To be specific, when choosing billable expenses to add to an invoice, in the same way that we are given a "check box" to select which billables to include, we should be given a second column and "check box" to "include billable expense attachments", whether the attachment is pdf or image isn't important.

If I was to select say 10 billables to include on the invoice, I would also then be able to select the attachments that go with those 10 billables. I would expect these attachments to be grouped together either into a single zip file which can be email with the invoice, or perhaps they are all compiled into one pdf attachment.

I agree. Also have a client oncharging expenses to their customer and want to attach the supporting bills as evidence. Would be great to have this as an optioin

When creating a billable expense invoice from a Bill, often the source document needs to be attached and sent to customer. Would be efficient to have option to transfer the attached source document from the Bill to the Billable expense invoice

This is a basic requirement of book-keeping and accounting and you are ripping us off by claiming you provide a proper accounting system when it does not include this feature. It's clear to me that there has been demand for this from your customers for many years, but Xero continues to do nothing. As a businessman who was advised by my accountant to bring my three businesses to Xero I feel particularly let down. I'd like to raise a formal complaint and receive a deduction from the subscriptions my companies pay to Xero until you have implemented this essential feature.

This seems like a flaw rather than a missing function.

Current workflow:

Picture > Email > Hubdoc > Xero. Then the convenience breaks down as I have to download the receipt from Hubdoc and reattach in Xero invoice to the client.

Please update this as an anyone sending an invoice to claim expenses incurred usually has to provide the underlying invoice/receipt to their client/customer.
When assigning an expense, there should be an option to assign attached file with the billable expense.

This is a feature that should be a standard approach to expense claiming. The double handling of receipt images is maddening. (Which is what I tell people when they ask what it's like to use Xero!)

Expand the function of assign to client.can it be possible when you assign to client in purchases that a option to choose to also include a copy of the receipt?
Currently i find i have to create 2 copies of a receipt one for the inputting the receipt into purchases and one for the sales invoice.
Why can it not be streamlined?
I only do accounting on IoS
Thank. You

It is obtuse that expenses that need to be charged to clients can automatically generate a line, but the supporting expense document is not included.

Surely the people designing this are not regular users and I sufficient effort is being allocated to enhancements.

Absolutly ridiculous to have to reupload a file that is already attached in the bills function.....

I need this as for all invoices they need a copy of expenses to pay them.

Would be very very helpful and a real time saver. Currently very time consuming to have to go back to the original payment and download the receipt.

I’ve just sent my first invoice to a customer explaining that the 67 referenced receipts are not attached but I have them on file if he would like to see… Lo and behold he has asked to see them so I now need to collate all receipts and send them over to him. Times this by multiple projects occurring at once and it’s a complete waste of time and is actually impacting on customer satisfaction on our end.

This is the only reason we did not switch to Xero after the free trail.

I support this feature wholeheartedly. We pass on the evidence to our customers for reimbursable expenses. ATM this porcess is super laborious. Consequently, we have been using Smart Receipts - fantastic app! If you can incorporate the features from that app into Xero you would be on to a massive win!

I agree this is my no1 needed feature

Fully agree - double upload of receipts is so unnecessary

This is an absolutely fundamental requirement for claiming billable expenses, and working around it is time-consuming (and therefore costly!) and delays invoicing (which for a one-person business doesn't help cashflow).

Please guys.. really no point in having the ability to assign billable expenses to a customer if you can't send the supporting documents you uploaded to each transaction. Used to use Receipt bank solely for this function but having to subscribe to another service is a mission.

Any response from the Xero team on whether this is something that will be addressed or not?
