Ability to notify an approver within the Xero org when items are in the Awaiting Approval status.
Purpose: Approver can approve or decline the transactions faster.

This would make the approval process much simpler. We are in the early stages of moving over to xero after looking at Sage intaact and Xledger and compared to those Xero approvals seems very basic.

Can you please add this feature to Xero? This would be very beneficial for us and it would make the whole AP process less admin based.

Melissa Gladman commented
this is a critical feature for our business to have an approval process/notification for when purchase orders are awaiting approval.

Nicky McGregor commented
I would like this feature across Xero and Xero Payroll, including when Timesheets are submitted for approval by an employee.

This would be such a great tool to improve efficiency in the invoice approval process! Please include this in Xero's future product updates.

Please add, can't believe it's not a default setting

Michael Nicholls commented
This is a compulsory, every day item for small-medium businesses

Sam Donaldson commented
This would be such an important feature for us. We are looking to go paperless but finding it difficult to without this kind of authorisation feature.

This should have been standard

what a no brainer and a simple workflow.
Why is this taking so so long. You are charging a lot of fees now so there cannot be any excuse about not having enough funding for back end improvements.The market has caught up and will soon overtake Xero due to speed of improvement. This is such a simple workflow we are having to resort to trying to API it ourselves from Xero into Zoho books (which does do this)

You need to be alerted otherwise you are relying on humans to check and that doesnt always happen

Susan Dean commented
My team agree; we need an option to recieve an alert message each time a sales invoice has been submitted for approval by a staff member

Lorna Wyllie commented
We have several clients asking for this feature.

This is a good idea and really helpful.

Scott Reid commented
This would be extremely helpful, along with an email to the submitter advising whether approved or declined. This most definitely would help with streamlining the process and eliminating delays and wasted time.

Extremely efficient

Teresa Mack commented
This would be extremely helpful to make the process more efficient. A lot of time is wasted having to submit invoices to approvers for approval through email or other sources. Would have thought this was a given with the approval function in Xero.
