Batch Payments - Automate Batch loading to Commbiz platform
Currently we create batch payments and then manually upload the ABA file to CommBiz however this takes extra time and could be a control risk. Could you please look at being able to directly upload batch files from Xero to the CommBiz platform without needing the ABA file.
Thanks
Hi Jessica, thanks for sharing your idea here. Batch payments are designed to be downloaded and uploaded without the need for any changes to be made outside of Xero. We'd be keen to get a bit more understanding of the control risk you're referring to. 😃
However, automation of batch payments is a great idea in itself so we've opened this up to the community to gain more support. We'll monitor this space in the meantime and provide any feedback on any changes or updates.

Thanks Sonal :)
The control risk I was referring to was that the ABA file can be edited between download and upload and the approver in the bank portal would be none the wiser.
Additionally, the Commbiz platform has a very lengthy process to upload ABA files to their portals (5 screens requiring click through) which is time consuming when we manage 32 Xero files and so preparing 32 payment batches.
I know Microsoft Dynamics 365 has this functionality with Commbiz.
