  1. When using pre-printed check stock, information on the voucher overlaps information on the pre-printed check. If you could change the layout of the voucher, this problem could be eliminated.

  3. We desperately need NACHA file format for batch payments export file in the USA. This is the Australian ABA equivalent. Second option to that is a CSV file in a format that is accepted by US banks - the current format is not acceptable by their systems, unless we laboriously spend time making adjustments to each payment file in excel before loading it in, and even then it's barely acceptable and prone to human error, which is unacceptable from a control perspective.

    No matter which US Bank we use, the CSV file export from Xero does not split the routing…

  4. Any chance we could get compatibility to upload batch payments to Lloyds Commercial banking online without having to manipulate the batch file outside of Xero before uploading.

  5. It would be great to have the ability to have a ‘send remittance advice’ button under the accounts transactions page of the bank accounts to easily tick the payments you want to send a remittance advice of to suppliers. Perhaps next to the ‘remove & redo’ button. This will save a lot of time having to go into a payment transaction. I know that the remittance advices can be send for bulk payments but this needs to be done before the payment is removed if various suppliers are paid in the same batch. The same option can perhaps be added…

    Hi community, thanks for sharing your thoughts on being able to send remittance advice in bulk from the Account Transactions screen. We appreciate you explaining how this could help simplify payment workflows.

    We’ve reviewed this idea and agree it’s a valuable one. It’s not something on the current roadmap right now, but it’s an area the team would like to explore in the future.

    In the meantime, we’d love to hear more about how this would help in your day-to-day work. The more examples and votes we have, the better we can understand what matters most when we start looking into it. Thanks again for all your input and continued feedback!

  6. I would really like the ability to print blank cheques. Right now, when you preview the cheque there is not an option for it to be blank. If it was blank, I could have some cheques ready for those times we need one quick, and then I could enter it in Xero after. I am really hoping your team can add this feature, I can't be the only person that would benefit from this. I look forward to hearing from you.

  7. Bulk upload of check data into registers for printing using excel or third party. Not the same as paying via check bill payment.

  8. 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. 

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

  10. I would like Xero to remove or make it optional when making batch supplier payment without swift code or linking with bank account as not every company will link their xero with their bank. Current batch payment is not applicable to my company as we do not link our bank account with xero. This compulsory swift code for bank processing is really not user friendly & our company book keeper has to enter supplier payment 1 by 1 for 20 invoice payment.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Xero needs to include the field indicators on their printed cheques like all the other Canadian compliant software companies.

    Right now Xero directs Canadians to have their printer include the field indicators on the preprinted stock, but this makes alignment very difficult and most printers won’t. Even the companies that they suggest to provide the stock do not include it.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    Also to view which payments made up the total payment

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
