Xero Expenses - Multiple images per expense claim
Xero Expenses - In multicurrency expenses there is currently no ability to add more than one image/PDF to an expenses claim.
We have many employees who travel for long periods of time or for certain jobs and need to be able to submit one large expense claim with multiple line items and also provide a photo/PDF of receipts for each of these items. But currently you can only upload one image per expense claim.
On top of this there is no ability to set a different currency as the default currency for specifics employees which would be a helpful feature for saving time.

A massive flaw and one that should be such an easy fix.

I have to say I'm quite surprised at this limitation. Not being able to attach multiple receipts to an expense with multiple lines feels like a significant design flaw and suggests this scenario hasn't been fully thought through. In real world use, it's very common for a single claim to include multiple receipts that need to be categorised across different expense lines (for example, hotel accommodation and meals, or multiple meals on the same day). From an accounting and audit perspective, being able to clearly link each receipt to its corresponding line is fundamental. Requiring these to be split into separate expense claims undermines accuracy, creates unnecessary admin and increases the risk of errors or duplication.

Well I guess this (really sensible, easy to implement and completely bloody essential function) for any expense system..... Is never going to be addressed !

To add to this I need this for Xero Me - I would love to be able to add multiple items, with image to a claim and then at the end of the trip or month I can close the draft claim and submit it for approval... Even if it was limited to say 10 or 15 items, that would be better than just 1 for each claim. We want to stay with Xero Me but without this feature we have to consider moving to a more streamlined option. thanks!

It is so important to get this function implemented. It would save valuable time if the member of staff uploading the claim could attach multiple pdf's rather than spending time emailing it to accounts who then have to go in and manually attach to the claim.

Can someone explain to me why you can add additional expense items to make a larger claim ie a monthly claim for all expenses over that month, but you can only upload one image? This renders the claim completely pointless.

I have been asking for this, for a couple of years.
Please please can we have multiple images per expense.

I have made recommendations to two clients and they all ask this question; when will they be able to submit multiple expense claims at a go? Imagine having to submit 50+ receipts after a tiring trip on the field. I believe this will save time.

This is another example of the expenses tool no longer being fit for purpose. It seemed to be fine before it was changed and now misses the mark on multiple issues.
Xero must engage with users and revisit this part of the system.

This would be really helpful for users. As the admin I can add receipts but that's not the most efficient process.

@Xero... why is this critical issue more than 2 years old from when it was first shared and still no fix?
surely this cannot be such a major fix that its taken 2 years research and still no solution? -

Our organisation has recently implemented expense claims. Our staff have also raised the issue they would expect to be able to load multiple receipts on the app. I hope this can be resolved soon.

Honestly, it's absurd that in 2025 this is not a standard feature yet.

If I have 5 expenses and I will create a claim of these 5 expenses together I will only be able to upload 1 receipt but I MUST upload ALL of the receipts. I dont understand why the app let me insert all expenses in one single claim but does not allow me to upload all of the receipts for every single expense. doesnt really make sense to me. It needs to fixed urgently

This needs to be fixed now. Considering we are paying for the privilege of using the new expenses function in Xero, when classic expense claims were free, we need to be able to upload multiple files per expense claim. Could you please advise if this is being looked into and when it will be fixed.

This is the exact same issue for my company. Brokers travel a lot and get receipts in lots of different currencies. Also, in your classic system we always used to include screen shots from back accounts showing conversion charges etc to show what the actual cost was for each expense.
It's super frustrating that the new Xero expenses system is a downgrade from the last one.

This is very critical and urgent, I find the new version of expense claim unhelpful and time consuming. I makes work difficult where several receipts relates to one block payment.
