    Thanks for checking in about this Hal.

    Yes – Xero already supports creating an ABA file for supplier payments (AU only) via batch payments. You can use it for a single supplier or for multiple suppliers in one go.

    In short:

    • Set up your bank account in Accounting > Bank accounts with the correct bank selected and, if required, your Direct Entry User ID / APCA number.
    • Add supplier bank details (BSB and account number) in their contact or on the batch line.
    • From Bills > Awaiting payment, select the bills, click Batch payment, choose the ABA‑enabled bank account, approve the batch, then export/download the ABA file.
    • Upload the ABA file into your online banking using the import ABA / direct credit batch option.
