Hi everyone, we appreciate wanting to hear from us on this idea and apologies for not commenting sooner. I can assure you this has not gone unnoticed and internally there have been reviews and discussions for how batch payments can be improved. We have the appetite, but as with all developments this must be weighed up and considered against many other important changes needed in product.
We want to be upfront that developing the ability to include Credit notes in Batch payments has not been planned at this stage.
As some may have seen, we do have work going on around being able to include Credit Notes as part of the reconciliation process. We understand for many on this idea the timing of including credit notes when you’re creating the batch payments is crucial, however we hope that when delivered at least being able to reconcile these more efficiently…

Batchpay add-on may help with this... Extra cost might make sense for some businesses.

This should be a no brainer. We currently add the supplier invoice number to the reference field, but leave the PO number in there too. This at least means that the search (when it works) can find the invoice by PO most of the time.

Hi team, we pleased to share that we've released some more features, enabling more users to pay suppliers without logging into your bank!
For our UK customers we've made paying overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments.
Using open banking, you 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, authorise payments prepared by your team and easily track which suppliers have been paid.
We've also just launched bill payments in Xero for customers in the US, powered by BILL.
You can make simple, secure payments directly from Xero. You'll be able to authorize payments prepared by your team, and easily track which vendors have been paid. Plus, gain access to millions of vendors over the BILLTM network, and…

Xero literally just announced that they are removing this feature for NZ ASB customers.
We use this for almost every bill payment.
It loads every payment into the bank for us, and then we just have to do into the bank to make a bulk approval.
The announcement says they are instead prioritizing features that add value for customers, which hardly explains why they are removing value!
Apparently Xero has new requirements that the banks can't comply with currently. Here's an idea... Use the existing method!
It's like building a very smart car that considers some intersections to be unsafe, so refuses to drive through them.Instead we now have to download a CSV and upload to the bank (1972 tech).
Or pay each bill manually.So I guess don't hold much hope Xero will 'add' this feature when they are actively removing it from jurisdictions that have it.

Xero Payroll is basically non-compliant.
It can't work out holiday pay correctly, has no idea about statutory holidays. Doesn't work out sick pay, basically forcing you to manually adjust everything.
But don't complain, they might remove the feature to prioritize 'improving' the product!
Xero team, you could fix this quickly by allowing a negative value on an invoice.
Then a credit can be processed as a negative value invoice - allowing perfectly acceptable batch payments.
Or you could allow a negative invoice to be called a something a little more normal, like perhaps 'a credit'.
Allowing negative value invoices (aka credits... shhhhh.) would take a fairly short time. If you made this an option that had to be manually turned on in settings, it might take a bit longer... maybe 30 days and 180 cups of coffee.
