It would be reality helpful, to be able to save regular/favorite trips, when making mileage claims, for trips you might do often and give them a sensible name like "Post Office Drop", "Hardware Store", "Materials Supplier". Very good for repetitive tasks/trips.
The Australian ATO app, does this quite well.
It also offers other methods of entering KM's.
- Favorite trips
- Point to point
- GPS trip
- Odometer reading
- Logbook

This is very important as so time consuming.

It would be very helpful to set default account codes and cost centres for recurring monthly expenses. Currently, for a monthly subscription, we have to manually create a new expense and enter the Expenditure Type, Project Codes, and Account details each time—despite these remaining the same every month. Could you please enable the option to configure these cost centres directly through the Contact, so they automatically populate each time? This would greatly reduce the administrative burden.

This is for the web, not phone app.

It would be great if we could open an approved expense, click "copy" to duplicate all the details but leave the attachment blank for a new photo, rather than needing to create a new expense and manually enter the same details each time.

It would be helpful to load regular expenses on behalf of our staff. they currently load monthly expenses which are often the same amount and then we get charged the $5 fee each time as well. Would be great if I could set up a recurring expense for them that gets paid out each month.

The ability to enter in the new app is, honestly, much better that what it previously was. Its more streamlined and easier to use. The problem arises when trying to pay out said expenses.
Previously I was able to reimburse myself in incremental payments when the need arises, but now I am only given the option to pay out the entire amount. As a small business this doesn't work as cashflow is tight. I can incur $5k in expenses in a month and may only want to reimburse myself $1k of those for now. Worked great before, no option to now unless I go through the web version only. So now I have to scan individually each receipt and fill in the details manually, which takes time.
Why this was never advised when I purchased the app is beyond me. I need the ability to reimburse myself in increments put back in order to un my business efficiently.

We also need to be able to set up recurring expense claims for subscriptions and other purchases for our employees. Why on earth is this taking so long to be implemented?

As Mark O has asked, given that going back to the original expenses would be a simple way to help your users save time, why hasn't this been implemented. I had a good session on the phone with Peter from Xero to discuss this and he acknowledged that this appears to be a case of the development team not asking the product team what the users actually thought and how they used the product. It is clear to me that there is a case whereby users that are affected by this change have a case to make a claim against Xero for costs that have been imposed by on us by this change.

We purchased Xero where the original expenses was in place and we built our systems around this. We now have significant costs and poorer business processes as a result of this change that wasn't requested nor were we given a chance to discuss the change.

It's simply not good enough.

A simple way to help your users save time, why hasn't it been implemented yet?

Would be very handy for recurring subscription expenses that go onto the corporate credit cards.

Hi, I need this feature to enter subscription expenses as well. Did you fix this?

An excellent point and something that would add real value. Particularly in light of the terrible situation that has been created with the movement to 'new' expenses.

Any change to expenses that allows proper tracking and improves efficiency would be appreciated across the user group.

A constant bugbear for me as I recreate the same set of expenses every month and I have to use a separate tracker to manage this. Given this idea was raised in 2012, I'm disheartened to see it hasn't progressed at all.

This feature will save time for our employees, when submitting expense claims and will avoid errors.

This is definitely a feature that can make the process more efficient especially if it is an approved budgeted recurring expense. Only a receipt/invoice to be attached the expense.

Many things like Dropbox etc are paid on credit cards and are regular monthly subs. The ability to know you are going to spend 16.99 per month and set Xero to prompt you to claim it would be so helpful - lots of expenses go unclaimed because of forgetting

Regular mileage trips would be a great add too for expenses. Either every week I do x amount of miles or the ability to save a journey and add it when required.

We have alot of Xero users that submit claims/credit receipts through Xero Expenses, this feature would save a lot of time

Saves submitter time if it is a recurring expense each month or even Weekly etc. approval would just be needed to ensure the expense has remained the same.
