Description / Problem Statement:
When reviewing bills under Purchases > Bills > Awaiting Payment, there is currently no way to easily see whether the contact (supplier) belongs to a specific Contact Group.
Contact Groups are useful for organising suppliers (e.g. utilities, critical vendors, IT providers), but this information is only visible by opening each contact record individually. This makes it time‑consuming to identify priority suppliers or segment bills during payment reviews.
Proposed Enhancement:
Introduce either:
An optional column that displays the Contact Group(s) a supplier belongs to, and/or
An additional filter allowing users to filter bills by Contact Group directly from the Awaiting Payment screen.
This column/filter would follow the existing pattern used for other contextual information displayed in the Bills grid.
Example Use Cases:
Quickly identify bills from critical or priority suppliers before running payments
Separate utilities or direct debit suppliers from discretionary spend
Speed up internal review and approval processes without opening individual contact records
Improve visibility for finance teams managing a high volume of suppliers
User Benefit:
This would reduce manual effort, improve efficiency, and make Contact Groups more actionable in day‑to‑day workflows — particularly during payment runs and cashflow management.
