Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest this idea has built and understand how filtering for Bills that have no planned date would help in being able to assign planned dates more efficiently and help you manage your bills.
We're in the process of making a lot of valuable updates to Bills with a focus on releasing our new Bills edit and View pages right now, along with this there are updates that we are making to Bills infrastructure that will make adding features like this simpler in the future.
While we can't commit to this idea right now, I'll make sure to share an update with you here if this gets picked up.
For now, as noted in my last update you can currently re-order bills by the Planned date column header which will help group all Bills that don't have a planned date together.

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

Hi everyone, thanks for keeping this conversation going and sharing your workflows. It has been awhile since this was raised, so we just wanted to refresh the status.
We understand you’re looking for payments in bank reconciliation to automatically match against the oldest outstanding invoices first, given that other details are relevant.
Having more control over the matching order could make payment allocation easier for businesses managing a high volume of invoices.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, so please share your suggestion and use case for this feature.

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?

Heya team, thanks to everyone who shared feedback through the form in our last update. Your contributions have helped us make great headway, and this idea is now moving into development.
We're inviting a limited group of users to test our new Statement list and PDF views. These are important stepping stones towards scheduled statements, and testers will automatically receive early access to scheduling when it becomes available. Register your interest through this form as soon as possible.
If you don't make it into this testing group, don't worry. We'll continue sharing updates here as the work progresses.
This early release gives you greater control over your statements, from customising which columns you see to editing contacts inline and previewing exactly what each customer will receive before you send. Your statements will also now match your invoice branding for a more consistent experience.
Please note: When you join, your entire…

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.

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 team, thank you for sticking with us on this one. Online bill payments are now live in Australia through Airwallex, so you can pay supplier bills directly from Xero without logging into online banking.
As mentioned in my last update;
- In the US we have bill pay powered by Melio, with quick payments and contact syncing.
- We offer bill pay with Crezco for our UK customers, including international payments with 32+ currencies supported.
We’re reviewing the experience across additional regions and will continue to share updates as we learn more and make further progress.

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…

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 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…

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 🤞
