  1. 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…

    Thanks 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.

  2. 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.

    Hi 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.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how a more flexible cheque number field could improve their own record-keeping with Xero.

  3. Batch payments - details don't copy over into right hand columns when doing batch payments . I have raised this with Xero and they have indicated that never been raised with them before . Has anyone found a quick solution to this?

  4. 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?

    Hi 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.

  5. 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.

    Hi 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.

  6. 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.

    At 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.

  7. 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.

    Hi 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.
