Remittance Advice functionality

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 Catherine,

I think there needs to be a Generate Remittance button within the Accounts Payable invoices, at the bottom next to the Add Payment button that generates a remittance and then gives the option to email or print PDF, similar to the other Xero forms.

There also needs to be Generate Remittances button in the Batch Payments section, next to the Export Batch File button. This should then bring up a screen similar to the Send Statements screen where you select the suppliers you want to send the Remittances too and email them, or you can click on them and generate a PDF.

Great to hear this is happening! What is the expected time frame?

Errr, nothing much expected right now - the design phase often happens well in advance of scheduled work so right now I can't give a time frame. And as is often the case, when we see how something looks we end up going back to the drawing board. I'll keep you posted with any news!

Yes I agree, remittance is a key part in our business too! Most of our suppliers require remittance advice to be sent to them, so if this feature was created it would be a huge benefit to our company.

Whilst the full implementation of Remittance advices as part of the batch process is completed, would it be possible to include in the interim a Print Remittance near the Payment option button on Payments. Using your browser print button provides a decent looking report that can be sent to suppliers. I have printed this to a PDF on occasions when its required and it does the trick.

A properly formatted advice as part of the batch process is ideal, but a quick fix would be great.
