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…

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…

Hi everyone, appreciate this idea has been in a state of Under review fro some time. While it was something our teams we're looking into, this work has had to be put down with other priorities that have transcended.
For now, we'll shift back to 'submitted' where we can continue to track appetite. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change in this space. Thanks

I find it absolutely crazy that the BACS file export options are so limited in Xero!!
We have recently moved our small subsidiary business onto Xero, and had no idea of this issue until we went to make our first supplier payment run. I know you should never assume anything with new software, but this one seemed a given?!
Our VERY old accounts system allowed you to select the relevant relevant file format for a long list of banks, so that it could be exported and uploaded without any need to amend anything manually. And if your bank wasn't listed you could format your own bespoke template.
Fortunately our subsidiary only ever pays 4-5 suppliers once a month, so not a huge issue - although it is clearly annoying, a waste of time and a step backwards versus something that was automated on a system over 20 years old!!!
I do hope that Xero take a look at this soon, as we are now in the process of migrating our larger parent business onto Xero and the idea of manually amending details payment file which can have up to 40-50 lines each week is a worry.......
