Enter your idea

Just yet? This has been requested for years. I find it hard to believe that this kind of functionality was missing from launch, but shocking it is STILL missing.

As a business user managing payments across multiple suppliers, I strongly support this request.

The current process for sending remittances is extremely manual and time-consuming, particularly when processing large payment runs. The ability to generate and send remittances in bulk should be standard functionality within modern accounting software.

Equally important is that key information should automatically flow through from the payment transaction into the remittance advice. This should include, at a minimum:

Supplier name
Payment date
Payment reference
Amount paid
Invoices included in the payment
Any credits or adjustments applied

Users should not have to manually enter information that Xero already holds against the payment. The system already knows which invoices have been paid, the payment reference used, and the value of the transaction.

For organisations processing dozens or hundreds of payments each month, manually creating individual remittances is inefficient, increases administrative workload, and introduces unnecessary risk of errors. Bulk remittance functionality with automatic extraction of payment details would save significant time, improve supplier communication, and bring Xero in line with what many users would consider a basic accounts payable requirement.

Please rectify this basic omission before focusing development effort on additional apps and peripheral features. Bulk remittance processing is not a niche requirement. It is a core function needed by virtually every organisation that uses Xero to pay suppliers. Many of the newer app integrations are optional and only relevant to specific sectors or use cases, whereas remittances are a fundamental part of day-to-day accounts payable for all users.

This is basic accounting software functionality that businesses have reasonably expected for many years. The fact that Xero already holds all the necessary payment data makes the absence of automated bulk remittances even more difficult to understand.

This is not a "nice to have" feature. For finance teams it is a fundamental operational requirement that should have been available for years. It would deliver immediate value to a far greater proportion of the Xero customer base than many of the features currently being developed.

This is a big need. To many steps to just send a remittance currently

Especially as in Construction in Queensland if you have a Project Trust Account it is a requirement to send a remittance

The biggest thing that slows me down is this!
Lot of smaller suppliers that don't have automation on their side so often need remittance to clear statements.
Would be a game changer

Honestly this feature on it's own would be a life saver, especially when suppliers mis-allocate payments and request for remittance to unwind, the communication back and forth!! it becomes a time consuming process. I think when you can make payments within Xero by selecting the invoices individually, I dont see why the remittance should not be sent automatically.

Thanks

This is a critical option for our business, it is an unnecessarily time consuming piece of work to have to go through all the steps to send a remittance once a bill is paid. The option to turn on or off for each contact would be ideal. It is difficult to understand why nothing has been done in the 3 years since this original idea was shared.

Often I only know that a payment has been made as it comes through the bank feed so when I allocate the payment to the bill through the bank feed a pop-up or something "Would you like to send a remittance for this payment?" and the ability to send a remittance directly from there would be ideal, without having to go back and then open the invoice and payment and send from there.

This pop-up option could be ticked on/off in the supplier's contact card so it only pops up for users on contacts that it applies to for them.

Alternatively, in the 'account transactions' tab of the bank feed screen, there are already tick boxes there for the payments you have just allocated where you can then highlight multiple then "remove & redo", this functionality could be used for "send remittance"

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
