Here’s how to do it: 

1. Go to the Bills to Pay Section: 

  • Log in to Xero and navigate to the “Business” tab. 
  • Select “Bills to Pay” to view all outstanding supplier bills. 

 

2. Track Supplier Bills: 

  • In the Bills to Pay section, you can view a list of all unpaid bills. 
  • You can filter by due date, supplier, or status (e.g., awaiting approval, awaiting payment). 

 

3. Mark Bills as Paid: 

  • Once you’ve settled a bill, click on the bill you wish to mark as paid. 
  • You can either enter the payment manually by selecting “Add Payment” and entering the payment details or use bank reconciliation to match the payment. 

 

4. Bank Reconciliation: 

  • If your bank account is connected to Xero, Xero will automatically suggest matches for payments when you reconcile transactions. 
  • Go to the “Reconcile” tab and match your bill payments with bank transactions to mark them as paid. 

 

5. Monitor and Manage Payment Status: 

  • Keep track of your payment history and ensure no outstanding bills are missed. 
  • Xero also allows you to set reminders for upcoming due bills to avoid late payments. 

 

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage accounts payable and supplier payments in Xero.
