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.

Fully agree with the comment below! Please Xero, add a feature to pull attachments through to sales invoice along with the recharged expense details.
Thank you!

Ability to attach the expenses receipt (pictures) to an invoice for reimbursement.
Today you can add a line item for each expenses to be invoiced to a client but you can't attach a pdf with all the pictures of the receipts which are left into the Expense app.
Most likely the leftover of an incomplete integration of a new software acquisition but critical to save us time!

Very frustrating that I need to download the expense copy again and attach it to an invoice each time... I've already added the attachment in Xero when creating the expense, why I need to add again when I rebill this to a client? Not efficient at all.

also, please add the option of using the receipt photo more than once rather than it deleteing out of the Files folder once use in an expense, invoice etc.

get this implemented please, it's ridiculous that it's not possible and utterly frustrating uploading and downloading to attach a copy. it should go on automatically and have the option to delete if not rquired rather than not at all

This is ASTONISHINGLY frustrating.

I take a photo of the invoice for expenses - Xero scans it and analyses it. bBut I cannot actually *use* the photo I have taken.

Instead I take another photo avd then send hours reconciling the image with the invoice line item.

This is just ridiculous

Purchases bought with a credit card and the receipt photo loaded into Xero is put to a project/customer should have the option to bring that receipt over to the invoice to show proof of purchase when invoicing customer. Does that make sense?

My clients would like a summary of the billable expenses they have been charged when they are invoiced, is there a way to do this?

I can't believe this has been raised in 2015 and 8 years on it is still not a feature.
