Bills - Option to permanently dismiss Pay bills online pop-up message
Whenever I make a manual payment to a supplier Purchases/Bill I keep getting an annoying pop-up saying "Pay bills online directly from Xero". Bills are not paid online, payments are processed manually. Please remove this annoying pop-up.
There needs to be a "do not ask me again" box.
I'm told by AI help that I can continue to process manual payments as usual - the pop-up shouldn't prevent me from completing the transactions. This is where the problem lies - I make payments nearly every day and some suppliers have more than 1 invoice to pay so have to select…19 votesHi team, thanks again for your feedback on this here. Just to clarify the change, while the modal has been updated the payment method options shown are the same as previous. Just rather than making you select there is a preset default for online bill payment.
If you prefer manual payments you just need to click on the 'Continue with manual payment' to proceed.
With focus on further improving and expanding online bill payment methods and helping our customers stay on top of cashflows, it'd be great to better understand the reasons why online bill payments don't suit your business needs here.

Batch Payment - Option to add another when creating
Navigation. Wouldn't it make life easier when paying bills if you could create a batch and then go directly back to the Purchases Overview to create the next one. At the moment it's Create a Batch Payment then > Purchases > Bills. Repeat the process.
16 votesThanks for your idea, Karen. Understand how this would improve efficiency if you regularly create multiple batches in your workflow. We'll get a sense of the wider community interest in this from your idea here.

Email Template | Remittance - Allow Reference placeholder.
invoice email template options for placeholders allow for the 'reference' placeholder to be inserted.
This needs to be available to be inserted into the remittance email template.
As the placeholder exists, can it be allowed to the dropdown for remittance?

Batch Payments - Automate Batch loading to Commbiz platform
Currently we create batch payments and then manually upload the ABA file to CommBiz however this takes extra time and could be a control risk. Could you please look at being able to directly upload batch files from Xero to the CommBiz platform without needing the ABA file.
Thanks
3 votesHi Jessica, thanks for sharing your idea here. Batch payments are designed to be downloaded and uploaded without the need for any changes to be made outside of Xero. We'd be keen to get a bit more understanding of the control risk you're referring to. 😃
However, automation of batch payments is a great idea in itself so we've opened this up to the community to gain more support. We'll monitor this space in the meantime and provide any feedback on any changes or updates.

Batch Payments - Ability to add bills to an existing batch
Add a "add Bill" button to enable you to add a bill after the batch has been created without cancelling the batch and redoing.
13 votesHi christine, is this a common situation you find yourself or business running into? It'd be good to understand more detail if there are common circumstances that lead you to needing to edit a batch payment after it's been created.
For the time being we'll start to feel out the interest in this from community. Thanks!

Contacts - Supplier Statement "Detailed Ledger" (Running Balance Statement)
We need a new report for suppliers that functions as a true detailed ledger with a running balance.
The Problem: When we need to reconcile an account with a supplier, there is no single, clean report that shows a simple chronological history of all bills and payments. We can run a "Supplier Transaction Report," but it's often not in a simple, statement-style format that's easy to read or send to the supplier.
We need the Accounts Payable equivalent of the "Detailed Ledger" statement that is also needed for customers.
The Request (Solution): Please create a new report, "Supplier Detailed Ledger,"…
6 votesHi Jasmine, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently, Xero offers the Supplier bill activity report and the contacts Activity statement. While this information is available on the account transaction report,it is not available in a Statement format. We've moved this idea to Gaining support so that other users who want this idea implemented can vote for it as well. You may share this idea with your colleagues to get more traction!

Xero Accounting app - Send remittance advice
Add the ability to send remittance advice from the mobile app.
I find do most of my nightly accounting on the couch in my living room with this app - brilliant - but still have to go into the office just to do the remittance! Annoying.
Couldn’t we just do it from the app please?
8 votesHi, just a quick update on this.
Although the mobile app doesn't have this feature right now, feel free to share this idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit. They can add their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.

Direct Bill Payments within Xero - from the Xero Mobile App.
Button on the mobile app to pay bills, which will then use Crezco. This is how it works on Desktop but I can't see this feature on the mobile and I find myself often trying to pay bills while on the go, it would be much easier to start the flow from Xero, rather than switching between the Xero app and Banking app.

Batch payment - Warning if contact has not be paid in the last year
It would be great to have a warning pop up when creating a batch payment if a supplier has not been paid in ie 1 year. Recently a Supplier was paid however in the 2 years since they were first added into Xero (and no bills paid since) the business was sold and the bank account changed. Additionally if Hubdoc could read bank accounts and a warning pop up if they differ from that in Xero.

Bill Payments | Crezco - buy batches of bill payment fees
The highest Xero subscription allows you to make 10 bill payments through Crezco and then you pay a fee per bill. This is a pain, as I now have to approve each 24p fee.
Please can I buy Crezco payments upfront?4 votesHi everyone, we’ve seen some good chatter around buying Crezco bill payment fees in batches. For those handling a high volume of transactions, being able to buy fees in bulk would make this process quicker and smoother.
At the moment, Xero doesn’t support batch purchases for bill payment fees, but this idea is now in Gaining Support.
If this sounds like something that would help your workflow, please add your vote or share your thoughts. The more feedback we get, the better we can show the product team how important this is.
We’ll keep you updated here as we learn more.

Bills - Add 'Make Payment' option available in Canada for 'Bills'.
In Canada, 'Make Payment' button is not available in 'Bills'. It would be nice to make payment directly from the Bills instead making payment from the bank.

We've taken a look, and it's now ready for the Xero community to rally behind. Other users can now vote and offer their thoughts on how this could enhance their own Xero journey.

Batch Payment - New Bills/payee's highlighted in Batch Payment Summaries
Accounts Payable - New Bills/payee highlighted in batch payment summary
I review the batch payment summaries for our organization after they have been approved by managers but I would like some further controls - it would be great if there was some indication on the batch payment summary that this was a first time bill payee and/or if Xero could check for duplicated bank account numbers in the batch payment summaries.
4 votesHi Dionne, we’ve reviewed this idea and it’s now in the Gaining support stage. We understand how highlighting new payees or duplicates in batch payment summaries could help make reviewing batch payments quicker and easier.
This idea is open for more votes and comments from the community, so if this sounds useful to you, feel free to add your support or share your thoughts.

Batch payments - Option to export Batch Payment Summary report to .CSV file.
Currently there is the only one option to export Batch Payment Summary report to PDF format.
That report is coming with the vendors listed randomly without any order.
Usually I forward that report to the owner along with 'aba' file for payment processing, and the report with vendors listed in alphabetical order will be very helpful.
Exporting the report to Excel will solve the sorting problem.
Thank you very much,

Bill Payments - Copy documents attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry into the bill payment transaction.
Currently, documents (invoices) that are attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry do not copy over to the bill payment transaction at reconciliation. You have to go to the (reconciled) account transaction and manually add the same documents again !
I'm told by xero this is because the Bill to Pay and actual bill payment are 2 separate transactions and the "documents" icon and process apply only to the transaction being processed at the time.
This is silly. It is doing the same thing twice - and requires you remember to do it anyway!
I thought automation was designed to…2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Richard.
We appreciate you letting us know about the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea for having documents attached to a bill automatically copy over to the final bill payment transaction. We can see how this would save a lot of time and remove the current double-handling of having to attach the same file again post-reconciliation.
This idea is now open to gain support from other members of the community. Along with votes, others can now comment to share more detail on how this improved workflow would help their experience with Xero. 🙂

Checks - Increase unique cheque/check number limit from 6 characters
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.
2 votesHi 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.
