Expenses | Notifications - Option to choose the type of notification e.g email or in app
Ability to turn off email notifications for submitted expenses to Xero admins. Only started receiving email relating to submitted expenses as of 10th July 2025 but have been told by Xero support that it is an integral part of expense management and can’t be switched off. Have used Xero and expenses since 2019 and have never received an email relating to an expense submission. Am more than happy to continue receiving notifications of submissions via Xero Me mobile app but do not want or require email notifications.
41 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback, and have been monitoring this change closely.
We appreciate the differing needs of our customers our product team have temporarily removed the notification changes mentioned in my previous update - This means this'll reduce the amount of email notification you're receiving from expenses.
We're looking into enabling more controls for expense notifications and I'll come back to share any further news around this with you here.

Expenses - Sort by Expense Date, not Created Date
Xero expenses now seems to be showing the date created in the list of expenses to be approved, rather than the date of the purchase. That makes processing much more difficult. I think that has changed in a recent update. Please can that change be reversed?

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.
Perform bulk…14 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

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.23 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.

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.

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.2 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 - 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.

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
Manually change Common Expenses! Infuriating that you can't changed these. I've been stuck with the top 4 I used in the first 3 months of the app but they are now so different.

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.
3 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 🙏

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.
3 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 😊

Stop hiding draft expenses
Currently if you add a receipt through Xero Me this is no longer obviously visible as it used to be on the old home screen. This makes it extremely easy to miss that there is anything pending.
Even if you click on Expenses to review, this does not bring up any draft receipts. It's as though this has been designed to make it really easy to overlook these!

Employee Directory Attendee Picker for Expenses
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

trying to add expense, approve and pay it all on the same 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.

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.

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.
4 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…
