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.

We want to thank everyone for the attention this idea has drawn. It’s clear from the many votes and detailed comments that having the ability to pay supplier bills with BPAY from Xero is a high-value feature for our Australian customers.
We understand the desire in this and see how this functionality would enhance your use of Xero, and it is definitely on our radar.
As you may have heard, our product team's current focus is on developing our bill payment solutions like we’ve delivered in the UK to more regions, with sights currently set on AU.
Your feedback here is valuable to the team as we explore what this experience will look like. Though we can’t commit to any timelines as yet, BPAY is a feature that we’ll be aiming to support through our new solution. We’ll keep you updated on further news and progress for this, through the…

Hi Harpal, just to dig into this a little deeper - Are there particular fields you're wanting Xero to auto fill that aren't currently populating? Or is there specific functionality you feel could be improved with the auto creation of bills?

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 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.
