It's ridiculous having to make one entry for every single expense. Our staff travel a lot and their expense claims consist of multiple items. To create and expense (and a payment) for every item would be such a waste of time it wouldnt be worth it. When is Xero going to catch up and allow us to make actual expense claims?

Adding support for this too. Multiple line items on an expense allow for many different business accounting scenarios and also reduce overhead for the submitter and approver. Please consider adding this.

I would like to have the option in the App to be able to take multiple pictrues of long receipts or multi paged invoices and combine them into a single file rather than having multiple files attached to bills.

Adding my support for this too!

We're using Zoho Expense, which groups multiple claims into a single report. Our out-of-pocket expenses tend to be multiple small items, and it is much easier for our accounts team to check and manage reimbursements for these when grouped together - either by a specific event ('New York Business Trip') or a period of time ('Bob's expenses for May').

One difficulty to resolve would be the date of the claim. For example, would each item have individual dates, or would there be a single date based on the date submitted?

This is 100% needed in our business, we give people a daily allowance and having multiple smaller receipts is causing more admin for us to check the claims are valid and make sure that they don't go over their limit. Especially is someone submits a whole weeks worth of expenses in one submission

I 100% support this - the issue we are having is when a user posts an expense item say £15 for a taxi but this included a tip. The money coming though in the bank is say £14.50 and £0.50. We are not able to match this in the bank feed - i.e split a payments on expenses. You can do it against supplier bills I know but not an expenses. Also happens with hotels - they take a small charge like a deposit and then the rest on a separate payment and transport companies where they take an initial fee then a second fee when they know how much the user has travelled. Not sure it the same request as the thread but appropriate anyway

100% agree, multiple items and receipts into one claim is absolutely necessary.

It would be ideal if a number of expenses and a mileage claim could be grouped together as one claim, with the ability to upload supporting paperwork (e.g. a number of receipts)

If a person goes into a conference, and has expenses related to that event, it would be helpful if it could be done all at once. Flight, hotel, mileage, food expense, supplies, etc all in one submission.

This could be beneficial to some of our programs when we request payment for travel expenses.

As of now, Xero has a mileage expense, but its ONLY mileage. And it has an “expense” claim, but it doesn’t allow for several documents to be uploaded or select different funds or accounts.

it would be great to do 1 payment for multiple receipt without having to add them separately as a refund on each receipt

Totally agree here, endless individual bills for $3 coffees is just madness - Xero Me for expenses might save the submitter time & admin, but it creates a headache for the accounts team.
Submitters and/or administrators should be able to combine individual lines into one submission, resulting in one, multi-line, bill.

This is total madness. Who on earth wants to see 20 individual lines in their accounts for each trifling line on an expenses claim.
Not going to be using Xero expenses unless they sort out this and the equally bonkers approvals free-for-all.

Plus a reference field for the approver would be helpful
