Create pay runs for international invoices within Telleroo's Xero Bills section. Here is a link for the GBP guidance.

Please note: This feature is enabled as default for accountancies and businesses directly using Telleroo. If you are a client to an accountancy in Telleroo, please ask your accountant to enable Xero Bills and you will be able to access this feature.

In Telleroo, go to Xero Bills.

Here you will find all of your unpaid Xero invoices. You can filter these by date, due date, or planned date. You can also filter these by currency.

Select which invoices you'd like to pay and click Create pay run.

As an optional step, you can add a custom Pay run name.

You'll see that Payment date is set to today. That's because international payments send immediately after approval.

For payment references, you can choose between contact or invoice references.

If there is no bank account stored in Xero, you'll see either No bank details or invoice in Xero or Add missing bank details under Bank Account.

If you see No bank details or invoice in Xero, click this to open Xero and add the invoice to the bill payment. Telleroo requires an invoice for the bill payment to scan the bank details.

If you see Add missing bank details, click this and a pop-up will appear.

Our bank scanner is only available for Xero invoices in EUR, USD, CAD, AUD SGG and CHF.

Click Scan invoice bank details and our scanner will extract the bank details from the invoice PDF.

You then just need to check the extracted details are correct before clicking Accept details.

Telleroo bears no responsibility for the bank details populated, please ensure you have checked that the bank details match those on the invoice.

Telleroo automatically adds these bank details to Xero for you.

If you attempt to scan bank details without the Bank Details Manager permission, you will get an error message saying you don't have the authority to scan the bank details and to contact an admin of your account.

If you'd like to part pay an invoice, change the Payable amount.

You can also add notes visible to other team members.

Click Create pay run. Your pay run will be created and sent for approval.


Choose where we source payee details in Xero

Telleroo checks that the payee details you provide matches with their bank account.

In Xero, payee details can be stored under either contact or financial details.

To avoid partial and no matches during checks, you can choose which name Telleroo should use, and we’ll save your preference for future payments.

If you want Telleroo to always use either contact or financial details for all new Xero recipients, update your Xero settings.
