Checks - Vendor details pull through automatically
I don't like the new vendor payment system. I want go back to the old system of paying by check. With new system you have to re-enter the vendor information to send a payment. Don't like it. How do i revert back to paying with my own checks.

At this stage, it isn’t possible to switch back to the previous check payment process.

Expand the layout alignment grid boundaries for custom pre-printed check styles
Hello, we use pre-printed checks that seem much wider than the alignment grid for custom check styles. I have the Amount and Date fields set all the way to the right (and the printer has no margins or spacing on the page formatting, etc.) but those two values are still left of the blanks on the pre-printed stock. The check stock is a regular 8.5"x11" format sheet and a regular B&W laser printer.
Unfortunately, this means the Amount ends up unclear because of the pre-printed dollar sign (see photo of a check I ran today). Thankfully the checks have been…
1 voteHi everyone, we appreciate you sharing this idea. We understand that having more flexibility when setting up check layouts would help businesses align printed payments with their existing stationery.
The suggestion is to allow more control over print field positioning and layout boundaries, making it easier to adjust checks to suit different formats.
For now, printer settings and scaling options can help fine-tune alignment when printing. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more feedback from businesses with different check layouts.

Direct Bill Payments within Xero - from the Xero Mobile App.
Button on the mobile app to pay bills, which will then use Crezco. This is how it works on Desktop but I can't see this feature on the mobile and I find myself often trying to pay bills while on the go, it would be much easier to start the flow from Xero, rather than switching between the Xero app and Banking app.

Bills - Make pop-up notifications optional
Could the pop-up windows that appears when I approve a bill be optional? It blocks the view of the next bill that pops up.
1 voteThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to work through bills quickly and the approval pop-up interrupts your view of the next one.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would like more control over this experience.
For now, as a workaround, you can click the x on the pop-up to dismiss it. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback — it helps us understand where small moments in the workflow can have a big impact.

Bills - Allow setting a default bank account and date when recording manual bill payments
The 'date paid' should default to current.
The 'from account' should default to last used for that contact1 voteHi Brett, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for the ability to keep a default bank account and payment date when recording manual bill payments.
Having these fields retained could help make high-volume bill processing smoother and reduce repetitive steps when entering multiple payments.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

Xero Accounting app - Send remittance advice
Add the ability to send remittance advice from the mobile app.
I find do most of my nightly accounting on the couch in my living room with this app - brilliant - but still have to go into the office just to do the remittance! Annoying.
Couldn’t we just do it from the app please?
10 votesHi, just a quick update on this.
Although the mobile app doesn't have this feature right now, feel free to share this idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit. They can add their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.

Bills - Add 'Make Payment' option available in Canada for 'Bills'.
In Canada, 'Make Payment' button is not available in 'Bills'. It would be nice to make payment directly from the Bills instead making payment from the bank.

We've taken a look, and it's now ready for the Xero community to rally behind. Other users can now vote and offer their thoughts on how this could enhance their own Xero journey.

Bill Payments - Copy documents attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry into the bill payment transaction.
Currently, documents (invoices) that are attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry do not copy over to the bill payment transaction at reconciliation. You have to go to the (reconciled) account transaction and manually add the same documents again !
I'm told by xero this is because the Bill to Pay and actual bill payment are 2 separate transactions and the "documents" icon and process apply only to the transaction being processed at the time.
This is silly. It is doing the same thing twice - and requires you remember to do it anyway!
I thought automation was designed to…5 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Richard.
We appreciate you letting us know about the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea for having documents attached to a bill automatically copy over to the final bill payment transaction. We can see how this would save a lot of time and remove the current double-handling of having to attach the same file again post-reconciliation.
This idea is now open to gain support from other members of the community. Along with votes, others can now comment to share more detail on how this improved workflow would help their experience with Xero. 🙂

Bills - Add an option to hide or remove the Memo line on printed Cheque layouts
Allow users to remove or hide the memo line on check-style bill payments. Many businesses do not use the memo field, and it takes up unnecessary space on the check layout. Providing an option to disable or remove the memo line would simplify the check format and allow the check stub to display more relevant information such as vendor details, invoice numbers, or payment references. This would make the check layout more flexible and better suited to different business workflows.
1 voteHi Kevin, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Having the option to hide or remove the memo line on printed cheques could make the cheque layout more adaptable.
A simple layout setting to control this would give more flexibility over what is shown on cheque vouchers, especially where sensitive or internal information is involved.
We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

Batch Payment - New Bills/payee's highlighted in Batch Payment Summaries
Accounts Payable - New Bills/payee highlighted in batch payment summary
I review the batch payment summaries for our organization after they have been approved by managers but I would like some further controls - it would be great if there was some indication on the batch payment summary that this was a first time bill payee and/or if Xero could check for duplicated bank account numbers in the batch payment summaries.
6 votesHi Dionne, we’ve reviewed this idea and it’s now in the Gaining support stage. We understand how highlighting new payees or duplicates in batch payment summaries could help make reviewing batch payments quicker and easier.
This idea is open for more votes and comments from the community, so if this sounds useful to you, feel free to add your support or share your thoughts.

Batch payment - Warning if contact has not be paid in the last year
It would be great to have a warning pop up when creating a batch payment if a supplier has not been paid in ie 1 year. Recently a Supplier was paid however in the 2 years since they were first added into Xero (and no bills paid since) the business was sold and the bank account changed. Additionally if Hubdoc could read bank accounts and a warning pop up if they differ from that in Xero.
5 votesThanks for letting us know that you would like to see a warning when paying suppliers that haven't been paid for over a year.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.
A second idea has been created from this one for the suggestion of adding a warning within Hubdoc if a different bank account number is entered in Xero. You can view this here - Hubdoc - Warning if supplier bank account in Xero is different

Bill Payments | Crezco - buy batches of bill payment fees
The highest Xero subscription allows you to make 10 bill payments through Crezco and then you pay a fee per bill. This is a pain, as I now have to approve each 24p fee.
Please can I buy Crezco payments upfront?4 votesHi everyone, we’ve seen some good chatter around buying Crezco bill payment fees in batches. For those handling a high volume of transactions, being able to buy fees in bulk would make this process quicker and smoother.
At the moment, Xero doesn’t support batch purchases for bill payment fees, but this idea is now in Gaining Support.
If this sounds like something that would help your workflow, please add your vote or share your thoughts. The more feedback we get, the better we can show the product team how important this is.

Batch payments - Option to export Batch Payment Summary report to .CSV file.
Currently there is the only one option to export Batch Payment Summary report to PDF format.
That report is coming with the vendors listed randomly without any order.
Usually I forward that report to the owner along with 'aba' file for payment processing, and the report with vendors listed in alphabetical order will be very helpful.
Exporting the report to Excel will solve the sorting problem.
Thank you very much,

4 votesHi Irina, thank you for this excellent suggestion.
We can see how being able to export the Batch Payment Summary report to a .CSV file would make it much easier to sort and manage before sending it on for payment processing.

Remittance Advice - Auto-untick suppliers with no email address
When sending remittances from batch payments, all suppliers are automatically ticked whether they have an email address or not, but you cannot send any remittances to any suppliers if even one of the ticked ones is missing an email. This is a laborious process to go and untick the suppliers with no email addresses in order to send the rest.
It would be great if suppliers with no email address listed are either:
1) already unticked, so you have to tick it to add an email and send the remittance to that supplier, but the suppliers with emails will work…4 votesThanks for sharing your idea in the forums here, Natascha. Can see how if you have a big batch this could save you time from having to scroll through and uncheck the suppliers that don't have an email.
While this isn't something we have immediate plans of we'll continue to get a sense of the interest from your idea here.
We have a big focus on enhancing and expanding our billing payment solutions across Xero and regions so we'll let you know if there are any plans that'd help in your idea here.

Checks - Increase unique cheque/check number limit from 6 characters
When writing a cheque, I am limited to a 6-digit unique cheque number. With QUickBooks I used the date as the checknumber. For example May 31 2025 would be 20250531, then I append a letter to it as 20250531a. With making payment on web sites and then entering checks into Xero this still allows things to sort properly. Being limited to 6 numbers makes it harder to keep track of things.
2 votesHi Stanley, thanks for sharing your idea and explaining your specific workflow for tracking payments. It's really helpful to understand how you use cheque numbers to keep things organised.
We've reviewed your suggestion to increase the character limit for cheque numbers, and it’s now ready to gain support from other community members.

Remittance Advice - Send multiple advices without using Batch Payments
Currently remittance advice can be sent based on payments. It is not possible to send multiple remittances at the same time without using the batch payment method.
As we have a lot to send, is it possible to look into some ways to send some remittance advice in a more efficient way for cases like with several payments to one person or multiple advice to multiple receivers? Or any automation for regular ones? Instead of downloading PDF one by one / sending email by payments one by one?
81 votesHi team, we appreciate the feedback here and how an easier method of sending Remittance would be useful for some users.
While this isn't in the direct pipeline just yet we're staying close to the ideas around this in the forums here and will be sure to notify you of any progress.

Batch Deposit - More than 50 transactions
We need to deposit > 50 transactions on a daily basis. We can't marry up our remittances to our deposits recorded in Xero when done in multiple parts. It's messy and not workable for large volume businesses.
90 votesHi everyone, we very much appreciate the feedback from you on wanting to be able to include more than 50 invoices in a batch deposit.
While this is something we'll continue to review we want to be open that this is not planned in the short term.
In the other side of the coin, we know there are also some in the conversation here that would like to see an increase in the number of bills included in a batch payment and I'd recommend adding your vote and staying tuned to this other idea.
If there is any change or updates around batch deposit volumes I'll be sure to share with you, here.

Cheque Register: Option to use feature outside of Canada & US
Dear Xero,
Cheque Printing option should be available for versions outside of Canada & US It's a very key feature required to many organizations which should be added in xero. Hope to see this feature available to every version of Xero in the near future.
15 votesAt the moment, paying bills by cheque/check in Xero is only supported for US and Canadian organisations. For organisations in other regions, this feature isn’t currently available.
We understand this capability is important for some businesses, and we’ve shared your feedback with our product team. Right now, our focus is on expanding and improving bill payment support more broadly, rather than extending the existing cheque/check feature to additional regions.
We don’t have any further updates to share at this stage, but we appreciate you taking the time to let us know what would be valuable for your workflow.

Checks - make the payee name field only appear above the address field
Ability to customise check style so payee name field can be placed above the address field.
Purpose: Professionalism with expected layout/formatting of Payee name above the address field.
24 votesHi team, while this idea has been around for sometime we appreciate for those that work with Checks this is an important feature and more customisation of checks would be greatly useful.
To be upfront, this isn't something we have direct plans of right now but will continue to keep a pulse on the interest here and share if there are any updates.
In the meantime, please do make sure to share this with any colleagues or clients that could benefit so they can add their support here.
