   Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of votes and commentary. This has all been feedback and taken seriously by our product teams.

   Currently, there are ways to record a bad debt in Xero, depending on your tax registration status and how you want the transactions to be recorded in your reports - We have help for this on Xero Central you can draw into.

   We don’t have any plans in the near term to expand functionality to develop a button to write off invoices or bills as 'bad debt'. If anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea!

   Hi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.

   As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).

   We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.

   That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.

   In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this today;

   • Include detail of any charges for late payments to your invoice template Payment terms & details, and
   • Edit and add a new line to your invoice to add the late fee - you could make use of Xero's inbuilt calculator for this, or
   • Edit and add a 'mark up' to each line of your invoice - again Xero's inbuilt calculator could help with calculating the amounts
   • Explore Xero's app store to see if you can find an integration that works for your business needs
   • In an effort to prevent late payment of invoices Credit limits may help in being able to prevent customers raising too much debt with your business

   We appreciate the options above don't automate the full process of what you're asking here, and we will share if there's any news. Thanks
