Melio - Partial Bill Payments
Currently unable to do a partial bill payment with Melio in Xero. Note: this is a very straightforward process when using Melio directly, but unfortunate now that I've cancelled that subscription and migrated the entire process to Xero).
The support center provided a cumbersome "hack", which really lowers the value of doing this process in Xero (to reduce manual steps/processes). Here's the hack:
(1) Manually record a part payment on the bill for the balance still due (the amount you don’t want to pay now).
(2) Process payment via online bill payments for the balance that’s due now.
(3) Remove the payment you manually applied.
(4) Process payment via online bill payments for the balance of the bill.
Appreciate you sharing this idea with us here, Greg.
