Given how different customers and suppliers reporting seems to be, I guess the underlying design of these modules is a lot different.
But yes - an accounts package without credit limits for suppliers is a serious oversight!

Not sure how this still isn't a thing, should be easy coding wise since it exists for Contacts (Customer) so is just a formula for Contacts (Suppliers) for Bills rather than invoices? Xero Team please get it added!

This is a must, especially if there is a field to record the terms that Suppliers provide, having the credit limit field completes the supplier record.

I totally agree with previous comments, credit limits, flags for disputed invoices & supplier activity statements are a must.

Yes this needs to be an option to add supplier credit limits so it can let us know when it has been exceeded as we put invoices on. There should also be an option to flag a disputed invoice.

To be honest the whole supplier process in Xero is awful - no credit limits, no disputed flag available, no supplier statements, inability to "pay" credit notes as they have to be allocated to totally unrelated invoices .... whoever designed this module needs a serious talking to!

This surely must be so easy to implement and would be great to have. Seems a bit nuts that its not possible.
XERO - PLEASE PLEASE SORT THIS FUNCTIONALITY OUT

This is very important for cashflow management and ensuring we can place orders/anticipate suppliers putting the account on hold.

This is available in Sage and Xero have this for customers but not suppliers?

This is a basic requirement and should definitely be implemented urgently - it doesn't sound overly complex to code. I have suppliers who keep putting my clients on stop as we go over various different credit limits. I need to be able to set this in Xero so it flags up when we've gone over and I can make an interim payment.

This should be part of the basic functionality. You have it for customers, why not suppliers?

It would be good if it worked somehow with Purchase Orders, so when a purchase order is raised it gives a notification that Open Purchase Order's amount to $0.00. Suppliers Credit Limit is $1000.00

It is not an ideal solution to keep having to access the supplier details for this information, to see this information at a glance would be more efficient. Being able to add this information is crucial to knowing when we are near to the limits as well as exceeded

Suppliers and customers needs a lot of updating they are treated to much alike. But then Xero allows this function for customers and not suppliers which is odd. It would be good to see when the supplier credit limits are exceeded.

@melanie - yep - to be honest, I think the whole supplier side of Xero is shocking! So much basic functionality is missing ..... If I know now what I was told back when we moved, I think I would have thought a bit longer about moving to Xero ....

As this is a function for customers (after some time!) I don't understand why it can't be an option for suppliers!
We are given limits from our suppliers and it would be good to see when these limits are exceeded! Surely this is just another basic accounts package function that XERO is missing!

Agree that being able to enter a Supplier limit is critical.

What is the use of having credit limits approved when filling in a credit application if you don't even have it in the system to keep an eye on.

I would have thought this function would be a basic thing to have. You have it for customers why not suppliers.

For easier financial management & decision making in Accounts Payable, the Companies Credit Limit's with the suppliers is increasingly critical, Ideally this would also incorporate a notification when credit limits are being approached combining total Accounts Payable amounts with Unbilled Approved Purchase Orders

This is very important for my company to have that on.
