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…

Hi everyone, thanks for all the interest here. We understand the pain point of extra work when you need to apply a credit to a bill that's already part of a batch payment.
We are committed to enhancing your ability to manage, pay and track supplier bills from Xero. Through strategic partnerships in the UK and US customers can already pay bills online, delivering a comprehensive, bank-agnostic online bill payments experience.
Our product team's current focus is on delivering solutions like this to more regions, and continuing to develop these flows.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to change the credit application process right now.
We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and are sorry for any disappointment. Please know that we appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and helping us understand how you use Xero. We’ll update this…

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…

Hi everyone, thank you for your continued input and feedback through this idea. Since my last update as some may have seen we have announced a new plan Xero Simple designed to support non VAT registered sole traders and landlords, as they prepare for the next phase of Making Tax Digital. And, that MTD IT will be available for all Xero business plans - see more on my update here.
While we understand the desire from small businesses in Xero Tax for the UK, our intention is for this to remain a Partner only feature. We'd highly recommend connecting with a Xero adviser if this is a tool you'd like to make use of.

Definitely needed. It is confusing to send a remittance advice to a supplier with the credit note already allocated against one of the invoices.

We have an employee in the business who chases debts. But she cannot run a debtors list so I have to print one out every time she wants an update. It would be great if there was a tick box like in Dear inventory to add many different levels of access

I agree I am a qualified chartered accountant who works for a small company but we have to pay a large fee to an accountant to take our figures and put them into a statutory format
