How to Process Remittances with More Than 200 Invoices

Overview

Xero has a hard limit of 200 invoices per batch payment. When a remittance covers more than 200 invoices, you can't create a single batch payment for it — Remittance Go handles this automatically by splitting the payment into multiple batches. This tutorial walks through how that process works and how to reconcile the resulting batches in the Xero bank feed.

The 200-invoice limit

Any remittance with more than 200 invoices cannot be posted to Xero as a single batch payment. If you have 300 invoices, Remittance Go will create two batches — one for the first 200 and a second for the remaining 100. For 900 invoices, it would create five batches: four lots of 200 and one of 100.

Uploading and reviewing the remittance

Upload the remittance PDF in Remittance Go as normal — click Remittances File and select your document. Once processed, click Review to see the full review summary. All invoices will be listed, matched, and ready for posting regardless of how many there are.

Check the payment date and bank account are correct, then click Create Batch Payment.

Automatic batch splitting

Because this remittance exceeds 200 invoices, Remittance Go automatically creates multiple batch payments in Xero. You'll see a separate View Batch Payment in Xero link for each batch — one per 200-invoice block plus the remainder.

Both batches will share the same reference number, which is important for the reconciliation step.

Reconciling in Xero

Head to the bank feed screen in Xero and find the incoming deposit you need to reconcile. Use Find & Match and search for the reference number — both (or all) batch payments created by Remittance Go will appear.

Select all the matching batches so their combined total equals the deposit amount, then click OK to finalise the reconciliation. Xero applies all batches against the single incoming payment in one step.
