the independent online community for xero users

I am a big Xero fan and have been raving about it to anyone who will listen.  I love it, except for one thing.  Supplier Remittance Advice functionality, or lack thereof!!!

I have been getting feedback from numerous clients that this is a big drawback. 

I want to change this, and would like support from other Xero Users - the more people who put their hands up regarding this issue, the more likely the powers that be will make this a priority in the Development To Do List.

Xero, is this not a standard requirement for an Accounting package?

Hi Amelia - seems as though it is a must-have feature based on the growing number of requests we're starting to get for this. I've let the Product Team know of your request as well and it would be great if you've got enough feedback from your clients, or have a specific opinion yourself, to understand how you'd want this to work. Perhaps the most typical workflow/use that people would make of it. That way as we're designing a solution for it we can make sure it meets expectations.

Thanks so much bringing this up - indeed you're right, the more people that can let us know this is needed and how it should work, the better placed we'll be to come up with something.

Regards, Catherine
Hi Catherine,

I think there needs to be a functionality that links with the Batch Payment section of Accounts Payable. There would, however need to be a way to generate a remittance advice for each supplier included in the batch payment.
I would like to second this requirement from Catherine. Due to regular disputes, we often pay invoices out of sequence and remittances are a must to avoid the supplier posting our payment to the oldest invoices first - leaving the account in a mess. I think this should be high up the development list.
I think this would be an excellent addition to the product.  I went looking for this functionality myself and was disappointed it was not there.  I also know that quite a number of my clients would want this - especially those that are coming across from Kashflow as they want Xeros additional functionality.

I was considering moving from Sage to Xero but have been put off by the lack of remittance advices as this is a big part of our process to pay suppliers.  I am quite surprised that this relatively basic functionality does not exist in Xero!

Can I recommend everyone votes here (http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/1093019-...) to ensure xero see visibility of this request.
This would be a great function to add to Xero. Whilst emailing this from within Xero from Batch Payments is advantageous, the ability to issue these individually from the make payment screen as payment is recorded (or created during reconciliation) and also retrospectively would really be outstanding.
David, I noticed you've added a comment onto my uservoice link above but you've not voted - if you click the vote button in the top left and choose the number of votes (max 3 is allowed) the more likely we are to see this functionality, as I'm pretty sure the higher up the list in terms of votes the more visible it is for xero developers.
Steve. This is one of many enhancements I'd love to see. At present all my votes are placed in areas I see as of greater benefit, however will bring points here when I have points available.

I am a relatively new user to Xero and so far so good, until today when I tried to find a Supplier Remittance Advice.

 

Have been working with acccounting packages for many years, and find it very hard to believe that this function is not available.

Hope this can be created very soon, as it will make everyones life alot easier.

Hi Folks. Looking at Xero's Uservoice forum today, remittance advices only had 64 votes (compared with 429 for expanding the API), so those who really need this functionality need to cast their votes here.

Hi all - great to see the comments below and comments with votes on UserVoice regarding supplier remittance.

Good news is we're starting to look at the design for this and just wanted to check back with you or any new users about how you'd expect this to work ... lots of comments about how it's a must-have feature - we hear you! - now we're interested in specifics. We've picked up some pointers from you but interested in any more or the most popular approach i.e. email only, must be printed, individual vs batch processing, customisation, other display requirements etc.

Thanks again for your feedback so far and keep it coming!

Catherine
