Batch Payment - Option to add another when creating
Navigation. Wouldn't it make life easier when paying bills if you could create a batch and then go directly back to the Purchases Overview to create the next one. At the moment it's Create a Batch Payment then > Purchases > Bills. Repeat the process.

Thanks for your idea, Karen. Understand how this would improve efficiency if you regularly create multiple batches in your workflow. We'll get a sense of the wider community interest in this from your idea here.

I do batches so that bills are paid on different days, grouped by when they are due, so that we don't go over the daily banking limits. It is a pain to do the bills to be paid today, then go all the way to the start to do the bills to be paid tomorrow, then all the way back to the start to do the day after tomorrow, and so forth.
I also will often split multiple bill payments to the same supplier into separate batches, if I want that supplier to receive five payments for five bills, each with their own invoice number, instead of one payment for all five bills, with a random choice of invoice number from the five options.

Even better would be the ability to make a batch payment to multiple suppliers, each with multiple invoices. AS far as I've found, Xero can't combine multiple invoices from one supplier to make a total for that supplier and do the same for a number of other suppliers and make a batch file for the lot with one line for each supplier.
I had software in our shop that could do that 20 yrs ago!!! -

When making a payment to a supplier, once paid and in the end summary screen where you can send remittance etc - it would be good to then have an option to return to the supplier list to make another payment to the next supplier.
At the moment when clicking back button, it goes into making the same payment that has just been made which doesn't make sense, and end up having to click back 3 times to get back to the supplier list again so would make payments a lot faster.

Can you create an option to return to the Purchases Overview list page, after having created a Transaction: Batch Payment?. It is laborious to press the back button several times in order to get back to the list of bills to be paid.
