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.

I totally agree, this seems like a basic function to me, that it should be able to drag into the remittance email the reference and the amount.

Hi community, thanks for sharing your thoughts on being able to send remittance advice in bulk from the Account Transactions screen. We appreciate you explaining how this could help simplify payment workflows.
We’ve reviewed this idea and agree it’s a valuable one. It’s not something on the current roadmap right now, but it’s an area the team would like to explore in the future.
In the meantime, we’d love to hear more about how this would help in your day-to-day work. The more examples and votes we have, the better we can understand what matters most when we start looking into it. Thanks again for all your input and continued feedback!

With the introduction of batch payments, the time savings are significant. However, this benefit is largely lost by having to send remittance advices individually. The efficiency gained by paying suppliers directly from Xero is completely undermined when remittances must still be issued one by one.
The ability to send batch remittance advices alongside batch payments is therefore an essential and urgent upgrade.

Hi team, we appreciate the feedback here and how an easier method of sending Remittance would be useful for some users.
While this isn't in the direct pipeline just yet we're staying close to the ideas around this in the forums here and will be sure to notify you of any progress.

As a business user managing payments across multiple suppliers, I strongly support this request.
The current process for sending remittances is extremely manual and time-consuming, particularly when processing large payment runs. The ability to generate and send remittances in bulk should be standard functionality within modern accounting software.
Equally important is that key information should automatically flow through from the payment transaction into the remittance advice. This should include, at a minimum:
Supplier name
Payment date
Payment reference
Amount paid
Invoices included in the payment
Any credits or adjustments applied
Users should not have to manually enter information that Xero already holds against the payment. The system already knows which invoices have been paid, the payment reference used, and the value of the transaction.
For organisations processing dozens or hundreds of payments each month, manually creating individual remittances is inefficient, increases administrative workload, and introduces unnecessary risk of errors. Bulk remittance functionality with automatic extraction of payment details would save significant time, improve supplier communication, and bring Xero in line with what many users would consider a basic accounts payable requirement.
Please rectify this basic omission before focusing development effort on additional apps and peripheral features. Bulk remittance processing is not a niche requirement. It is a core function needed by virtually every organisation that uses Xero to pay suppliers. Many of the newer app integrations are optional and only relevant to specific sectors or use cases, whereas remittances are a fundamental part of day-to-day accounts payable for all users.
This is basic accounting software functionality that businesses have reasonably expected for many years. The fact that Xero already holds all the necessary payment data makes the absence of automated bulk remittances even more difficult to understand.
This is not a "nice to have" feature. For finance teams it is a fundamental operational requirement that should have been available for years. It would deliver immediate value to a far greater proportion of the Xero customer base than many of the features currently being developed.
