Batch Payments - Ability to add bills to an existing batch
Add a "add Bill" button to enable you to add a bill after the batch has been created without cancelling the batch and redoing.
Hi christine, is this a common situation you find yourself or business running into? It'd be good to understand more detail if there are common circumstances that lead you to needing to edit a batch payment after it's been created.
For the time being we'll start to feel out the interest in this from community. Thanks!

ADD AN ADDITIONAL SUPPLIER TO AN EDITED BATCH PAYMENT
When there is a requirement to recode a bill that was originally coded to one chart of accounts code, yet it should be split into several GL account codes, the only way to do this is to unreconcile and remove it from a Batch Payment, edit the bill, and then recreate the batch Payment that it was originally in. It would be helpful and less time-consuming if this could be inserted back into the original batch it was paid from, as some of these batches are rather long and include many bills. -

This would be amazing to work in advance. Today is the 29th and I would like to prepare for end of month payments tomorrow. I can't because I am expecting stock to arrive today and tomorrow and want to pay those invoices also so I have to wait until the last minute to prepare. If you could create a draft batch and then add bills prior to finalising it would make it much easier.

Ability to add more invoices to the batch payment in edit mode (similar to remove invoice) prior to extract ABA file.
Currently, if I need to add an invoice to the batch in process, I will need to remove and redo the full batch (with 25 invoices) and then go back to bills for payment and start the process again selecting the new invoice that needed to include in the batch along with the other 25 invoices selecting again individually (due to the nature of selective payment).

Hi there, I agree with this request. We run a construction/ development company with multiple jobs and need to create batches for each job due to funding arrangments. Sometimes we need to add to the batches or remove from them. I have to 'remove and redo" to start again with the the whole process so that it can be tidied up. Some of our batches are huge and I would do multiple on the 20th for each job. I would also LOVE to be able to create draft batches which will have the option to add/ remove payments from it before it is finalised. It is much easier then to assign each invoice to a particular batch as you enter it into Xero instead of it all being in one pool which then needs to be sorted for payment for each job. We have had this issue for many years and every month I wish we had a draft batch option! Thank you!

I agree with the below. When requesting approval for payment, directors might want to add more invoices or edit the batch. Very annoying indeed. Thank you.

This would be very useful to me - I'm regularly doing batches with 30+ invoices and having to start from scratch if you miss one is very annoying

Hi Kelly, I would like to be able to add a bill after the invoices are ticked and batched for payment but before clicking "Make Payments". Once you have batched the invoices and you realize that you have to add an invoice, then you have to cancel the whole batch and redo. Very frustrating especially when you have 30 invoice to pay in your batch. Hope this makes sense.
