When a bill is marked as rebillable the attachment with the original bill does not automatically attach to the sales invoice when raised so each rebilled expense has to be downloaded and re-uploaded manually, if this could be automatic or an option then that would be good as many clients require evidence of the rebilled expense.

This would be a no-brainer. Am a bit disappointed it isnt already a toggle.

Dear Xero Team, It is widely acknowledged that many businesses often require the ability to on-charge either a portion of or the entirety of a bill to an existing client or project with the ability to attach the original bill.

Given this common necessity, it seems somewhat overlooked that this functionality is not currently available in your system. Implementing such a feature would be invaluable, particularly for businesses that handle numerous bills needing to be allocated to various projects or clients on a weekly basis. Moreover, considering the competitiveness of accounting technologies in the market, would it not be in your best interest to enhance your platform in this manner with an immediate fix?

Please please please add this feature.. re-billing expenses is a nightmare now.. as we can't attach the orginal uploaded expense attachments

If we are billing expenses, we should be able to attach the expense copy added when we create the expense to the invoice.. just like we can add attachments to regular invoices.
Very inconvenient that this isn't possible.

All my expenses need to be transparent ( we are responsible for public money). Under the new version of Invoicing I cant event figure out how to do it. The process is overly cumbersome - see attached) and adds hours to something that should be simple as the data is already in the system.

It would make a huge difference and be much easier to manage. YES PLEASE !

This would be a HUGE improvement and save me HOURS AND HOURS of time each month

As a charity we are using project for funders and some funders want to see all the receipts for the items we have bought. Some of those are through expenses and scanned receipts, some are invoices. We need to be able to send the overview and the receipts to a funder

Would be fantastic to have this feature.

This would be so useful! We have a number of clients that would use this functionality!

This is an absolute no-brainer.

It is so time consuming to have to go back and look up every single expense that is being billed to the intended client so that we can. download and then upload those receipts to the billed client. Why on earth would those receipts not carry through for us to decide if we want to have them "viewable" to the billed client or not? If you are going to provide us the means to bill items to clients, we should also have the files transfer over and THEN have the option to include or not include them as visible to the client. Its just good, simple paper trail. Lets get this done please!

Yes. very much yes. +1

As a Small business user I want to see Expense receipts that are already captured in Expense process included as attachments when those expenses are added to an Invoice

Why:
When invoicing customers and claiming expense costs we need to show them receipts for these expenses
But when creating an invoice using expenses the receipts are not carried across.
(This is the case whether expenses have been assigned to Project or Customer and creating an invoice through the Project module or Invoicing Page)
This results in having to find and reattach all these same files again.
Very time consuming & frustrating

A number of people have raised this issue in support requests in the past going back years:

https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00004FplurSAB/attaching-billable-expenses-receipts-to-invoices

So it has backing

Surely to do this isn't rocket science. Xero please do it

Strongly agree with comments below - the inability to do this is incredibly time consuming (our client sometimes need to add 40-50 expenses to an invoice)

Xero development team, you can do this!

NB this feature is standard in Zoho's basic subscription - which is half the price of Xero. I'm very surprised this isn't possible in Xero.

This is hopefully fairly straightforward, but it would save a huge amount of time. Many of my clients require me to upload PDFs of our invoices to their systems, rather than send over email – so I need the images of expenses receipts to attach to invoices and be exported as part of the PDF.
