  This would be amazing to have in a busy office where managers dont have time to constantly check. It will keep the business operations flowing.
How do we follow if any action takes place with this suggestion?

  Yes please! This will be very helpful, especially when we are running a 'hybrid' office and are not always available when the purchase processing is done. It helps with communication and ensure prompt payment of bills - less stress!

  A notification function is very important for companies that are not a one-man show. If we are adopting the system, we shall limit the manual transactions required by adding more user-friendly features.

  Our employees use the XeroMe app and it would be great if there could be a notification on the app to let them know they items to approve
Like other apps you get a red dot on the app to let you know there are notifications
with leave approvers who use their personal email for the xeroMe app, unless the open the app or their personal email everyday they dont know if they have anything to approve -

  It’s very strange that this is not a feature in Xero. It is definitely needed especially when you have busy approvers and this way they know there’s something waiting to look at.

  Yep, we really need this. We just upgraded to add xero expenses and I can't believe it doesn't notify me when there is one to be approved!

  This would be really helpful! I'm currently training in Xero and learning how to do all of the invoices / add bills. For now, my boss is getting me to 'Save & Submit for approval' for the invoices and bills I create. I'm doing quite a few but then my boss doesn't know when they are in the queue for him to approve. So, I'm having to manually tell him each time I have an invoice to be approved so I can then get it approved and email it to our client... It would make things easier if he could get a notification pop up saying there is a bill or invoice to check.

  This is very important. Also depending who created the PO, their particular line manager should get the automated email.

  important for bookkeepers and accountants that assist clients with backend. Good for approvers to receive email notification to streamline the process

  it allows users to not have to check the app every day when they don't have an office eg. trades etc.

  Concur with comments. Automatic Notifications sent to those with authority to approve Expenses, Bills, Invoices, Workpapers are essential for faster workflows in Xero.

  We have two different approver in the company. We require an email notification when expenses, bills and invoices are submitted/created for approval and an option to choose approver name.
Would be great to have this in Xero. Thanks

  Just repeating other user’s comments. Automatic email notification of purchase orders requiring approval would be more efficient for our business.

  We are setting up our PO system in Xero and I'm surprised this function isn't available. We have quite a few team leaders and managers who need to approve expenses and this would be a great way to be efficient and help them save time.
