Xero Expense - Assign Approver for multiple submitters
Would love to see the option to assign an expense approver to multiple expense submitters or even an 'Approvalmax' approver matrix function added to Xero Expenses. Currently using Xero Expenses to administer over 100 employees expenses and need stronger controls than central finance approving all. Happy to help design/ test!

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the number of users that'd like to see more mechanisms to assign and control who approves specific employee's claims.
Our product teams have a close eye on this idea, and while this feature is not in the roadmap atm, they'll keep reviewing this as they continue to plan and prioritise work for Expenses. So, if there us any shift in status we'll share an update to keep you all informed on the idea, here.

 commentedwould like it to be based on budget holder - we have this set up as one of our tracking categories - that expenses are submitted to the relevant budget holder to approve. not just a free for all of any approver seeing all expenses.

 commentedUse Xero Expenses for our Service Company with 100 employees approving expenses centrally in Finance which is becoming harder. Desperately need an 'Approvalmax' workflow feature ASAP- happy to test or be involved in the design!

 commentedI thought the ability to do this would be a key functionality, especially once you get to a certain level. Is there much traction on this happening??

 commentedSAP Concur is an alternative but you do need to pay for a connector to Xero. More expensive so Xero Expenses would be better if the functionality could be tweaked

 commentedDesperately needing this function, otherwise unable to implement the Expenses software into our business' reimbursement process. If anyone has suggestions of other software that includes this function, it would be very welcome.

 commentedWho would even think to create this so that EVERY approver can see EVERYONE's expenses?! Crucial for me to want to proceed with Xero expenses - and, in fact is even more making me question if Xero is capable of offering the essential baseline functionality for a business. I'm sure it's fine for sole-traders, but otherwise frankly it's pretty hopeless.

 commentedHi 
 This is desperately needed.
 Timesheets can be allocated to a specific approver.
 the same rule applies to credit cards and expenses claims would be amazing
