Hi team, appreciate wanting an update - I'm pleased to share the beta went well and we've now launched international bill payments for our UK customers, making it easier to pay overseas suppliers.
Using open banking, UK businesses can now securely send money to 180+ countries including Europe (EUR), America (USD) and Australia (AUD). So you don't have to juggle multiple platforms or hidden fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once, you can authorise payments prepared by your team and easily track which suppliers have been paid.
We’re committed to new ways to expand our bill payments feature for small businesses and their advisors in other regions by leveraging new technologies, where available. I'll keep you updated of any further developments for this, here.

We don't need to make actual payments via Xero (these are set up and approved separately in our bank), however we do need to mark multiple foreign currency bills as paid in Xero (and send out a remittance advice). Is this covered in the fix you are working on?

Hi team, we want to acknowledge your feedback and the needs you’ve expressed for being able to view the transaction line description in the account transactions report.
While we appreciate not the news you’re hoping for here - we want to be honest with you all that there are no plans at this stage to change the behaviour of this report.
We appreciate there can be some confusion of what is shown as it does differ based on the account and the line’s origin. We have added detail within our Xero Central article, but I’ve also noted below for ease of reference.
- For accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank accounts, and tax account, it shows the contact’s name.
- For all other accounts, it shows the contact’s name and the item line description.
- As manual journals don’t have contacts, it shows narration and description.
- For wage payments, Payroll Employee displays in…

Sadly lack of progress (or comment) on seemingly easy fix ideas appears to be path of the course for Xero ...!

Thank you for engaging with us about how we could develop Invoice reminders so you can get more out of using this feature.
We've begun some research to help develop the future of Invoice reminders. I'd like to share this form where you can sign up to be a part of this.
Our team may reach out for input in surveys or direct interviews throughout the research, and you feedback would be very valuable in this.

I agree. It would be really nice to at least have a response from Xero on this... there are requests/ideas with far fewer votes that are under consideration. Plus, I believe this would be a really simple fix as it's just the addition of a tick box (a bit like the tick box when sending invoices)!!

I genuinely don't see why this wasn't added as a feature at the outset of invoice reminders ... it's an option when sending out the original invoice, so why not the reminder? Surely it's a simply fix (and therefore 'quick win') for Xero? It would be lovely to actually have a response from Xero on this!

Hi team, we've now extended sending invoices via SMS to customers in the US. This is a free feature for all paid plans in AU and US, and can be used in addition to, or as an alternative to sending an invoice via email.
See detail on how sending invoices via SMS works on Xero Central.
Again, at this time there is no way to automate SMS messaging via Invoice reminders. We'll update you if there is any word of this here.

You would have thought that this would already have been thought about as it is critical for any business to ensure they are invoicing customers correctly. Repeating invoices are suppose to make life easier, but if the latest inventory selling price doesn't feed through the wasted time and mistakes just add up!

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.

Hi team, we highly value all the feedback we've received through this request, and understand wanting more functionality to manage communications with suppliers directly through Xero.
As you may have read on our blog, we're redesigning the purchase orders experience, and our product teams have paid close attention to ideas for purchase orders in these forums.
I'm pleased to share that being able to include file attachments when sending purchase orders is being developed into this new experience. I'll update again as this feature rolls out to customers. 😊

Hi community, we totally get why you'd like to easily track partially received goods or services against a single purchase order, and to see the remaining balance within Xero.
With the new Purchase orders experience that’ll be coming soon, our team has paid close attention to the flows and different needs in managing supplier goods that have been expressed through product ideas.
Our team is looking to solve needs for tracking partial amounts received, so we’ll keep you updated of progress surrounding this here. 🙂

This just seems like common sense, I don't understand why it's not already a feature.
@Kelly Munro. Please could you explain why you launch a "solution" to a problem that doesn't actually do what your customers are asking you to do? I simply want Xero to add up multiple supplier invoices and mark them as paid in one go in Xero and send one remittance advice to cover the lot. It's possible in GBP, but not in a foreign currency. It's just numbers, they add up in the same way so why?! I am not willing or ready to try your 'bill payments' feature.
