This is a basic function which is, sadly, absent. It needs to be added to ensure aged payables reports are as accurate as possible.

Massively support this idea!

So frustrating that Xero doesn't seem to care about accounting records and reports being correct.

yet another obvious requirement - can't see why the bills can't be edited.

So many things that never seem to happen with Xero, what are the things that get priority?
Maybe time to recruit more programmers?

+1 please add this feature in XERO, my boss has gone mad because of the overdue red flags appears in her tab.

I have found this post after becoming frustrated with 100s of 'overdue' expenses cluttering up my supplier payments - we to pay expenses once a month in one batch but at the minute i have to scroll through lines and lines of expenses to spot actual supplier payments and when they are due. So frustrating and easy to miss other things.

This would help a lot of our clients!

we urgently need this as it's providing inaccurate reports for overdue payments

We need the ability to edit the due date completely! Just like with bills/invoices. All our expense claims are generally from the directors buying extra equipment in a quiet month, so they don't expect to be reimbursed for a couple of months. It is very annoying showing in 'overdue' on the dashboard/ in AP.
If we have the ability to amend the date then I can focus on paying creditors who need the payment.
Some of them automate to approval date - but if I don't approve them on entry I will forget!

+1 Completely agree and need this feature.

It is very important for scheduling the payment of expenses claims and by having the default date as the day of approval masks the true list of overdue invoices.

Thinking of moving to a third party expense solution for this

Either set a defauly against provider (i.e. end of month/4 weeks from creation) or at least allow the user to set/edit on the payment itself.

This is an inconvenience and causes unnecessary confusion over what is actually due. I would expect this is a fairly simple fix. Could you please prioritise? Thanks

Definitely need a way to get rid of the sea of red (overdue) expenses!

In addition, I think there should be the option to let employees know when it will be paid.
I appreciate that it can be done by creating a payment for the expenses, which will in turn notify the employee that the payment is planned. But there needs to be a bit more detail and feedback for the employee.

If you opt to not create a payment for the expenses (which we don't as more expenses might crop up), the employee gets a notification stating that their expenses are on their way ONLY once the expense is reconciled. By that point, the money is already in the employees bank account.

If you were to set a due date (or planned date) for the expense(s), it should tell the employee the date it is planned to be paid. It should also update the due date.

Agree, coming from a previous (old thread), I cannot believe we do not have this yet.

I agree that we should be able to set the due date when people submit the reimbursement or payment through Xero expenses. We process the payment in 14 days but there are always overdue bills because the due date is set randomly, some is 1 days after the expense date, some is 7 days that I dont know why.
