Remittance Advice for Bills

Edit Subject

Hi Andy

Apologies for the lack of response until now. It's a good idea and we'll add it to the list for discussion

I would very much like this feature too, any update Olly?

This would be useful. Is this still on the agenda?

Another +1 from me.

The estimate > invoice worflow is great for work for clients.

An similar bill > remittance advice workflow would be great for suppliers.

Use same contacts database for both.

Andy shared this idea one year ago? C'mon Olly... 8 people have signaled they like this idea and I only stumbled on this because I searched for this feature. How many others would also like this feature is unknown at this stage but I guess it will much more than 8!

Would love to see this added!

Would also like to see this, ideal work flow for me would be:

Access the contacts details, click Remittance
Choose date from, date to
Have option to export a remittance in PDF format or email the contact from within free agent (just like invoicing)

Would also be nice to schedule remittance's to go out monthly, then it would be completely automated

I would love to see this too..

Hello everyone,

Sorry we've not had very much to say on this front.

I'll be honest and say it's not something we're working on right now, but once the next release is out I'll add it to the Depot so we can gauge interest compared with the other features we've got planned.

Sorry, we haven't been able to progress.

Even if there is no option to email the payment advice to the payee, I think it will be great if there's at least the option to generate the payment advice as a PDF. Thanks guys.

Still being very new to FreeAgent, I too came across this thread whilst searching how to send a remittance advice.

One workaround that occurs to me is to send a statement of account and then explain in the notes that this is intended as a remittance which FreeAgent doesn't have the facility to do. A good example of positive action by your clients resulting in unintended negative feedback on FreeAgent, but how else do you explain why your sending them a statement clearly intended for debtors?

Because this is the first business accounting package I have ever used which doen't have the facility to send a remittance advice, perhaps I am just missing a trick somewhere and would welcome any suggestions as to how other users deal with this.

I agree - the option to send a remittance advice to a supplier to confirm payment of a bill would be a great addition. Surprised it has been left out!

I have just started using various suppliers and now realise this feature is missing. Any news on if and when it can be added. Thanks

I too would like this feature

I'd really like this feature too. Definitely something that would help both myself and my suppliers ensure they're marking off correct invoices for payment.

Yep - definitely need this feature as it would save what is currently a manual process. It's a peculiar omission and one which would cause problems if we grew beyond about ten staff.

Definitely need this feature
