Contacts - Option to add supplier BPAY details
Some suppliers only offer BPAY details to pay their invoices, currently Xero only gives the option to add bank account details to the contact card.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing and supporting this idea.
We can see how being able to add supplier BPAY details directly to a contact would be helpful, especially when a supplier only accepts BPAY. Right now, Xero only supports bank account details on the contact, so BPAY details like biller code and reference number aren’t captured in a dedicated way.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers this impacts and the different ways BPAY is being used. If this would help your workflow, please add your vote and share a comment with a bit more detail about how you currently manage these payments.
Thanks again for raising this — we’ll keep you updated here as we learn more.

There are a few aspects to this:
Most BPAY references do not change (utility bills are an example of this) so why have the requirement to capture this more than once?
Where a BPAY reference is linked to a supplier bill number, ie: the reference changes each time, then the Biller Code should be recorded on the contact record and the reference number left blank to force its capture on bill payment.
From a bookkeeping perspective there should be no difference in process between BPAY details and BSB/Account details. If a change is made on the contact record, or during bill payment then an email should be sent to flag that payment details have changed.
