Hi Tina, just thinking in lieu of this feature atm - To help get a view of bills that don't have an assigned planned date you can click the Planned date header to sort all bills by planned date and this will also group all bills with no planned date. 🙂

This would save a huge amount of time when planning payments.
Simply being able to search for Bills WITHOUT a paid date is so simple, and helpful, I'm amazed you can't do it!Please add ASAP

I append the supplier name with “-BACS” or “-DD” so I can manage payment files in Bills to Pay.
It’s frankly ridiculous that Xero still doesn’t provide a proper field to handle this.

I suffix the supplier name with -BACS or -DD to help manage this, but it would be so much better to get this functionality built in.

This would be a HUGE benefit - please add this function ASAP
We collect Sales via Direct Debit, but can pay the same company for Bills using BACS. Ideally there should be a Payment Method for Sales and separate one for Purchase. Could the options be included in the Sales defaults and Purchase defaults section?

Hi everyone, we appreciate how automatically sending statements could improve cash flows, and save the manual efforts involved in this periodic task.
We recognise the importance of this functionality, and with a clear focus on decreasing the time it takes for our customers to receive payments, I’m pleased to share that this idea is now In discovery. 😊
While we can’t give any commitments to development yet, this is a good step in the right direction and we’ll be sure to update you on progress from the exploration here. Thanks!

Hi Marc,
Its amazing how deaf Xero are to this and many other simple, but essential improvements that we are all asking for.
Amazing that you've created this program. I would be interested in trying it out. Can we discuss on email? robert.white@armstrongbell.co.uk
Kind regards,
RobRobert White

I agree too! My mortgage is a Bank Account and is reporting as a Current Asset! Obviously a long term liability.
This means my ODBC link with Odata cannot arrange/sum the information correctly.

Hi community, we understand the appetite surrounding this idea and how automation of customer statements could have a big impact on your efficiency and free up a lot of precious time to do more valuable tasks. As noted in my last update this has been high on our product teams radar and we wanted to let you know that we're now looking into how we might leverage Invoice reminders as a means to solve for needs in this idea.
Very early in the teams discovery at this point, but we'll share further updates with you here.

This would be a HUGE benefit.
Knowing which customer are DD and those which pay via BACS would also make Credit Control a lot more clear.
It would also help tie in to Bills to Pay (and knowing which suppliers collect via DD and when to pay via BACS).

Hi everyone, further to our last post I wanted to provide another update for our US customers as we now have a bill payments solution powered by Melio! Xero has acquired Melio, a leading US bill pay platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, and accountants and bookkeepers in the US. While we value our partnership with BILL, we decided that acquiring Melio was the right strategic move to accelerate our ability to provide a seamless, integrated payments solution within Xero for our US customers. Powered by Melio, you can securely pay bills online, directly from Xero.
As previously shared in the UK customers can now pay overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments, saving the need to use multiple platforms and savings in fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once.
We’re committed to finding new ways to expand our bill payments…

Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of votes and commentary. This has all been feedback and taken seriously by our product teams.
Currently, there are ways to record a bad debt in Xero, depending on your tax registration status and how you want the transactions to be recorded in your reports - We have help for this on Xero Central you can draw into.
We don’t have any plans in the near term to expand functionality to develop a button to write off invoices or bills as 'bad debt'. If anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea!

Hi team, wanting to provide an update to you here, we want you to know we understand the efficiency more users would like to have in being able to automate the creation of the Xero subscription invoice inside their Xero org.
To highlight from my last update for UK users this is possible with eInvoicing through the online invoice (My Bills page).
This is still something we're interested in developing in more regions however isn't planned in our roadmap just yet.
When resource opens up for us to be able to pick this work up we will share an update with you all on this here. Thanks for staying engaged and supporting in this idea.

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…

End of 2025, three New Years later, and this request is still sat here like an unscheduled bill — visible, obvious, and politely ignored.
This feels like a classic New Year’s resolution problem:
“Must add simple filter users keep asking for”
→ rolled forward again to next year.
It’s hard to believe this isn’t a deliberately unchosen fix rather than a difficult one. A single “Unscheduled” filter would save hours across thousands of users… but instead we’re all still sorting columns like it’s 2012.
Here’s hoping 2026 is the year this finally gets scheduled for delivery 🤞
