Email Template | Remittance - Allow Reference placeholder.
invoice email template options for placeholders allow for the 'reference' placeholder to be inserted.
This needs to be available to be inserted into the remittance email template.
As the placeholder exists, can it be allowed to the dropdown for remittance?

This is critical for us. Otherwise, the remittance advice becomes less useful for the receiver, especially in cases of batch payments or partial payments where the payment reference is essential for identifying and allocating the payment correctly.

I totally agree, this seems like a basic function to me, that it should be able to drag into the remittance email the reference and the amount.

It would be great to have a few other placeholders available, like payment date, it's really time consuming having to manually input this on each remittance I send.

I have a template that includes the following text
"Here's your remittance advice for payment of [Currency Code] [Supplier Total Without Currency] for Invoice #."
I manually copy the reference number from the bills view right before I click on the Add Payment button and then manually paste this into the remittance email where it needs to be placed.
This is a needless step for me to do for every single bill I pay. It is also prone to errors as I also copy and paste the payment reference from my bank form into the Add Payment fields and on occasion I have accidentally pasted my payment reference into the remittance email instead of the invoice number which has caused confusion with my suppliers.
This should be a fairly easy fix to add a new [Reference] placeholder for the remittance email template. Please consider adding this for the benefit of all Xero users. -
