As others have said - this feature is important. A lot of times our orders are put on hold as we don't have the means to manage credit limits. This also would need to link in when raising purchase orders and alert our buyer when our credit limit will exceed if he places the order. We rely on suppliers contacting us instead , which results in early payments being made which then has an impact on cashflow

I don't understand why such a vital feature as supplier credit limits was removed? This needs to be reinstated!

If we had this feature it allows us to manage our risks and it will adds benefits to our clients allowing them to make sure that we manage our cash flow beneficially.

Surely this is standard accounting practice to be able to set credit limits for both customers and suppliers. It is crucial for us to monitor the overspend ourselves instead we have to wait until our suppliers shout at us because we have exceeded the limit.

We do two way trading so ideally need a field for the sale credit limit and purchase credit limit under one contact record. Seems like a simple request to implement and would help immensely.

I see this has been a request since 2016 but activity has increased on it recently. Let's keep shouting so it gets heard.

We moved from Sage to Xero February 2019. Can't remember if the credit limits were imported - however I have been setting C/L for both Customer + Supplier until the recent update a few months ago. It was Xero that advised C/L for supplier is shown under "Sale Default". The screen shot is for one of our suppliers.

Were you using a generic contact - ie not setting as a customer or a supplier - or by chance were pay the top tier of fees for Xero. This option has never been availing to me as a small business since 2020

I have sent a screen shot to Xero support that proves we were always able to add credit limits for suppliers until a recent update. It appears the credit limit has defaulted to Sales and not Purchases. "We are currently investigating this and we will be in touch once i have received an update from our product team".

This is a huge miss by xero... We need to be able to view our credit limits easily as they can be forgotten about, every supplier we have a different credit limit.

This is critical, especially in larger organisation trying to manage cashflow. It would be great if this could be added.

Many thanks

This has always been a feature in Xero until a recent update

Would be very useful for us to avoid going on stop with suppliers as we have exceeded our credit limit. We work in construction and delays us when we are told that we can no longer have any orders shipped.
With this option we would be forewarned and could be pro-active in finding resolutions.

I have nowhere to keep a track of this in Xero.

This is essential in order that I don't get put on stop - which is critical - sometimes heavy spend with one supplier is needed, and need to know if paymnet is needed, rather than just a due date!

It's in the customer files - so why not supliers?

It is very important that we have the ability to know our credit limit with suppliers. This is a standard feature on all other accounting packages and is available on the sales ledger side so why is this not possible on the purchase ledger side?

This is a vital fundamental business necessity!

Really need to see our credit limit with our suppliers. Please can this be added to Xero. Thanks.

Critical to be able to see our credit terms with our suppliers. Why has it been removed?!

Does Xero even see these requests?

Can you please ADD A FEATURE to the credit limit for the Supplier Contacts this is vital in order to monitor our accounts. Important feature as this assist with managing the total spending with suppliers. We are frequently put on hold with suppliers due to our credit limit being exceeded. It would be great to be notified by Xero when our supplier accounts reach the credit limit spend set against that supplier.
