Hi everyone, thank you for continuing to share how important it is to clearly identify bills that need attention before they’re paid. We understand the impact this has on teams managing bills and avoiding payments being made before a query is resolved.
While a user control flagging mechanism is not directly in the pipeline yet, we want you to know that your feedback and the volume of support here is getting to the right places.
Our product teams are continuing to consider this wider workflow (not just adding a standalone flag) as they plan and shape our direction for bills.
We’re working towards making it easier to manage payments out of your business, with clearer ways to understand which bills need action as part of a more connected bills and payments experience.
The new bills approval flow which we’re currently developing is an example of this - once available admins…

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.

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,…

@ Zlat, I agree. I have suggested this in the past for other posts, too.
The important thing is to keep your post to facts and not sound like you are just 'having a winge'.
This is such an important function that has been available in other programs for many years.
