agree - we regularly have payment runs with more than 200 bills so have to split the payment run up.

I agree- we are processing our employee expenses which all go into the batch payment individually itemised and there are always more than 200 so we have to do each page at a time and then create the payment file for each page.

It would help if the system would either group them together for the employee so it shows the total sum for that person instead if individually itemised OR we had the ability to select more than 200 in one go

My request is quite basic.....if the screen view is 100, retain the ticked bills when moving to the next page. At the moment when moving to page 2 you lose those that are ticked & have to start all over again! And if searching by supplier and ticking bills to be paid, retain those that are ticked so you can then search on another supplier and retain the ticked bills for each search.

Why is this not a priority to fix? This is a basic Accounts Payable function - it's not just helpful it's really important ... the same as a creditors' activity statement. Both have been issues for years now.

Dammit. This hasn't been a focus for over the three years I've been griping about it. Seems that Xero is still focused on cutsie bells and whistles stuff while ignoring the fact that, for it's users, Xero sucks. Fix the issues that impede your users ability to efficiently execute their jobs. And quit sending out the propoganda emails touting how great Xero is. We users don't share the sentiment that you guys are shoveling.

This is important to me

We are not even a large business, however we always have way more than 200 creditor invoices and since Xero has even more issues and is not able to find all contacts with the same word in the name (eg "Capricorn"), then it makes setting up payments a nightmare.

This is a must for larger size businesses :)

I also concur with all the users on this thread. This is a real issue for those of us with suppliers who have over 200 bills for the month. I am not sure why this is not being looked into or actioned as it appears Xero has been well aware of this for some time.

In bills to pay! Be able to search and select multiple invoices to create a remittance.

Currently if you select one and then search for another, the previous selected one is deleted.

Please can this be developed and actioned asap, I am in the same position with suppliers having over 200 invoices for payment, I have to split payments then it messes up the bank import feed as it will not find the matched payment and the remittance looks incredibly messy to our supplier.

Xero could widen it's customer base to support larger business's with this development.

Surely a quicker fix than selections across pages is to make the Invoice page show 500 - 1000 invoices for larger batches. It is sooooooo time wasting creating multiple batches because of this issue.

Within the Bills to pay, the most you can see is 200 at a time, when creating large batches that involve multiple suppliers and Invoices it is currently impossible to select those that are on following pages, this makes it really difficult. It would be great for an ability to see 500 or 1000 Bills on the one page at a time, please.

It would also be great to have greater ability to filter such as by supplier or to show all BUT certain suppliers.

Forget it everyone, Xero is much more interested in messing up other stuff than providing much needed functionality. I really dislike this whole "ideas" thing. This is essential for business but they really don't care. Maybe they're focussed on attracting much smaller businesses and people who require more will need to go elsewhere.

We too would appreciate displaying more than 200 items for the same reaon. WE end up having to create multiple batches which could easily be remedied

As a new user to Xero & a MAT of schools, we now have in excess of 200 bills to pay in each weekly run. It seem that just increasing the numbers of bills viewable on the page, enabling more to be selected, may solve this? Definitely something that needs a fix going forward. Also when running the payment batch report, a summary by supplier would be (more) useful)

One of our organisations has more than one page in bills awaiting payment. When a batch payment is created, you can't select invoices to be paid on page 2 without losing the invoices already selected on page 1. This means that you have to create two batch payments which is additional work. It would be great if this issue could be look at.

Is it possible to increase the size of the bill payments to add to a batch. currently the limit is 200, and this is very limiting. we are not a large business, we have just moved onto Xero as it was recommended to us as very suitable. however we have more than 200 bills that we are paying at the end of each month. when we went to do our payment batch it was very frustrating to find we were limited to 200 for a batch to upload to the bank

This is the biggest single issue we have with Xero and as others have said it may well drive us away. My son, who is a software engineer, has written us a little program that converts the XERO batch pay CSV output file in to a TXT file that I can upload to Nat West. I do several 200 transaction payments and cut and paste the TXT files together. This works for me but it is a palaver we shouldn't have to go through.
