Enter your idea

I wonder what your auditors think about that

FYI, to get around this we add "DD" to the contact name so we can easily identify which suppliers are paid by Direct Debit.

I find it a bit concerning that Xero have not recognised that this is the same as enhancement request 48545237-bills-highlight-bills-due-to-be-paid-by-direct which already has 155 votes and many comments. Please get on with it Xero.

It would be very helpful if we could add a category to suppliers to identify those we pay by direct debit and by credit card and to be able to filter or exclude the bills awaiting payment by those categories

Every tiny accounting software I have ever used has the ability to add payment methods to supplier details and consequently filter them out of manual payment runs. How is it possible that Xero, such a well used platform, can't handle what tin pot software companies can? I'm beginning to seriously regret moving to Xero.

I spoke with someone in the development team in depth last week about this and showed them examples, apparently it is a huge job and still not on the Xero roadmap of a 1 day do idea. But changing the layout of the dashboard and invoices is "important" for future updates....

This suggestion is four years old. It needs a new field. It doesn't need a new app that we have to pay for to integrate into Xero for direct payments - it just needs a sort field - how hard is that??

How is it possible that this idea has 226 votes, and it's not even being considered by Xero??? This is a seriously critical feature! We have hundreds of bills open at any given time, and we issue payment runs once a week, we've had to develop an elaborate contact naming and bill reference field system just to indicate how that supplier should be paid. It seems like such an oversight with all these integrating banking options and apps and ERP/CRM systems, that Xero can't simply surface a payment method field. Please please please develop this. All we need is a freefrom text field, really.

Every time I have to pay a bill I have to change the account that the payment is coming from. We have 5 Bank accounts. If a default payment method could be added it would save time. I pay all my bills manually, either online or with a check.

This absolutely needs to be added

This would be hugely beneficial, but maybe also include an option for debit/credit card as well as DD, manual bank payment

It is critical that a payment type column should be added. I have to check each bill in case they are credit card paid bills (pre-statement upload) in case I pay thinking they are bills to be paid by bank (feed). This can result in bills being paid twice by card and bank unnoticed.
If Dext can have a column for payment type (specifying what "Area of Xero it goes to"), surely Xero can too?

Currently add a 'DD' to the reference line, but this way would be better!

This function would really help when filtering payments in awaiting payment.

Would be very helpful to avoid double paying suppliers

Hi, I would like to see a function where you can identify bills to pay and bills that are direct debit on the awaiting payments tab. We enter bills for pretty much everything even direct debits as Xero interacts with our stock system and this is how we keep track of things. As you can imagine our awaiting payments screen gets pretty full and not all are payable. An icon next to the contact name would be great to tell them apart.

When entering an invoice, it would be helpful to include how the invoice is being paid, ie by DD or cash. This could show on the aged payables report also.

I'm surprised this one hasn't been done yet
It is a simple update and a big win for both user and xero
Hurry Up

this is def needed. it would make my life so much easier
