   Hi everyone, thank you for sharing how the current tracking limits impact your reporting and tracking of different aspects of your business and processes. We know this is an important capability.

   We’re exploring how we might tackle the needs in this idea and enhance Tracking Categories for the future.

   While we can't commit to developments at this stage, we want you to know we hear the support and feedback from our community on this.

   We’ll provide another update as the direction for this feature becomes clearer.

   Having 3 levels will certainly assist

   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 being resolved.
   • Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - Do not pay
   • Adjust the planned date to be very far out in the future

   We know these options won't fit all needs here, and we are invested in continuing to develop Purchase and more specifically bills in Xero to suit your needs.

   We'll continue to provide updates with any progress that steps closer to enabling you to flag bills that are in dispute in Xero. Thank you for continuing to engage and share insights through this idea.

   Thanks everyone, for continuing to share your experiences and examples here. We’ve been following the recent comments and really appreciate the added detail around the challenges this creates in real payment runs, particularly where credits need to be reflected alongside bills so supplier statements and remittances stay aligned.

   This March, we released the ability to find and match credit notes when reconciling, which was another highly requested idea on Xero Product Ideas.

   We recognise this is an end-of-process solution and doesn’t address the core need raised in this idea. As a quick update from my last post, we’ve done some early exploration into the technical requirements needed to solve the pain points mentioned. This is a complex area to get right, as it touches multiple parts of the bill payments and credit note experience.

   At this stage, our focus remains on continuing to develop our bank-agnostic payments solutions across regions, and work specifically on credit note application within batch payments hasn’t been roadmapped.

   We’ll keep reviewing this opportunity through our regular product planning process, and we’ll share any updates here as soon as there’s more to report.

   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 we’re going to separate the idea for each feature. I’ve created one for managing bad debts in bills across here and highly encourage anyone from this thread to vote for if you’d like to see this developed to handle supplier engagements.

   We will gladly share if there is any development for bad debts in either of these features.

   Adding the 'cash coding' function for reconciled transactions can be a huge time-saver. Can Xero development please consider developing this function, maybe have a tab called 'cash recoding'
