Bills to Pay - Ability to filter by Contact Group
Xero is very limited by only allowing 200 invoices to show on the page on the awaiting payment screen - a filter to exclude some clients based on the client type would be helpful
e.g. creating a client type for direct debit payments would help reduce the number of invoices.

The ability to filter Bills for payment by contact group would be really helpful / time saving. In our case, we have a contact group set up for suppliers that will accept payment by Credit Card. It would be so helpful if we could filter by this group when doing our payment runs so we have a list on screen of just those bills we are going to pay by card.

Also ability to filter or exclude certain contacts. We have certain vendors that have multiple invoices a week and it would be helpful to specifically exclude some of them in the bills to pay view but still be able to see all the other outstanding bills. This way, things like amazon or other high freq vendors are not cluttering the view of who needs to be paid.

Is this something we can expect soon admin? This will save a lot of time and enhance workflow.

It's rather silly that you can create contact groups and/or smart lists, but then not use them when viewing invoices or bills. What's the point?
Surely adding groups and smart lists to the filter option on both the Invoices and Bills screens isn't that hard to achieve? -

Please bring this in - it would make it much easier to have the ability to filter or at least have the column displayed to identify at a glance which bills are paid via credit card, BPAY etc.

This one should be a no-brainer. Would be mighty useful to filter bills awaiting payment by Employee, Contractor, Direct Debit, Bpay/Credit Card, etc.

Filter by Contact Group would be amazing. I've setup groups for payments paid by Bacs and those paid by DD, Then I went to do a payment batch and I expected to be able to setup a batch payment using the filter. Please bring this in!

Please add contact 'group' to the columns drop down list in Bills "awaiting payment" list.
That way I can customize my payment batch by group, including my newly created ON-HOLD contact group.
Refer attached mock up image.

Agree - contact groups arent useful unless they can be used to filter payments/invoices etc.

This would be very useful for me. The ability to filter out bills paid by direct debit would also avoid us paying them manually.

Will save a l lot of time by if we can filter direct debits out of the list of 200 items on the paymentt screen - wont have to do two batch payments each time
