   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 we’re going to separate the idea for each feature. I’ve created one for managing bad debts in bills across here and highly encourage anyone from this thread to vote for if you’d like to see this developed to handle supplier engagements.

   We will gladly share if there is any development for bad debts in either of these features.

   I agree that the way Xero deals with bad debt is quite frankly embarrassing ! I know of no other accounting system that is so ham-fisted, even the most basic accounting systems (such as Starling's inbuilt system) deals with it better than Xero. Needing to raise a credit note is just wrong - I do not want a credit note showing on the customer account as this appears to any user of the system as if we, the business, have authorised this reduction their account. Also, there is a risk that the "credit note" might get sent to the client, another big no-no. Please Xero, you need to do better!
