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…

I'd like to provide feedback on the recent update and the proposed solutions regarding disputed bills, specifically in response to Kelly's suggestions. I believe the current options provided by Kelly act more as workarounds rather than providing a true fix for this issue.
From my perspective, a more effective solution would be to introduce a new section in the bills screen, perhaps named "Disputes." This section could function similarly to how drafts currently work, but with clear distinctions. In my previous company, we utilised a "hold file" where we could raise the invoice and add purchase orders at a later date when the dispute was resolved by searching, which is already a function within Xero.
If Xero were to implement a "Disputed Items" header in this section, it would not impact the accounts, as we would still be accruing the purchase order value, especially since it hasn't been billed yet. While this might not be a direct requirement for everyone, it would provide a dedicated place to store PDF invoices and any related emails.
Please feel free to correct my ideas above.

Currently, when we run the reconciliation report for this year, it displays an opening balance for both sales and purchases but not for the VAT account transactions. This means the report doesn't reflect the real-time status of the VAT account.
For instance, previously filed VAT returns are incorrectly showing as unfiled, and any payments or collections from prior periods are not included. Consequently, we see a significant outstanding balance that doesn't accurately represent our current position, as these transactions were processed in the previous accounting period.
Ideally, the reconciliation report should display the actual unfiled VAT on both sales and purchases, alongside the current balance of the nominal ledger, rather than just postings from the current period.

To have the ability to Archive currencies, we deal with many customers all varying in currencies. We no longer deal with some of the currencies due to project activity which means when we enter the currency value for month end according to our group financial rules it means we have to enter the rates for all just in case there are some entries associated with them.
This would be useful to be able to toggle the currencies on/off so that we don't need to keep updating them at the month end.

Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.
However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.
As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

Hey everyone, thank you for all your feedback. We’re on a long journey to provide more granular access and controls within Xero features that our customers need.
As you may have seen in some of our recent updates across other user roles ideas we’re currently in the process of adding more permissions within Reporting and Inventory. Further to this our research has highlighted Payroll and Banking as areas that more controls are most needed, and are on our agenda as we continue to develop permissions and access to features.
Your feedback here and through direct engagements with our teams have been extremely insightful, and we appreciate all your inputs.
I'll continue to provide updates on the development of roles for features as we progress.

Hey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and we want to acknowledge how important this is for many of you.
Atm, we’re on a long journey to provide more controls within Xero features that our customers need. Being such a broad idea that touches many areas of our platform, we’d like to encourage adding your votes to specific user permissions that matter most to you, such as:
- Bank Accounts: For more control over who can see bank account balances and access specific accounts, please see the idea here: User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
- Sales and Invoicing: If you’d like to see changes to permissions around sales reporting and editing invoice templates, you can follow that conversation here: User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
- Reports: To have your say on restricting access to specific reports, the relevant idea is here: User permissions - Assign user…

HI team, we appreciate the feedback you’ve shared on project reporting and understand how including account names and codes could help with visibility and reconciliation of project expenses and incomes.
This isn’t something we have roadmapped atm, but our product team appreciate the pain points shared and this may be something we dive into deeper in the long term.
We will let you know if there are any changes planned for this report, here.

Hi community - There are a few shortcuts that can help you get around and create transactions from many screens in Xero.
The '+' icon next to Search in the blue banner enables you to create a range of different document types, similarly there are shortcuts that can be entered in Search from the blue navigation bar that will take you to different features for example entering 'r' you can quickly select and be taken to 'All reports'
Are there other specific shortcuts you'd want to see here?

Hi team, we appreciate the on-going support and feedback we're receiving on this idea and pleased to be able to share this update. Our product team are actively exploring how we can best solve for the needs raised here, although at this time are unable to provide any set timeframes.
They are very much aware of the appetite from our community on this, and as part of their exploration have reached out some users here as they gather insights.
For the time being we'll shift to In discovery and I'll return as soon as there is more on this to share.

Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

Hi everyone, I'm pleased to share that we're moving forward with the ability to schedule the send of an invoice from Xero.
We're in the early phase of releasing our new invoicing scheduler to customers, and appreciating the direct interest you've all shown here we've included everyone that's voted on this idea in our initial rollout!
You'll see a tool tip on the invoice page for email scheduling, and be able to choose the right date/time when you go to email an invoice (from the send email dropdown). 😊
We're really keen to hear your feedback.
We appreciate there are asks within this idea for being able to schedule the send of other document type such as payslips and want to be upfront that this isn't in the roadmap at present. However, once our invoice scheduler is out to all, we'll be monitoring it's use closely and consider how this…

I have a suggestion to enhance the P&L reporting functionality that I believe could significantly improve our efficiency and data accuracy.
Currently, when we generate P&L reports, we manually export and cross-reference P&L items with project allocations. This is a time-consuming workaround, particularly since project allocation data is already available in sales invoices and bills. This manual process is also necessary for our month-end close to reconcile values and projects.
I've also observed a related issue: discrepancies in foreign currency transactions, where there are sometimes differences in GBP figures between the P&L and project files.
I propose adding an option to our P&L reporting to include "Project" directly in the column header. This would allow us to view, line by line, which items are allocated to each project, streamlining our process and enhancing data accuracy.
