Hey community, thanks for your sharing and supporting this idea.
We wanted to share for those that may not already know - right now you can combine multiple bills to mark them as paid in a single batch payment? Bills display separately in Xero, but bills for the same supplier are combined in the payment file, so each supplier receives a single payment and reference. Appreciate that this may not help for all workflows of those who voted for this idea so we'll continue to monitor interest and feedback on the idea.

It would be great to be able to merge multiple bills from suppliers into 1 for statements.
An example - we've got multiple credit accounts with suppliers and get an invoice sent out with every purchase. At the end of the month we get statement showing what we owe - which is what gets uploaded for reconcilliation (which is what our accountant doesn't like as it only includes the amount owed and/or the invoice numbers, but does not include the detailed invoice items any more). The 'upload bill via email' function works excellent for getting everything into draft. It would be ideal to be able to store all my invoices for the month in a draft stage until the statement comes through and then combine them all into one - including all the attachments -

Purchase orders raised cannot be merged when suppliers bill for multiple orders on one single invoice. We require POs to be merged into one bill.

We need the ability to merge 2 duplicate bills for the same supplier into 1 bill in Xero.
This will help prevent our organization to make two (2) payments for the same bill.

The lack of this feature becomes a major issue when connecting Xero to external software like Unleashed. We only get one invoice from the supplier but the bills get split by receipt of goods/costs. We store the invoices with the bill so that means opening every bill attaching the invoice and calculating the totals match the invoice. People have been asking for this for years at this point.

We are integrating Xero with Kantata system and cannot prceed with the purchase invoicing side without this function.
