    Hi everyone, appreciate this idea has been in a state of Under review fro some time. While it was something our teams we're looking into, this work has had to be put down with other priorities that have transcended. 

    For now, we'll shift back to 'submitted' where we can continue to track appetite. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change in this space. Thanks

    I can only assume Xero are deliberately not fixing this to drive demand towards their in-house payment system.

    Xero already exports "our" reference (the batch ref) into each line of the BACs file in the section where the supplier reference is supposed to go. They literally just need to make it pull that field from the appropriate line of the batch payment screen.

    I wonder how many thousands of hours are being wasted by Xero users manually editing payments refs in their bank, or by suppliers struggling to allocate payments due to this issue.
