  1. Ability to send remittance advice for bills not paid via Xero. So I am able to send remittance on “spend money” transactions.

    If the payment is occurring at a different time to the transaction being entered is there a reason why the transaction is not being recorded as a bill, Anne-Marie? 

    There are lots of efficiencies in how bills can now be created in Xero without much manual intervention so would be good to understand more of the detail behind your business needs, here. 

  2. Checks (cheques) cut for Xero US subscribers should print addresses accordingly. Not all the letters in a City need to be capitalized. City not CITY. Furthermore, there should be a comma after City. And if you use the Attention feature in the Contact Address, it should print as the first line in the check address. Currently it prints as Vendor Name, Attention: Jane Doe. That makes for a very odd, confusing addressee on the check.

  3. When making a batch payment, it's always a pain to have to exit to get the missing bank details.

    I'd love there to be a link to the bill to check the bank details on the document. Adding that extra layer of protection as well for those who want to make sure the bills bank details actually match back to the payments.

    It sounds like the suppliers payment details maybe held somewhere on the original bill that's been entered, Laura - Is this correct? 

    Is this detail that would commonly change for a supplier you work with? Generally when creating a batch this information is pulled from the contacts record. 

  4. Allow a bank file that is supported by Coutts to allow batch payments to be made.

  5. Ability to retrieve ABA file that was previously created / used to review the actual bank details that were uploaded to the bank account.

  6. There’s no functionality in Xero to produce an individual remittance advice for a single bill included in a batch payment, it would be great if this could be done.

  7. Improve security of printed checks by adding leading and trailing asterisks to amount fields.

    Example $150.99***** and one-hundred fifty and 99/100****** dollars

    Makes alteration of amounts more difficult.

  8. Could you please add the option to pay have different payment dates for bills in a batch payment. Perhaps you can select to choose 'one payment date' or the 'planned payment date' when creating the batch. This way we can bundle multiple payments into one batch and don't need to set up multiple batches for multiple payments dates.

  9. Please allow remittance advices to be sent to clients from a batch payment even if it contains an overpayment. There is something fundamentally wrong for there not to be an option for this. A batch payment of 100 invoices with an overpayment of 1 is not cause for there not being an option to send a remittance advice to my clients. I've had to search the page and manually extract it onto an excel file and then send to suppliers. Very time consuming especially if you make large batch payments for over 50 different suppliers.

  11. It would be great if we could send a remittance on a bill that has been part paid. This means suppliers can reconcile the payment in the same way we have in their own accounts

  12. We write paper checks for some of our clients using a blank check style format. It would be nice to be able to insert a scanned signature on the signature line on the check style. This would enable the authorized signature to print on all checks printed.

  14. Ability to format a cheque voucher so that the tax amount shows on each line item and not just in the total below or even better so that sales tax automatically shows within the line item amount.

  15. When printing newly created checks it would be nice to have the ability to easily select all for just those new checks by marking all previously printed checks as having already been printed instead of either having to check the box next to each check you want to print or by doing a search by date (if you print checks once daily) to be able to then select all to print.

  16. It would be nice to be able to have our company name on the check voucher so the vendor will always know who the payment is from.

  17. I will like an option that will force customer to register to Auto Pay.

    All our customers agreed to use Auto Pay and most of them "forgets" or "don't see" the Auto Pay checkbox option. So, what happens, they pay thinking they have subscribed to Auto Pay.

    This option will make our billing management so much easier.

    A quick fix to that issue could be the following:
    When they select the button "Set up auto pay", then the Auto Pay checkbox should at least be already selected.

  18. Currently when editing a batch payment we can only tab across to the next cell, it would be good if we can use the arrow keys to move around and edit instead of using your mouse to get to the cell below, or the previous cell etc.

    We appreciate how this could be more intuitive. To confirm how this currently works - Within the body of a batch payment you can use Tab to navigate forward through cells, pressing Enter will enable you to edit the cell and then pressing Enter again will confirm the cells contents(highlighted).

    When the cell is highlighted you'll be able to use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate up, down and across within the body of your batch payment.

  19. Prepayment automatically be created for the combined total of the "Income in Advance" lines.

    Purpose: To save users time from having to prepayment invoices manually by adding a payment to the invoice from Income in Advance
