Thanks for all your engagement here, everyone. We get how easy it can be to approve a bill too early, then have to delete and recreate it just to make a correction.
Within the new bills approval workflow we’re developing, an approver will be able to reject a bill with a reason, returning it to Draft for changes and resubmission.
An admin will also have the ability to return a stalled bill to Draft before adjusting the rule or resubmitting it.
We want to acknowledge feedback from users in this idea that are interested in moving an already approved bill back to a draft state, and we have a separate idea that we’d recommend joining for updates.
The bills approval flow work is in flight right now, and I’ll be back with news when this is released.

Hi Roger, thanks for the feedback on this idea. it’s clear that seeing the number of days overdue directly on the Send Statements screen would make it easier to prioritise follow-ups without interrupting your workflow.
At the moment, the Date and Due Date of each outstanding invoice are already displayed on the Send Statement screen, but having the actual days overdue visible would give immediate context and help you act faster when sending statements.
We have now move this idea to Gaining Support, which means it’s open for votes and comments. Hearing from the community will help our product teams understand how much value this visibility would add across different workflows.

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback here. This has been shared back with our product team who are keeping a close eye on feedback surrounding this new experience.
While there was a lot of testing around the placement and font sizing of each element in the new experience we appreciate there are differences in how and what details businesses would like to show on their invoices.
We don't have immediate plans of change however I'll be sure to let you know here if there are any plans made.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback and support this idea. We’ve taken another look here and, while we don’t have plans to develop DOCX further, we have released and are continuing to roll out our invoice editor. It’s replacing the Standard branding theme first, and from there will continue to evolve with more of the invoice customisation we know customers are looking for across things like logos, fonts and colours.
We know this won’t be the update some of you were hoping for, especially for those wanting more flexibility in how invoices look and feel. To help keep updates relevant to the specific changes being asked for, we’d really encourage you to add your vote to the ideas below, as they’re more closely related to those points:

Hi team, you'll have seen that we have introduced a new Invoice template editor that will soon replace the Standard branding in organisations.
While fonts are limited at present, and we don't have intentions of developing the ability to support every font imaginable our product team are very interested to know if there are specific font's your business would typically use and like to see added.
Please do share in this thread and I'll keep you updated if further options are added to the new Invoice template editor.

Appreciate your feedback here, team.
The pop ups are shown as a means to help highlight and confirm the actions that have been made, but we understand for some customers this may seem unnecessary.
We'll continue to get a sense of the wider interest of this idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Hi community, thank you to everyone who's shared and supported the ability to email credit notes to Xero.
We understand why you'd like to be able to automate the flow and entry of Credit Notes in Xero, however this isn't something we have plans of developing within Xero right now.
As mentioned in my last update it's possible to currently automate entry of Credit Notes in Xero, by publishing these through Hubdoc -You can find steps to connecting Hubdoc to your Xero organisation, or detail on publishing Credit notes, on Xero Central.
If there are any changes put in place for this, we'll let you know.

Hi everyone, it's great to have the insights from your support and comments here. We understand how sending overdue statements would help in cashflows and reduce steps in following up on the most important payments from customers.
We appreciate the needs you've shared and want you to know this is high on our teams radar. While it's not on the roadmap just yet, this is something we'd like to address and the team have done some initial discovery of.
We'll be sure to share further updates on this with you all, here.

Thanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.
You can continue to vote on this idea so if our position changes in the future we will update you all, here.

Hi everyone, thanks again for all the feedback we’ve received about this flow here. Our team has taken this on board.
It’s worth highlighting that the pop up window that shows for every payment is part of the payment flow to determine how you’d like to process the payment - You can choose to pay by online bill payments or manual payment. We want to be upfront that we don’t have any plans to permanently remove this flow.
However, based on feedback the team has added a selection to the modal in the screenshot here ”‘Don’t show again” to return to the original experience when it's possible to continue with manual batch domestic payments.
If you check this option you’ll be taken back through the older payments flow the next time you go to make a payment of this kind.
Please note, if you simply click the ‘X’ button in…

I also have raised for this, what a stupid popup, which doesn't allow you to dismiss, I do all my payments manually which is a lot and this popup is a pain having to see it over and over again, If I wanted to do online payments then I am sure I will find the option, rather than have it displayed over and over again, ridiculous feature

Thanks for everyone's support in this idea. We understand the strong feelings expressed in your comments, where an invoice can be accidentally approved when still needing to go through a review or remain in a draft status.
As suggested by some users in this thread, if this has already occurred an option for now would be to add a note to the history of the invoice so other users are aware of the action and what needs to be done, or alternatively Void the invoice and copy to a new Draft invoice (consider if you need to change the invoice # before voiding the approved one, so you can use this on the new draft invoice).
While not a resolution for this idea, to avoid mistakenly approving an invoice an option could be to make use of the keyboard shortcuts that are now available in invoicing such as Save &…

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

We hear you team! Thank you for continuing to share back with us here, and a big thanks to those that registered interest and provided input to the teams earlier research.
Right now, there's still some discovery going on around this functionality, but I want to assure you this is a feature our team are keen to develop.
While the first round of research helped inform our team they want to dive deeper into some of the aspects surrounding this feature that'll help ensure we create a solution that'll best fit majority of businesses.
We'd like to give provide the opportunity to everyone here to participate in this and if you can spare a few minutes, our team have prepared a few questions in this form 📝 that we'd love your feedback on.

Hi team, thanks for staying engaged with us here. From your feedback our product teams clearly understand there are legitimate use cases and scenarios in which you’d like to be able to simply unapprove a bill.
While seemingly simple there is a bit of underlying work that needs to be done within Bills to enable us to build this functionality - As you’ll have experienced within the Bills list view - we’re in the process of uplifting the pages in Bills with updated technology that’ll unlock our ability to develop features like unapprove.
So, while it’s not in our roadmap atm, we’re tuned in here and will continue to assess how we may solve this as we plan our future roadmap. I’ll make sure to share any progress with everyone here.

Thanks everyone, for continuing to share your experiences and examples here. We’ve been following the recent comments and really appreciate the added detail around the challenges this creates in real payment runs, particularly where credits need to be reflected alongside bills so supplier statements and remittances stay aligned.
This March, we released the ability to find and match credit notes when reconciling, which was another highly requested idea on Xero Product Ideas.
We recognise this is an end-of-process solution and doesn’t address the core need raised in this idea. As a quick update from my last post, we’ve done some early exploration into the technical requirements needed to solve the pain points mentioned. This is a complex area to get right, as it touches multiple parts of the bill payments and credit note experience.
At this stage, our focus remains on continuing to develop our bank-agnostic payments solutions across regions,…

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…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bulk allocation of credit notes, everyone. We understand that manually applying credit notes one by one can be time-consuming, and we appreciate wanting a a faster, more streamlined solution.
Currently, while we know it won't be the flow that suits all, it's possible to apply credit notes to multiple invoices for a single contact by opening the credit note and selecting the invoices to apply it to.
Atm, we're in the process of releasing a new experience for Sales Credit Notes. This work will enable us to develop changes like you're asking here longer term. However, the initial release is focused on developing existing features into the new Credit Notes experience. Once this is fully rolled out the team will have more capacity to consider enhancements like bulk allocations, however we want to be upfront that this isn't planned for the short term.
We…

SUCH A PAINFUL & TIME CONSUMING PROCESS ALLOCATING 1 BY 1 CREDIT NOTES - I am jumping on the bandwagon with this request. Hours are spent each month applying multiple single credit notes to multiple single invoices for the same supplier - most of the invoices that relate to the credit notes have already been paid in previous months. This is a huge nightmare and ridiculously time-consuming. There must be a better way without having to pay for an add-on. I have used les sophisticated accounting programs than Xero that can manage this function better. I urge you to prioritise this request.

Colour coding function or and extra check box for autopay/Direct Debit would be an easy fix for this, not sure why its not already a function, as this is a vital part of the payments process, come on XERO do somethiung about this please
