   Hi team, we appreciate hearing how splitting batch payments could make reconciliation faster and less manual, especially when only one invoice from a batch is paid and the rest remain outstanding.

   We agree there’s a real opportunity here to simplify the process. While this isn’t something we’re building right now, it’s part of a broader set of ideas we’re considering as we look at how to make reconciliation more flexible and efficient.

   For UK and US customers we have online bill payments that make the batch and reconciliation process much simpler - If you’re not too familiar with online bill payments you can get to know more through Xero Central and learn if this solution is right for you;

   • About online bill payment - US
   • About online bill payment - UK

   Similarly, we are working on a solution for our AU customers and will be sure to share more as this progresses.

   We’ve updated the idea status to Not in pipeline to reflect where things stand today. We’ll continue to review it alongside other improvements in this space, and share if there are any active developments that will solve the needs expressed here.

   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.

   Hi community, we understand there are differing needs in this idea for why you’d like a separate posting date alongside the invoice or bill date. Whether it’s for reporting, compliance, or just a more accurate view of when things happened.

   While this has been carefully considered, we want to be transparent with everyone here, that this is not something we have plans for developing in the near term.

   We know given the interest in this that this is not the update you’re hoping for, and please know that we’ll continue to track votes this idea receives for future consideration. We’ll keep you posted if things change down the line.

   I second this.

   I need both the bill/AR invoice date and the posted/transaction date.

   If we received an invoice dated, for example, 1st June 2023 but the invoice is received after 30th June 2023. I have already closed and reported that period, therefore I would like to post the bill into the current period using a posted date, 1 July 2023, but still be able to record and report the correct bill date as shown on the AR invoice/bill.
