Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on automatic remittance sending.
We understand the efficiencies this could provide to your workflows and it's something our product team have reviewed and are interested in developing, however we do not have this work planned just yet. We’ll let you know here if there’s any more news about this in our future roadmap.

Once again, Xero fails to have a basic function that most other accounting packages have. It really suggests that Xero is for a small sole trader business and not geared for anything bigger. Batch payments are how any business makes payments and should automatically email a remittance advice to the supplier. How can this not be standard function?

This is an essential accounting function for any system. If a company was to be audited, failure to have this function would be seen as a critical failure of accounting compliance. I cannot understand why this is not already in place

Hi everyone, thank you for continuing to share how important it is to clearly identify bills that need attention before they’re paid. We understand the impact this has on teams managing bills and avoiding payments being made before a query is resolved.
While a user control flagging mechanism is not directly in the pipeline yet, we want you to know that your feedback and the volume of support here is getting to the right places.
Our product teams are continuing to consider this wider workflow (not just adding a standalone flag) as they plan and shape our direction for bills.
We’re working towards making it easier to manage payments out of your business, with clearer ways to understand which bills need action as part of a more connected bills and payments experience.
The new bills approval flow which we’re currently developing is an example of this - once available admins…

As Xero does not have the standard functionality of a document (invoice) date and document posting date, we have to enter a supplier invoice in the same month as we receive it to capture the cost correctly, even if the is a dispute on the invoice. Having the ability to flag it as "In dispute" eliminates the possibility of it being paid by mistake

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hi team, thank you for sticking with us on this one. Online bill payments are now live in Australia through Airwallex, so you can pay supplier bills directly from Xero without logging into online banking.
As mentioned in my last update;
- In the US we have bill pay powered by Melio, with quick payments and contact syncing.
- We offer bill pay with Crezco for our UK customers, including international payments with 32+ currencies supported.
We’re reviewing the experience across additional regions and will continue to share updates as we learn more and make further progress.

Again, this feature should be standard in a modern accounting software package. You should at least be able to do a payment run in Xero and generate an ABA file to upload to your banking platform

Hi community, we understand there are differing needs in this idea for why you’d like a separate posting date alongside the invoice or bill date. Whether it’s for reporting, compliance, or just a more accurate view of when things happened.
While this has been carefully considered, we want to be transparent with everyone here, that this is not something we have plans for developing in the near term.
We know given the interest in this that this is not the update you’re hoping for, and please know that we’ll continue to track votes this idea receives for future consideration. We’ll keep you posted if things change down the line.

This is a critical standard accounting practice. A document date should never be altered and should be able to be posted to the general ledger, the day it is keyed into Xero, not by the document date. I find it hard to believe that Xero does not accommodate this.

It seems Xero is not interested in improving financial functionality at all. Functions that are basic to other financial systems, Xero does not think are important. Just like having separate fields for posting date and document date to comply with accounting standards which Xero does not plan to do as they can't see the importance, they don't see that automatically sending a remittance advice should be a basic function.
Are there any finance people that work in the Xero development team?
