Bills - bills created from uploaded files should apply contact defaults
Allow bills created from the files inbox to use a default VAT rate which could be set in the supplier record, this will massivley speed review of these bill, or where the category is picked up by Xero, use the default VAT rate for that category.
At the moment it takes longer to process bills through the inbox, than the old way as draft bills, although more information is recorded, I'm not sure of the benefit of a slower process

Hi Keith, thanks for sharing your feedback. We can understand why you'd like contact defaults to automatically apply when creating bills from uploaded files.
At the moment, bills created from uploaded files don't automatically inherit all of the defaults saved against a contact. This means there can be some additional review and manual coding required before the bill is approved.
For now, you'll still be able to apply these details manually when reviewing the bill, and some customers may find tools like Hubdoc helpful for streamlining parts of their document processing workflow.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and understanding how this could improve your accounts payable workflows.
