   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.

   This is such a basic request to be able to add a 'flag' against a bill - lots of apps/software provide flags why can't Xero? I upload ALL supplier bills into Xero, code them and send for approval. However, as bills sat in draft and awaiting approval DO NOT show in the ledger for accounting purposes I often have to submit for awaiting payment to have them added to the ledger - this is where I have an issue as I dont want them paid if they are in query. Another scenario is, they are in awaiting approval and some may have a query and if the latter are flagged I wont have to keep opening them to find out "Oh that's in query" and move on - the same goes for INVOICES as well - FLAGS FLAGS FLAGS please!

   The same also applies to BILLS - the ability to flag as in dispute - the suggestion to leave in draft/awaiting approval does not work as the monies do not show in the ledger. Just need to FLAG BILLS and INVOICES as in dispute.
