Expenses: Set default due date
Can we please have the ability to set a due date for an expense? Currently it is set as the day it is approved, but we pay all our expenses for the whole month, on the 15th of the following month. It would be good to be able to set this as default for any expenses raised.
Thanks,
Sarah

This is an inconvenience and causes unnecessary confusion over what is actually due. I would expect this is a fairly simple fix. Could you please prioritise? Thanks

Definitely need a way to get rid of the sea of red (overdue) expenses!In addition, I think there should be the option to let employees know when it will be paid.
I appreciate that it can be done by creating a payment for the expenses, which will in turn notify the employee that the payment is planned. But there needs to be a bit more detail and feedback for the employee.If you opt to not create a payment for the expenses (which we don't as more expenses might crop up), the employee gets a notification stating that their expenses are on their way ONLY once the expense is reconciled. By that point, the money is already in the employees bank account.
If you were to set a due date (or planned date) for the expense(s), it should tell the employee the date it is planned to be paid. It should also update the due date.

Agree, coming from a previous (old thread), I cannot believe we do not have this yet.

I agree that we should be able to set the due date when people submit the reimbursement or payment through Xero expenses. We process the payment in 14 days but there are always overdue bills because the due date is set randomly, some is 1 days after the expense date, some is 7 days that I dont know why.
