Hi everyone, thank you for continuing to share how important it is to clearly identify bills that need attention before they’re paid. We understand the impact this has on teams managing bills and avoiding payments being made before a query is resolved.
While a user control flagging mechanism is not directly in the pipeline yet, we want you to know that your feedback and the volume of support here is getting to the right places.
Our product teams are continuing to consider this wider workflow (not just adding a standalone flag) as they plan and shape our direction for bills.
We’re working towards making it easier to manage payments out of your business, with clearer ways to understand which bills need action as part of a more connected bills and payments experience.
The new bills approval flow which we’re currently developing is an example of this - once available admins…

Thanks for your feedback on Single Sign-On(SSO). We last updated this idea in October 2025, and we’re sorry it’s taken some time for us to provide another. We will do our best to keep you more informed of progress as it continues.
Where SSO is today
We’ve built an SSO capability for accountant and bookkeeper partner practices using OpenID Connect (OIDC). We ran a closed beta with a small group of partners, which is now complete, and those partners are connected. We’re still confirming how and when other accounting and bookkeeping partners can access it. SSO isn’t currently available to businesses or IT providers. We’ll share access details in a future update once they’re confirmed.
What we’re looking at next
We’re exploring what it would take to offer SSO to small businesses. Business needs differ from accountant and bookkeeper partners’, so we’re looking at:
- how a business and its users…

Has this idea really been here for nearly 10years?
It beggars belief that on a system holding the most sensitive information a company has together with the ability to make payments etc this isn't already implemented.
Xero is quickly proving that it's only suitable for very small businesses and as soon as security is a concern you have to shop elsewhere for your accounting software.Joel Mansford

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hi all, appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to recognise revenue of a sale at a date different to that of the invoice or payment date.
While this maybe a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we'll be developing in the near term. In the meantime it may be best to look into connected apps that can solve for revenue recognition. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change around this, here.

Next month this idea I believe will be 10years. This has now become so critical for us we're looking to move off of Xero.
Not even being able to record dates on invoice/transaction lines means we can't even attempt to do this manually outside of Xero.

Coming round to 6months and still no sign of this...
As a software developer I can't understand why this is taking so long?
