   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 will be able to set rules based on factors of bills such as; amount, supplier, account code or who submitted the bill. You’ll then be able to automatically route bills through selected approvers in sequential or parallel steps. While we know this isn’t a direct solution for this idea, this’d provide you with controls to set rules for common flows in which bills need flagging for approval from specific users in your organisation.

   We appreciate the detail and persistence you’ve brought to this conversation. As soon as there's more progress surrounding this I'll make sure to share another update here.

   We also add DO NOT PAY to the invoice reference field, then remove it once resolved.

   Currently we amend the invoice number to DO NOT PAY, although this is not a failsafe method. Before now, we have been sent a duplicate invoice to chase payment which has been put on Xero, but then the duplicate invoice number is not picked up.
   It would be really helpful to have a flag for bills on hold.

   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.

   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.
