Hi team, we totally get how bulk updating amounts on repeating invoices would help speed up the process and accuracy in amounts going out for regular customer sales.
Our product team is beginning to explore repeating invoices and the future of how we support these type of regular transactions. As part of this they're carefully considering popular ideas that have been raised by our community. We’ll come back to share further updates, once they’ve got a good handle on where this works stems.

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

Appreciate all the feedback and ongoing support here. We recognise the main areas this has been asked across are invoices, bills, contacts, bank statements, and reports. Also it appears there are some users here that’d like to navigate between pages of a list while others that’d like to open transactions and navigate back to their placing on a list.
For moving between pages of a list, there are a couple of other features that may be useful, such as;
- Increasing the # of items that are shown per page (available from the bottom of the page)
- On many devices you’ll find ‘End’ and ‘Home’ keys that allow you to quickly navigate to the bottom and top of a page which could also save effort in scrolling the page
- Within reports you’ll find the bottom navigation is now frozen so regardless where you are on the page of a report you’ll…

Thank you for your engagement and feedback on this idea. We’ve seen some great suggestions in this thread on how a password-protected lock date could work. The current lock date feature prevents new transactions from being entered and can only be removed by Advisor level users, but we recognise that some users would benefit from introducing password protection.
As part of our new Xero Product Idea process, we have recently reviewed the idea and shifted this to “Accepted”. This reflects that this is an idea we’d like to develop, but that this isn’t currently on the roadmap. We'll be back with another update as soon as we have more to share.

Hi community, your ongoing interest in giving users the ability to reconcile without viewing account balances is welcomed.
We understand why this level of bank permission control matters. As recently mentioned in my updates on this idea, while we do have current work for user roles underway there is more complexities to developing permissions within the banking space and this isn't on the immediate roadmap.
As we continue our journey to evolving roles within Xero we'll be sure to share any progress for permissions in bank accounts with you all, here.

Hi everybody, coming across from the previous forums we know this idea has a lot of interest.
There is a way of using Xero's reports to accomplish what you're asking here and save the format so you can easily access and send this report to your customers outside of Xero.
Running the Aged Receivables detail report you can choose how many ageing periods you'd like to show and set the period to '30 days'. Simply Filter the report by Contact and Update to run.
- Once you've got it set up, save as Custom so you can easily access this format anytime
- If you deal with groups of contacts this also means you could Filter for multiple contacts to combine the view into one report rather than multiple customer statements 🙂
- Export the report to PDF, where you can send to customers from your email system outside of Xero
We appreciate…

OMG Xero, why isn't this a thing? I've never needed it until now as started with a new company. My customer needs this info.

Hi everyone, we understand why people would want to be able to apply a credit note within a locked period however we wanted to provide more context on the purpose of lock dates and reasons for the way they work at present.
Basically put lock dates prevent users making changes to the accounting records prior to the lock date. Their role is to prevent unintended changes which would alter reporting outcomes be they financial reports, VAT/GST/Sales Tax reports etc. Lock dates ensure financial data is accurate and trustworthy.
When a credit note is allocated to an invoice the allocation date is dated the later of the two documents, the first day where both exist. Credit note allocations require creating journals on both a cash and accrual basis, which is why if both the invoice and the credit note are in a locked period, the allocation can’t be done. Those journals…

Isn't the point of a lock period to prevent change from happening? Not sure my accountant would be impressed if I changed the numbers in a prior year.

Thanks to everyone that’s shared interest in being able to write-off invoices or bills as a bad debt. We understand how a direct feature would enhance your use of Xero and flows when trading.
As shared in our last update, while not a one-click solution we appreciate the needs expressed for being able to record bad debts right now, and have a Xero Central article that provides a way of currently accommodating this in Xero today.
There are also other options that have been shared by members in this conversation that some may want to explore.
We want to be open that specific bad debts functionality isn’t planned for invoices or bills at this time, but we understand the needs here and it’ll continue to remain high on our team’s radar when reviewing and prioritising their roadmap.
With differing product teams and needs for this functionality within invoices and bills…

Hi community, thanks again for all the support and very honest feedback you’ve shared on this idea over the years.
We appreciate the manual steps to apply credits are time consuming, especially if you’re managing large volumes of these on a regular basis.
We'd like to share that we've now developed functionality that allows Xero to suggest relevant unpaid credit notes as matches when you’re reconciling. We’ll be releasing this feature slowly to all users over the coming weeks.
You’ll also be able to find and select Credit notes using Find & Match - Just make sure you tick "Show Received Items" (for spent statement lines) or "Show Spent Items" (for received statement lines) so the credit note appears in the list.
When you select a Credit note to Reconcile, Xero will create a cash refund against the credit note (rather than allocating the credit to a specific invoice automatically),…

Thanks for everyone’s feedback and detail on how important this feature is for your businesses.
To provide a little more clarity here, it’s currently possible to create a Credit note within an individual awaiting payment invoice or bill. This’ll copy the contents of the invoice/bill into a Draft Credit note where you can edit if needed. To save many users time, once approved the credit is auto applied to the related invoice or bill, but you can remove this if not applicable.
We appreciate this feature is not available for a Paid Invoice or Bill and we understand the importance of this for some organisations.
To help our product teams get a better view of the interest for the feature in Bills and Invoices it would help to track these through separate ideas - I’ll change the title of this idea to reflect Bills and we have an existing idea…

Thanks for raising the idea, team.
Right now, we don't have plans for developing the ability to edit Credit Notes within the mobile Accounting app which is where functions like adding files would come in, too.
It's good to begin tracking the interest of this here, but want to be upfront with this atm.

Thanks for the support and voting on this idea, team.
We're in the midst of developing a refreshed purchase orders experience, that gives us the basis for new features.
As you may have seen in other recent updates, we have a keen eye on developing backorders, recording part amounts billed and allowing negative stock on hand in Xero.
We'll be back to share another update as work progresses.

The current setup isn't fit for purpose. Some of our customers and suppliers cannot get the link to work. How about the ability to attached a pdf of the receipt/remittance the same as invoices.

Thanks for the response and continued support in this idea, everyone.
Work for partial billing of a purchase orders is taking shape. ✨
To give a taster of what this'll look like - when you create a bill from a purchase order you'll be able to enter the amounts of each item you'd like to bill, and your Approved purchase order will show the amount of each item Billed.
I'll come back to share as soon as the feature begins roll out!

The ability to allocate all lines on the invoice to a project rather than have to select each individual line.

Don't know why you wouldn't want to do this. We have so many invoices that we dispute with suppliers its sometimes hard to keep a track of what not to pay. Currently we are physically writing HOLD against the invoice number, but this doesn't help with duplicating invoice entry as no error is flagged because the invoice references are different.
