Once again, Xero fails to have a basic function that most other accounting packages have. It really suggests that Xero is for a small sole trader business and not geared for anything bigger. Batch payments are how any business makes payments and should automatically email a remittance advice to the supplier. How can this not be standard function?

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…

As Xero does not have the standard functionality of a document (invoice) date and document posting date, we have to enter a supplier invoice in the same month as we receive it to capture the cost correctly, even if the is a dispute on the invoice. Having the ability to flag it as "In dispute" eliminates the possibility of it being paid by mistake

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…

Again, this feature should be standard in a modern accounting software package. You should at least be able to do a payment run in Xero and generate an ABA file to upload to your banking platform

Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of interest which has all been shared with and reviewed by the product team.
While this isn't currently being worked on there are other ideas this team are working on right now, including a bulk void feature and highlighting rows when selected. Although these features are still under development process and we don't have confirmed release dates yet.
With regards to having a separate field for the posting date and invoice date, our team is interested in better understanding this idea as it may be something they look to develop down the track. They really appreciate and encourage you to continue to share your experiences, pain points and insights. This will help them understand how this feature can benefit you and other customers, as well as gauge demand for it.
As always, if there's any change we will…

This is a critical standard accounting practice. A document date should never be altered and should be able to be posted to the general ledger, the day it is keyed into Xero, not by the document date. I find it hard to believe that Xero does not accommodate this.

This is an essential accounting function for any system. If a company was to be audited, failure to have this function would be seen as a critical failure of accounting compliance. I cannot understand why this is not already in place
