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?

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,"…
16 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!

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.
18 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.

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.
18 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!

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
4 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.

Checks - Vendor details pull through automatically
I don't like the new vendor payment system. I want go back to the old system of paying by check. With new system you have to re-enter the vendor information to send a payment. Don't like it. How do i revert back to paying with my own checks.
1 voteThanks for your feedback on the new process.
At this stage, it isn’t possible to switch back to the previous check payment process.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback here 💡 It helps our product team better understand the experience you’re having and where customers would value improvements most.

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.

Remittance advice - Ability to show foreign currency
As a business we deal in several currency so the ability to be able to send a remittance advice to a supplier that has been paid in a foreign currency similar to how this is done for suppliers in GBP would be a great help to ensure there are no queries with payments to suppliers paid in foreign currency

Batch payment (NZ) - Send batch direct to bank from Xero
Batch payment used to be able to send the batch direct to the bank, whereas now we have to export to a file, then upload the file to the bank program, which is multiple unnecessary steps and subject to file tampering and adjustment. Why does Xero remove great features like this and then charge more to use Xero - it is hard to fathom, but perhaps the banks were charging Xero for this wonderful feature and now Xero is cost cutting. It is hard to think of another reason for removing an excellent feature.

Batch Payment - Make reference mandatory
It would be great for the payment reference field at the top of the page to be a compulsory field when generating a batch payment. Given that it is required in order to generate an ABA file at the end of the process it causes a lot of issues if someone new or someone who is rushing skips filling it in, then you either have to reverse and redo or edit the batch in order to add the reference and generate the ABA.
1 voteThanks for sharing, Matthew. We don't have any plans for making this field mandatory atm but appreciate the extra steps of having to redo if it's been overlooked. We'll start to get a sense of the wider interest for this here.

Bills - Allow setting a default bank account and date when recording manual bill payments
The 'date paid' should default to current.
The 'from account' should default to last used for that contact1 voteHi Brett, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for the ability to keep a default bank account and payment date when recording manual bill payments.
Having these fields retained could help make high-volume bill processing smoother and reduce repetitive steps when entering multiple payments.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

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?
10 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.

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.

Expand the layout alignment grid boundaries for custom pre-printed check styles
Hello, we use pre-printed checks that seem much wider than the alignment grid for custom check styles. I have the Amount and Date fields set all the way to the right (and the printer has no margins or spacing on the page formatting, etc.) but those two values are still left of the blanks on the pre-printed stock. The check stock is a regular 8.5"x11" format sheet and a regular B&W laser printer.
Unfortunately, this means the Amount ends up unclear because of the pre-printed dollar sign (see photo of a check I ran today). Thankfully the checks have been…
1 voteHi everyone, we appreciate you sharing this idea. We understand that having more flexibility when setting up check layouts would help businesses align printed payments with their existing stationery.
The suggestion is to allow more control over print field positioning and layout boundaries, making it easier to adjust checks to suit different formats.
For now, printer settings and scaling options can help fine-tune alignment when printing. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more feedback from businesses with different check layouts.

Bills - Add an option to hide or remove the Memo line on printed Cheque layouts
Allow users to remove or hide the memo line on check-style bill payments. Many businesses do not use the memo field, and it takes up unnecessary space on the check layout. Providing an option to disable or remove the memo line would simplify the check format and allow the check stub to display more relevant information such as vendor details, invoice numbers, or payment references. This would make the check layout more flexible and better suited to different business workflows.
1 voteHi Kevin, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Having the option to hide or remove the memo line on printed cheques could make the cheque layout more adaptable.
A simple layout setting to control this would give more flexibility over what is shown on cheque vouchers, especially where sensitive or internal information is involved.
We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

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 - 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…4 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. 🙂
