I can't see why this wouldn't be a basic requirement for anything other than a very small business so please get on with developing it! For any business where operational responsibilities lie outside Finance and costs need to be approved it really is needed

I am not sure why this doesn't already exist - currently I have to email every time I create a bill/invoice that needs approving, there should be a way for an automated message/email to the approver when something is waiting for them.

This would be really useful

Would be an ideal function. Some Managers that are required to approve aren't always online. For us this would make a huge difference.

Having recently identified that bills are not shown in the P&L or reports of supplier transactions until they are approved, this is an important feature in those businesses where bills may be approved by departmental heads that do not otherwise access Xero on a regular basis. Sending them a notification of bills awaiting approval would speed up the approval process and make them visible throughout the accounts, sooner.

A very basic function missing.

Yes please. Core business function.

This is critical

It would limit the manual transactions required by adding more user-friendly features.

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.

This would be very useful. Is this build in the pipeline?

Any update if this is something that you are working on?

Sorely missing this feature.

Any workaround in the absence of this feature?

Really needed - hopefully will be implemented soon.

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!
