   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 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 being resolved.
   • Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - Do not pay
   • Adjust the planned date to be very far out in the future

   We know these options won't fit all needs here, and we are invested in continuing to develop Purchase and more specifically bills in Xero to suit your needs.

   We'll continue to provide updates with any progress that steps closer to enabling you to flag bills that are in dispute in Xero. Thank you for continuing to engage and share insights through this idea.
