   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 will be able to set rules based on factors of bills such as; amount, supplier, account code or who submitted the bill. You’ll then be able to automatically route bills through selected approvers in sequential or parallel steps. While we know this isn’t a direct solution for this idea, this’d provide you with controls to set rules for common flows in which bills need flagging for approval from specific users in your organisation.

   We appreciate the detail and persistence you’ve brought to this conversation. As soon as there's more progress surrounding this I'll make sure to share another update here.

   THANK YOU PAULA, someone else who actually gets it. We need the cost on our P&L for mulitple reasons but we don't want to pay the bill. Surely a simple Flag or TICK HOLD button is easy enough for these amazing developers to produce.

   a HOLD Button to stop paying a supplier due to dispute. Most accounting software programs these days have the ability to enter in an invoice, so the accounts from an P&L view are accruate, however the HOLD button would be to stop paying the supplier in case of a dispute.
