Bills - Awaiting Payment bills summary by supplier
Bills - View bills awaiting payment summarised by supplier with the ability to expand supplier to view invoices and select individually or make changes if required.
You need to use the awaiting payment screen to create batch payments. To make payments you have to select each individual invoice for a supplier which takes time and is inefficient.
Having the ability to view the awaiting payment screen showing summary (total) for the supplier would be helpful. You can still filter dates so you can see everything owed to a supplier within date range. Much like an Aged Payables report. You can…

Bills - Add multiple payments without leaving the bill
Hi All, I am billed in advance for a storage facility which i break down into 4 payment per invoice. 1. I am not able to allocate these payments to an invoice unless I add them individually 2. I have to navigate each time back thru the whole process of billing, then locating the bill each time amongst the unpaid bills opening this then entering 1 payment and then having to navigate back thru the whole process again. I pay a lot of my bills weekly and broken down into smaller payments so being able to add the payments to…
3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on adding multiple payments to bills. We appreciate you explaining how this could streamline your workflow when managing weekly payments broken into smaller amounts. We understand you're aware of reconciling through bank accounts using the split payments, though this may not fully address your needs.

Bills - Automatically apply organization settings when creating bills from uploaded files
Prevent invoice scanning technology from splitting out the VAT on a bill where the client's financial settings are set to "VAT scheme - None" and all chart of accounts codes are set to "No VAT" (the client is not VAT-registered).
3 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having document extraction follow your organisation settings could help reduce manual adjustments when reviewing bills and receipts.
The suggestion is to have document extraction automatically apply existing organisation defaults, such as tax settings, currency, and tracking categories, when creating transactions.
For now, supplier rules and automation settings can help prefill some details and reduce manual updates. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.

Bills - Quick link to the Draft tab after importing
You have today added a great new feature - the ability to upload Accounts Payable invoices to generate the Draft transaction.
Can I suggest that you have a look at the options available after the invoice has been approved, to then quickly navigate back to the Draft Bills.
This is because it's likely that we upload in batches then approve, however to navigate back to Draft to pick up the next invoice takes quite a few steps!

Contact Credit - Apply credit to Contact
It would be really helpful to be able to allocate a credit note against the supplier account rather than against individual purchase invoices. We receive supplier credit notes for discounts applied for purchases which don't relate to an invoice so the only way we can account it for them is to use any purchase invoice which then reduces the invoice amount. It can be confusing for the supplier when the invoice amounts do not match.
2 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this — we can see why this would be really helpful.
Right now, supplier credit notes in Xero need to be allocated against individual bills, which can be awkward when the credit relates to things like discounts or rebates rather than a specific purchase invoice. We understand how that can create confusion, especially when invoice amounts no longer match what the supplier is expecting to see.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and better understand the impact for customers using this workflow.
If this workflow is causing issues for you, please keep adding examples and details — especially around how often it happens and any workarounds you’re currently using. That context is really valuable.

Bills Draft Tab - Option to pay draft bill after approving
When we have pro forma invoices, it would be helpful to be able to approve a draft bill and have an option to pay it straight away without having to search the awaiting payment.
2 votesThanks so much for raising this and for taking the time to explain the extra friction in your workflow.
We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re working through draft bills and then need to go searching again for the bill once it’s been approved. When you’re processing multiple bills, those extra steps can really add up and make what should feel like a smoother workflow more time-consuming than it needs to be.
We’ve reviewed this idea and we’re moving it to Gaining Support. This means the idea has been reviewed by our Community team and is now open for other community members to vote on and comment.
If others in the community would also benefit from a smoother way to move from approving a draft bill to actioning it for payment, we’d really encourage them to add their vote and share a little about how they work. For…

Batch Payment - Unique payment file name
It would be good if we could have the ability to have unique batch names when exporting payments to the bank. Currently its the same name ie the date. If you create a further batch it has the same name, with only difference being the time stamp on the file when selecting it from 'downloads' - even it was batch 1, batch 2 etc, it at least means you're not accidentally selecting the wrong file. We often make more than one payment in a day, especially if you're making payments from different bank accounts, you need to watch carefully that…
1 voteAppreciate how this could be useful when creating multiple batches in a day, Sue.
We'll start to get a wider understanding of interest through your idea here, and can share if there are any improvements planned to help with what you're asking.

Contacts - Bills | Upload Bills available in contact record
Can you also add "Upload Bills" under the contact? When a bill comes in, I check to see if it's already in entered by looking at the contact. If not, I go to enter in the bill there and it only provides the manual option. Can you add it to the dropdown under the contact too please?

Bills to Pay - filter by attachment
Feature Request - Purchases Overview
It would be great to be able to filter items listed under purchases overview by whether a document is added or not. I have to manually upload documents for certain type of bills as they are created in a third party application that doesn't bring the document forward.

Contact - Add Credit Note as a separate tab in contact activity screen
Add a credit notes section on the Supplier account for ease of searching for the credit notes received.
1 voteHi Rondene, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see how having a dedicated Credit Notes tab within a contact's activity could make it quicker to review credits without searching through invoices, bills, or the full activity history.
At the moment, credit notes are included within the contact's activity and can also be filtered from the main Invoices or Bills lists.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular workflows where a separate Credit Notes tab would be most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

Bills - Navigation | A quicker motion between entering draft bills
When you approve a bill it pops up with a notice saying add another bill, it should say back to (whatever screen you were on) i.e. I tend to upload bulk to the the ai section to which they then enter drafts. I have to manually go back to drafts each time to enter the next bill whereas it could automatically just take me where I need to go or at least offer the function

Remittance - "Send Remittance" button directly from the reconciliation screen
Currently, users must reconcile the payment and then navigate back to the bill or payment record to send a remittance advice. This creates unnecessary extra steps and increases the risk of remittances being missed.
Having this option available during reconciliation would streamline the process, save time, and ensure suppliers receive timely payment notifications.
1 voteHi Anna, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Being able to send a remittance advice directly from the bank reconciliation screen could help streamline payment workflows and save time when processing supplier payments.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, we'd love to hear more about when you'd expect to send the remittance during the reconciliation process.

Reconciliation - Ensure attachments on source transaction flows to reconciled bank statement
As a Xero user, I regularly upload supplier invoices and receipts as attachments to Bills. While the attachment is stored correctly against the Bill, it is not visible when viewing the related bank transaction, account transaction, or reconciled payment.
This creates a challenge when working with accountants and bookkeepers. During month-end reviews, audits, and reconciliations, accountants typically review transactions from the bank account and transaction listings to verify that every payment has supporting documentation.
When they open a reconciled bank transaction and cannot see an attachment, they often assume that the invoice or receipt is missing. I then have to…
1 voteHi Kelly, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how being able to view attachments from reconciled bank statement lines could make it quicker to review transactions during audits and day-to-day bookkeeping.
At the moment, attachments remain linked to the source transaction, such as the bill, spend money transaction, or invoice, and can be accessed by opening that record. While this keeps the supporting documents available, we appreciate it's more convenient to see attachments directly from the bank statement view.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular bank screens or workflows where attachment visibility would be most helpful, let us know as those examples help us better understand the feature.

Bills - Supplier name Lock
Bills:
For Credit notes, when you click the 'Save' drop down, there is an option for 'Save and add another' like there is for regular Bills.
Being able to lock a supplier/ 'From' when adding Bills, so we don't need to search for every bill, for when we have multiple bills under one supplier.
Maybe a lock button next to the contact name which can be clicked to unlock it when no longer needed.

Bills – Ability to Bulk Delete Attachments from Bills
Hello Xero Team,
I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the way attachments are handled when sending bills into Xero. At the moment, when bills are forwarded via email, Xero captures not only the invoice PDF but also every image embedded in the email—such as logos, footers, signatures, and other graphic elements. This results in several unnecessary files being attached to a single bill.
Currently, these attachments have to be deleted one by one, which is time‑consuming and inefficient.
It would be extremely useful to have the option to select multiple attachments and delete them in one action, similar to…3 votesThanks for your feedback, Analise. Perhaps something you've already picked up on in relation to your note about bulk actions elsewhere however you can currently bulk delete files from within the Files library > Archive.
This includes files that have been uploaded directly to a transaction rather than from the files library.
There's an Associated with column so you can click through to check the bill you're deleting a file from
We don't have plans for adding a bulk delete option from within a bill itself atm, but we'll begin to track the interest for this here.

Bill - Direct link to account transactions from Account field
Being able to click on the account code on an invoice and it will take you to the account transaction report so you can see what other invoices are posted there. Even more useful if you could do this from the journal screen too so you can see the balance on the account after posting
3 votesHi Sadie, we don't have any plans for adding a direct link to the Account within a Bill, however one option for quick access right now could be to add the account you want to keep a watch on to the Chart of Accounts watch list on the homepage. You could keep this open in a separate tab and quickly click into this account when you want to view recent transactions.
Right now we'll start to get a sense of the interest for this here.

Bills - Add editing capabilities to bulk edit and approve Draft Bills
Add further Bulk Action options to the Draft Bills screen. See image - so many identical low value bills.
Idealy I would be able to check the bills, and bulk add:
- Supplier Name
- Basic Description
- Default Due Date (revert to supplier default automatically?)
- Account used.
- Approve if eligiible after this.I find the 'approve' options are useless because the incoming bills never have enough info to approve until edited... therefore - edit options would be more useful.
2 votesHi Andrew, thanks for your suggestion. We understand that processing large volumes of draft bills can be time-consuming when updates need to be done one by one.
The suggestion here is to allow bulk editing of draft bills, so users can update fields like account codes, tracking, or tax settings across multiple bills at the same time instead of opening each one individually.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can keep tracking interest and share it with the team.

Import Bills/Credit notes - Provide universal template and click on checkbox to select bills or credits
Instead of uploading bills and credit notes separately, how hard would it be to upload them all the same, then you can choose in a drop down box or similar as you approve them if they are a bill or credit.

Bills - Ability to edit Person of a contact within a Bill
This idea ("Bills - Edit contact details (name, email, BSB, Account no.) when creating a bill") has been accepted by Kelly Munro on January 23rd 2026. HOWEVER it does not fix the issue of the inability to input the "first name" and "last name" in the Quick View. It allows "Name" which I understand could be a business name but it also could be an individual name. Currently I have to go and edit the contact details manually after the bill/invoice is created which is cumbersome and frustrating as almost all the fields are available to input via Quick View.…
3 votesHi there, thanks for sharing this. We can see there’s a gap between what you’re looking for and what was covered in the previous idea.Based off of the feedback here, we’ll use this as a way to gauge how many people need the ability to edit the contact person directly from a bill. While this isn’t something we have immediate plans to work on, we’ll start tracking interest in this request and will share any updates here if that changes.
