Expenses - Introduce Bulk Actions for Submission and Approval
Bulk Actions for Expenses: Restore Submit/Approve Many. With the retirement of Classic Expenses, a major efficiency feature has been lost: the ability to process expense claims in bulk.
The Problem: Currently, each individual expense claim must be opened, reviewed, and actioned one-by-one. For anyone who needs to approve 20 claims at the end of the week, this is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process. What was once a 30-second task now takes many times longer.
The Solution: Reintroduce checkboxes and a bulk action menu to the expense claims overview screen. This would allow users to:
Select multiple claims.

Xero Expenses - Ability to bulk import Expenses
Problem
The migration to the new Xero Expenses module has created a significant regression in workflow efficiency. Specifically:No bulk entry path exists. Organizations processing high volumes of expenses must manually create each item one-by-one through the new expense form — which is itself slower and more cumbersome than the legacy interface it replaced.
The API is a dead end. Both the Receipts and ExpenseClaims endpoints are marked DEPRECATED, yet no replacement public API has been introduced for the Xero Expenses module. Receipts submitted via the deprecated API don't surface anywhere in the current Expenses UI. This means integrators and…
9 votesThanks for re-raising the idea with us here, Ben. We'll see if this idea gains support from more community users and please do share if there are others that you feel would benefit from this too sop they can add their support.
In terms of the API we have a separate idea forum where these ideas can be raised and experts that are better suited to handle and review these sort of requests.
I've found an idea for an API for the Xero expense feature that you may like to support for this.

Xero Me - Ability to reconcile credit card expenses from a bank feed
It is impossible to us the credit card bankfeed function and allow for the credit card user to account for these expenses in Xero Me.
Solution: allow for credit card transactions to pull through into Xero Me via automatic sychronisation. This should provide a more streamline approach to recordinng individual company card expenditure, remove time in reconciling missing receipts and remove duplication.39 votesHi everyone, we wanted to provide a quick update on the idea to enable reconciliation of credit card expenses directly within Xero Me.
This idea is currently classified as Gaining Support and has started to gain traction within the community. We appreciate those who have shared their interest and feedback so far.
If this feature would help streamline your expense management, please continue to vote and share your thoughts. Your input is important in helping us prioritize future improvements.

Classic Expense Claims widget - reinstate it
It is a nonsense that Xero has removed the Classic Expense Claims widget from the homepage. I have been using it for 11 years and it is unacceptable that this has just been taken away - now we have to pay more for the new Expenses module if we want it to feature on our homepages. This is the type of product deterioration under the guise of “improvement” which brings tech companies into disrepute. Just put it back please :(
4 votesWe appreciate there are some customers that are still using Classic expenses. There are no plans to develop a widget in the new Homepage for Classic expenses.
However, you can access Classic Expenses by clicking Purchases > Expenses, where organisations that are using Classic expenses will see a banner and can select to go to Classic Expenses.

Expense Claims - Populate contact for reimbursable expense claims
Re-introduce Vendor Auto-fill in New Expenses to Save Time & Prevent Data Duplication. The new Expenses experience is missing the vendor auto-fill/suggestion feature that existed in Classic Expenses. This is a critical time-saving tool that also prevents the creation of duplicate vendor records due to minor spelling variations or typos. Re-adding this feature would greatly improve efficiency and data hygiene.

Xero Expenses - Add custom fields for SARS
EXPENCE MODULE - TRAVEL - NOT TAX (SARS) COMPLIANT
Xero Expenses currently captures the following for mileage claims: date, distance, and a description. This is wholly inadequate for South African tax compliance and exposes every South African business using Xero Expenses for travel reimbursement to material tax risk.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) prescribes specific logbook requirements under the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 and the Seventh Schedule thereto. A valid SARS travel logbook must record the following for every trip:Date of travel

Expenses - Pick Expenses attendees from directory
I’d like to submit a feature request for an enhancement to Xero Expenses, specifically around team meal and group expense submissions.
Current Challenge
When employees submit expenses such as team meals, client lunches, or group events, there is currently no built-in way to select the attendees from within the organisation.At the moment, users can only enter attendee details manually (e.g., typing names into the description), which leads to:
-inconsistent formatting
-missing attendee information
-difficulty auditing expenses
-additional work for finance teams during review and P11D/PSA reportingRequested Feature

Expense Claim without staff using XeroMe
Would be great to be able to create an expense claim for all the staff members listed in Payroll without them having XeroMe access.
Our staff don't use XeroMe at all, but submit expense claims on the odd occasion. The Expense option is a great idea but very limiting to the staff members that we can use it for.5 votesHi Vanessa. Thank you for this suggestion.
We understand that for staff who rarely claim expenses, setting them up as a Xero user just to process a single reimbursement can be administratively heavy.
As you have found, the current Expenses module requires the "Claimant" to be an invited Xero user. Because your request is to allow claims for "non-users", we are classifying this as a new idea to Gain Support.
A note on Xero Me access: If the main barrier is that your staff prefer not to use the mobile app, it is worth noting that they can also submit their claims via the web version of Xero Me (logging in via a desktop) instead of using the app.
A workaround for non-users: For staff who do not have a Xero login, you can process their Expense Claim on their behalf. If you need an extra hand you can raise…

Expenses - make Customer field searchable in Xero Me app
The customer field box really needs a search bar. Having to scroll through 500 customers is very tiresome. There should be a search bar for every field to be honest. It does exist on the browser version, but not the app version.

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
6 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

Expenses - Add , Approve and Pay on one screen
Adding physical receipts as a New Expense, currently it is not an option to add the expense, approve it and pay it all on the same screen! this would reduce multiple screen requirements and delay in processing, also assist with reconciliation.

User roles - Hide the Customers list for Expenses "submitter" users
I appreciate that the "Assign to customer" option is useful, but I do not want all of our field staff who use Expenses seeing our customer list. Surely this option can be removed for "Expenses Submitter" roles (but kept on for "Approvers" and "Admin")?

Mobile App - Ability to manually edit or reset 'Common Expenses' list

Xero Expenses - Add an 'Assigned To' reference in Expenses to show if its been assigned to a project or tracking category
When approving expenses in Xero Expenses, list the 'Assigned to: Project; show up next to the date and category for easy approval instead of having to click into the expense to ensure its been assigned to a project before approving the expense.
4 votesHi Kim! You might've seen we just released an improved expenses list that entails a few enhancements our customers have been asking for.
We have more planned for this space including surfacing the ability to view tracking and the customer or project an expense has been assigned to.
I'll come back to share once the teams start work on this 😊

Expenses - Permission to submit on behalf without approval
Expenses - I want to be able to give an employee the ability to submit on another's behalf but not to be able to approve them or see everyone else's expenses e.g. Executive PA should only be able to submit her the Executive and not have the option to approve or see another employee's expenses.

Tracking - Assign Tracking categories for expense users
It would be useful to be able to assign default tracking categories to users for expense submission so these don't need to be manually added to each individual claim.
6 votesHello everyone, we understand that being able to automatically assign tracking categories to users for their expense claims would be a huge benefit, saving you time and ensuring accurate reporting. 📈
We've heard your suggestions we're continuing to monitor the interest in this idea, but it's not on our current development roadmap. We'll be sure to update you here if anything changes in the future. 👋

Expense claims - Choose which fields are optional
Adding a feature in Xero that allows finance admins to designate specific fields on expense claims as mandatory or optional would ensure consistent data entry, improve financial tracking, and streamline the approval process.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Compliance: By making certain fields mandatory, such as business function or event tracking, admins can ensure that all necessary information is provided, reducing the risk of incomplete or incorrect submissions.
Improved Data Accuracy: Mandating specific fields ensures that critical data, like cost centers or project codes, are always captured, leading to more precise financial tracking and reporting.
Flexibility: Different organizations or departments may have…

Expense Claims - Edit after it has been paid
It would be good if you could edit some fields in an expense after it has been paid, without having to undo the payment and redo. It would be the the same as for Bills where you can edit some fields after they have been paid.
We pay our bills in batches so to undo a payment means you have to undo a lot of payments and redo.
The fields we would like to edit (like a tracking category, or unassigning an expense as billable) do not affect the payment details.33 votes -
Xero Expenses - Custom list of accounts per expense user/role
In "Expense claim settings" you can select from the chart of accounts which are available in expense claims, and there is a separate list for mileage claims. I would like to be able to customise these lists by user, or better still to be able to create user roles and assign customised account lists to each role. This is to prevent people submitting expenses against accounts that are irrelevant to them, and to simplify the expense entry process.
