Thanks for your valuable feedback and for sharing the idea of "Bill payment reminder alerts or emails." It's clear this feature would be a significant improvement. As a current workaround, you can use the existing due date field in Xero to sort your bills and set a separate calendar reminder in your preferred app. While we work on assessing this idea, I want to share that we're exploring bill payment reminders for users with multiple initiatives in progress. We appreciate all your feedback and votes, as they help us better understand the impact and benefits of this feature, and we'll be sure to update this page with any new developments.

    This feature is way overdue. Many xero customers have been asking for this for the last few years. It is a MUST for our business now, with many bills that we can no longer manually track. Zoho and other smaller options are already doing this and Xero has to add it immediately.

    I'd like this where I can also select which payees to remind for, e.g. some are direct debit so I don't need to remember to pay them.

    Hi Xero Team Members, please create this option since it is one of the important features to me to receive an email reminder for bills that are due or will be due to be paid in Bills to Pay in Xero Blue. Thank you.

    We can automatically remind people to pay us, so we should certainly be able to automatically remind ourselves to pay our vendors.

    Like everyone else, I'm surprised this isn't already a feature. It should have been in the Top 10 list of things Xero should have, but certainly after Correct Math.

  • Christine Higgins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please!! We have payment terms on invoices. The business owner who makes the payment is not in Xero on a regular basis and needs to be reminded to pay the bills.

    This would make life so much easier. Especially for a business like ours where there are rents due at different times of the month.

  • Yvonne McCallum commented  ·   ·  Report

    From my perspective, for annual repeating invoices, it would be good to have an internal reminder 1 month before an invoice will be sent to client, to contact client to request an updated PO or adivse about new cost for services provided. As far as I can see, the functionality for internal alerts is not something that Xero can do. A function only exists for contacting clients about overdue invoices.

  • Shaun Ridewood commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is it possible to set up alerts / reminders for internal users when an invoice due date is passed so that the internal user then has a reminder to call the customer and chase up?

  • Leanne Fromont commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes this would be very helpful,I have voted, I use the expected date on bills that are outside the normal 20th batch runs to highlight them on the approved bills tab, but to have a notification for those if it is not paid by the expected date would be amazing.

    This feels like a fairly simple feature to implement, and one that would benefit all users.

  • Amy Munro commented  ·   ·  Report

    We would really benefit from this feature

  • Dima Almekdad commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm quite surprised this feature is not available already as it is quite basic!

  • Selena Suchy commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was surprised that this feature wasn't already available!

  • Lyndel Delahunty commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a no-brainer. As a bookkeeper I prepare bills to be paid but it’s up to the business owner to pay. A lot of business owners concentrate on their business and not their bookkeeping. This would be so helpful. Cheers lyndel
