  1. 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.

    Thanks for sharing this idea with us, we appreciate the interest in being able to include attachments with remittance advices could be helpful, particularly when customers or suppliers can’t access the remittance advice link.

    We want to be upfront that we don’t have any plans to develop this feature in the near term. We’ll continue to monitor the support this idea receives for future consideration, and if our plans change, we’ll share an update here.

    Feel free to share this idea with colleagues who’d also like to see this so they can add their support too.

  3. 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.

  4. Option to generate a Notice of Electronic Funds document to send to suppliers requiring immediate proof of payment. Said Notice to include:

    remittance date
    name/contact details of remitting party
    amount
    reference / description for payment being made
    the bank details of both the remitting and beneficiary banks

    Not an original idea but I received a notice from a customer. Today I was asked to submit one to a supplier as proof of payment so they could ship out an urgent delivery but I could not provide one. See sample document attached for reference.

    Hi Nina, this is something I'd recommend engaging your financial institution or bank about. While you can set up and create a payment in Xero, the confirmation of funds transfer would come at the point the money is paid from your actual bank account to the suppliers bank account. 

    If your suggestion however is from the Sales side where you'd like to request your own customers provide proof of payment for invoices you send to them perhaps this could be worked into your organisations branding as part of the payment terms? 

  5. 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.

  7. 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

    Hi team, while we appreciate you raising the idea in the forums with us here we want to be upfront that we don't have plans for developing the ability to export batch payment files that meet the differing needs of more banks.

    Instead we are taking the approach of enabling bill payments solutions directly with Xero.

    For examples we have developed a solution with Crezco in the UK, and a solution with Melio for the US. We are continuing to explore other markets as we continue to develop and improve bill payment flows for our customers.

  9. 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.

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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

  19. Ability to customise the branding of Remittance with a DOCX / advanced branding theme

    Purpose: This would allow businesses that are already using DOCX / Advance branding to apply consistent branding to the Remittance advice that is sent to their suppliers.

    Hi community, we appreciate the on-going interest this idea is receiving and the growing needs in the ability to customise documents that you send from Xero.

    Right now, our position for this idea remains the same - we do have future plans to improve the branding experience across Xero, starting with invoicing which you can read more about.

    As this experience continues to build out we'll make sure to share any updates for customising Remittance for everyone here.

  20. Ability to produce supplier remittances that include all the credit notes against any payment as unallocated.

    Purpose: Because some of the credit notes do not relate specifically to an invoice, e.g. marketing aid, retro discounts.
