Hi everyone, we understand the high importance of more flexibility in how you pay your supplier. As you may have read on our website online bill payments in AU is currently in beta, with plans to roll out to more organisations soon.
Once available to your organisation this agnostic solution, will give you multiple options of how your supplier receives funds, including BPAY as requested in this idea.
I'll come back and share once online bill payments become available to all Australian organisations. In the meantime you can find out more and sign up to the beta on our website. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion to add a “Check VAT” action in Xero Contacts to verify VAT numbers directly with HMRC John. We can see how this would be a helpful addition for ongoing supplier checks ✨.We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so others can vote and add real-world examples. The more detail you can share about when and how you’d use this (for example, one-off checks during setup vs. quarterly reviews), the better we can assess impact and prioritisation. We’ll continue to monitor interest and will update this thread if there’s progress to share.

We are the same, the ABR has a publicly available API to connect to its data to confirm the ABN and GST registrations (Australia). Ideally, to meet compliance, Xero should be built so that if a contact is not registered for GST, you can not enter the bill with GST and there is a flag for any contact where the ABN is not registered, as we need to withhold a percent to the ATO from payment.

Hi Jessica, thanks for bringing this idea to our attention. We understand that a single view showing key items like outstanding invoices, upcoming bills, and unreconciled transactions across all your organisations could make it easier to prioritise work and keep on top of daily tasks without switching organisations.
We’ve updated the idea to Gaining Support while we continue tracking the interest and feedback shared here.

Hi Jessica, thanks for sharing your idea here. Batch payments are designed to be downloaded and uploaded without the need for any changes to be made outside of Xero. We'd be keen to get a bit more understanding of the control risk you're referring to. 😃
However, automation of batch payments is a great idea in itself so we've opened this up to the community to gain more support. We'll monitor this space in the meantime and provide any feedback on any changes or updates.

Thanks Sonal :)
The control risk I was referring to was that the ABA file can be edited between download and upload and the approver in the bank portal would be none the wiser.
Additionally, the Commbiz platform has a very lengthy process to upload ABA files to their portals (5 screens requiring click through) which is time consuming when we manage 32 Xero files and so preparing 32 payment batches.
I know Microsoft Dynamics 365 has this functionality with Commbiz.

Appreciate your feedback, Harpal and I want to assure you we're committed to improving this experience. We have recently released our new Smart Document Capture tool in Xero Files to the UK and will be releasing it to the rest of world very soon. I'll round back to confirm once it's live to everyone.

Hi everyone, our product teams are continuously reviewing and reprioritising their roadmaps for future work and although we don’t have any plans to change the credit application process this year, this is something we will investigate more closely in 2026.
As we begin to explore work for enabling credit notes in the bill payments flow, we’ll reach out for input to help us shape the design and approach so we cater for the widest possible requirements. Thank you all, and we’ll be back to share when exploration starts.

Hi christine, is this a common situation you find yourself or business running into? It'd be good to understand more detail if there are common circumstances that lead you to needing to edit a batch payment after it's been created.
For the time being we'll start to feel out the interest in this from community. Thanks!

Appreciate your sharing on lock date controls. Being able to remove lock dates for specific users can help maintain accounting information .
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, so the community can vote and comment. If you have any details about how you’d use it, adding them here will help everyone understand the idea better and give the product team more context down the line.
We’ll update more here once we gain more traction.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important more control over lock dates is for protecting your data integrity and supporting your workflows.
As part of our wider review of roles and permissions across Xero, we’re pleased to let you know that this is a feature that we’re exploring controls in and reviewing the viability of. We'll keep you updated here as our plans shape up further.

Thanks for the engagement on this idea, team. You may have noticed over the past year we have made some updates to the Bills list screen that allows you to choose which columns to view, as well as introducing quick view which should make it a bit easier to see the tax and amounts you're after without needing to navigate away from the list.
Just to confirm while you can add Total, as column there is no tax amount column right now, and this isn't something we have planned atm however we'll continue to watch the appetite here.

Thanks for this update. Unfortunately the new Online Bill Payments function will not be able to be utilised by us as the payment release is single approval. Our organisation governance requires dual approval for all payment releases. Therefore, this functionality is still needed for those of us unable to utilise online bill payments due to insufficient governance controls.
