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 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 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…

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 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 🤞
