Dashboard - Show Bills and Invoices that are in 'Awaiting Approval'
Ability to show bills and invoices that are in ‘awaiting approval’ status.
Purpose: Saving users’ time from having to click on ‘invoices owed to you’.

A glimmer of hope that UK build has been given this feature. When are we getting it in NZ? Wont hold my breath.

We have only started using the approval feature, think it is important to be shown on the dashboard, otherwise you just simply forget to go and look!!

We'd like to set up e-invoicing, but there's no point if this feature isn't available.

Please add this to the dashboard, it would be really useful for planning upcoming expenses - my studio management software integrates with awaiting approval so this feature would be incredibly useful for me!

We don't use 'awaiting approval' as we can't see them on the dashboard, we have to leave invoices in drafts instead, please add to dashboard.

Can't believe that this isn't there.
Come on XERO

Very surprised that this function is not available. Would expect this to have been resolved by now looking at the previous comments since 2022!

It would be good to show draft and awaiting approval items on the aged reports if selected

Why are we still waiting for this to be avaiable on the dashboard? First mentioned 10 years ago. Come on Xero, listen to your users

Adding my voice to the chorus requesting this - this is an essential functionality for organisations which (as they should) separate the drafting and approving functions among users for fraud prevention purposes.

This would be useful info on the Dashboard so we can see what we are waiting on to be approved without having to go into Business / Bills to pay. Why is this taking so long when issue raised in Sep 2015??

This would be extremely useful

this comment was first added in 2015! nearly 10 years - how has this not been implemented?

I don't understand why 'draft' bills show but 'awaiting approval' bills don't. Surely it can't be that hard to add it in? Knowing the total of bills (approved + waiting approval) that need to be paid would really help with budgeting and planning payments.

Not being able to see bills awaiting approval on the dashboard is causing us to miss paying on time. Please add this feature.

Glen McDonald commented
We have missed payments because we have overlooked the the invoices which are awaiting payment. Having this appear on the dash board will greatly assist us.

It has been 2 years since I requested this feature. it is just another column in the workflow, for developers, it is just a 5 5-minute job, which will not affect any other process.

Missed a bill yesterday that a colleague had entered on the system and submitted for approval hence it didn't show on my dashboard.
