Expenses - Import claims on PDF files
Allow submission of PDF expenses. We frequently see invoices paid on expenses in small businesses that come in by email as PDFs but need to be printed and photographed to upload the expense.

Xero Expense - Use date of last entry
When entering expense claims, the program should be set to retain the date entered in the last expense claim item. When catching up on accounting, it is cumbersome to be working on July in December and have to go back and change the entire date for each entry. I should be able to retain the last entry date on the next and simply be able to edit the day.
5 votesThanks for sharing your feedback here, David. Appreciate how this could be useful when entering back dated expenses. Have you tried enabling receipt scanning as an option to automate some of this data entry?

Expenses - Edit Submitter when awaiting approval
The expense reimbursement function should include an option to change the submitter after the request has been sent for approval, rather than declining the request and re-enter just to be able to update the submitter name in case of 'submitting on behalf'
Additionally, it should allow exporting the entered expenses into an Excel file to verify whether everything has been entered correctly. Currently, exporting is only possible once the request has been approved. This feature is especially important when there are numerous expense lines.
Furthermore, the screen layout feels a bit cramped. Could the input fields be arranged in a…

Xero Accounting app | Bank Reconciliation - Ability to add an expense as 'common expenses'.
"Common Expenses" - fix product flaw.
In Xero app, as follows:
-Purchases
- +
-Add receipt
-Tap:Categorise to an acct
-acct list pops up with heading "Common expenses". 2 accts listed which I rarely use.
PLEASE FIX : there is no way to edit the list of accts under the heading at the top "common expenses". See my screen shot2 votesHi Tim, apologies for not returning to you here sooner! The Common expenses list in in the Xero Accounting app is auto-generated from your org’s chart of accounts, based on which expense accounts you’ve actually used when creating receipts/spend money in the app.
It’s effectively a shortcut of your most-used expense accounts. Atm there’s no way to manually edit or reset that list so we'll continue to keep a track on your idea here and share if there is any change planned.

Xero Expenses - Email to create expenses
Xero Expenses - The ability (like with bills) to forward an email invoice to Xero and it to be automatically added to your Xero expenses app.
92 votesHey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and appreciate the invaluable feedback regarding expenses in Xero.
Whilst we can see how forwarding expenses to an email address would be useful for your staff, this is currently a functionality that is not on our product team’s roadmap. In line with our new Xero Product Idea status, we’ve now updated this to Not In Pipeline.
We’ll continue to monitor the support for this idea and will keep you updated with any future changes.

Expenses - Simplify assigning expenses to customers or Projects
It shouldn't be so difficult to assign expenses to customers or projects, an expense or spend money item shouldn't need to be edited to add it to a customer or project.
Simplifying this process could be as simple as an extra column that can be enabled on the Account Transactions view and if a transaction isn't assigned to a project or expense then it can be simply clicked in the column and the customer or project selected.
Additionally Bank Rules should be able to include the option to assigned to customers or projects, if we have a client that charges…15 votes -
Xero Expenses - Set a default mileage rate for reimbursement
Set a default mileage rate for reimbursement in Xero expenses
157 votesHi everyone, thanks for all of your valuable feedback on this idea. The number of detailed comments clearly show how important this feature is for many of you.
We also agree that this would add significant value to Xero Expenses. That’s why we’re pleased to update the status of this idea to Accepted. This means we have reviewed your feedback and it aligns with our product vision.
While it is a feature we’d like to build, it’s not currently on our roadmap, so we can't provide a delivery timeframe just yet. We will share another update on this thread as soon as we have more news.

Xero Expenses - Customise the bill reference field
Expenses module: We want the ability to customise the Expenses Claim Reference.
All expenses under the Reference are set as "Expense Claims," which makes it impossible to search specific claims/events or others. Can this not be customised within the expenses Module ?
The recommendation from Xero is to revert to manual expenses, which defeats the objective of paying for the Expenses module. Any chance this can be added or will we need to remove the feature as there is no point paying for something we need to do manually?
37 votesThanks for sharing this idea and explaining how being able to customise the bill reference for expense generated bills could improve your workflow ✨.
Our Community team have reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support so it can gather input from other members. This means others can now vote and comment to share how this change could improve their experience with Xero.
At this stage, we do not have any current plans to share for developing this specifically for expense generated bills. We will continue to watch the support and detail this idea receives from the community, as that helps us better understand the level of demand and the use cases behind the request.
If others would also find this helpful, their votes and comments can add useful context for future review.

Xero Me | Expenses - Add stops for Mileage Reimbursement
Add the ability to add stops to mileage reimbursement. This way a person can add a round trip or add stops between the round trip to collect all mileage for the 1 trip.
19 votesThanks for the idea and adding your interest here, everyone. In lieu of a direct feature to accommodate this atm, you may find duplicating the claim to record each part of a trip useful in cutting down the data entry. We'll let you know if there's any change planned here.

Xero Expenses - Ability to combine multiple photos to one receipt
Be able to take more than one photo on the phone app and combine to one receipt, to be used for multiple page receipts or long receipts that do not fit into the one photo
155 votesHi everyone, thanks for your detailed feedback on combining multiple images to a single receipt.
We are changing the status of this idea to In Discovery.
This means our Product team has recognised that combining multiple images for a receipt will be a more streamlined process for expenses, especially for events like business travel and is the initial scoping phase, but haven’t got to the point where it’s on their road map.
We will continue to track your votes and comments as we progress, and we will update you all once we know more.

Xero Expenses - VAT on mileage claims through expenses
Many are complaining about no VAT option on mileage claims through expenses. I can see why this would be timely to implicate as the fuel element changes and is different depending on fuel type and engine size.
But think for those that want to, we should at least have a VAT drop down. We could then create a new tax rate for each rate or even employee using expenses.
For example I have a director with a vehicle >2000cc Diesel I believe using the HMRC company car fuel rates this equates to 19p inclusive of VAT. Using the 45p for…
107 votesHi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement with this idea. We know this has been a topic of conversation for a while, and we want you to know we've been listening about the challenges of claiming VAT on mileage in Xero Expenses.
We appreciate everyone who's shared their workarounds, like splitting the mileage claim into two separate lines. While we know this isn't an ideal solution, it's great to see how you're helping each other out here.
Your input is invaluable as we continue to evaluate the best way to address this. While we can't provide a specific timeline for a fix, please know that monitoring this is a priority for us. We'll be sure to keep you updated on any progress.

Expenses Report - Including billable expense assignment
Would really appreciate the ability to export expense claims for an individual employee for a defined period which shows which are billable to a client and those that are not.
Currently the Expense Claim Detail report only shows aged (unpaid) expenses and the Account Transactions Report shows all expenses whether paid, unpaid or submitted, but doesn't differentiate those that are general expenses from those that can be billed to Clients (Customers).
Hard to believe we are the first small business to request this functionality.

Xero Expenses | Labels - Enable filters and reports
Would love for Xero Expense Admin to be able to see Expense Reports listing the Labels, and being filtered/grouped by Labels.
For background, Xero Expense allows employees to put a Label. The Labels can even be pre-set in the organization's settings. But the Xero Expense Admin's don't have a way to report on on expense claims by Labels.
Reporting based on Labels would allow users to tag Xero Expenses for projects for instance.
65 votesHello everyone, thanks for your engagement and feedback regarding using labels in Xero Expenses.
We are currently reviewing all of our product ideas as part of a wider project to streamline the status of our community support on Xero Product Ideas and wanted to provide you with an update about this idea.
After reviewing this idea and our product roadmap, this feature isn't currently on our immediate plans as our development teams are focused on other core improvements across the Xero platform.
The status has now been updated to Not In Pipeline. Our product team will continue to monitor this idea and we’ll let you know if anything changes.

Xero Expenses - Ability to edit exchange rate
"As an employee submitting my expenses I don't want to be left out of pocket because Xero Expenses doesn't allow me to set the exchange rate I was charged by my bank."
Xero Expenses uses XE.com exchange rates for foreign currency exchange rates and it's not possible to override/change this.
It should be possible for the employee, or approver, to manually set the foreign and domestic currency amounts, or set the exchange rate itself.
54 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know that you would like to be able to enter your own exchange rate for your expenses.

Expenses: Option to disable mileage claims
Turn off the mileage claims option in the Expense Settings .. currently one cannot do this ... we have never used this option, and it's a pain when we use the Xero expenses app as it adds another layer to inputting an expense.

Xero Expenses - Combine Expenses into a single claim
Currently Xero Expenses creates a single expense claim for each individual item.
Normal practice for an expense claim is it contains multiple lines (different expenses), such as parking, a restaurant bill and a hotel.I would like to have the ability to group individual expense lines into one expense claim.
I would then have a single bill to pay (an expense claim with multiple lines) appear in my Bills to pay, rather than one for each line.
138 votesHey community, thanks for your detailed feedback on combining expenses into a single claim.
We recognise the value in creating a more streamlined process for submitting and approving multiple expenses, especially for events like business travel.
Our product team are currently reviewing this functionality and are in an initial discovery phase, but it isn’t set in their product roadmap yet. We’ve moved the status to In Discovery to reflect this.
We’re continuing to monitor feedback on this idea and will keep you updated.

Xero Expenses - Ability to overwrite VAT amount
When uploading a 20% vat rate expense via the Xero Expense App please allow for the VAT box to be overwritten if required. This is an issue when the Xero rounding is different to that on the receipt, usually by 1p.
Thanks
Andrew22 votesHi team, we appreciate your interest and support in the idea here, however I want to be upfront that we don't have any near term plans for adding the ability to adjust tax in Xero Expenses.
Right now, you could consider entering the expense as a bill or Spend Money transaction using the receipt’s line-item breakdown, where you'll be able ot manually adjust the Tax amount when needed.
I appreciate this doesn't solve the underlying need here and we'll continue to track interest through this idea.

Xero Expenses - Create receipt from body of email
I would like to be able to forward receipts I have received via email which are NOT attachments, but are inline / html receipts, and have Xero read them, like Expensify can.
I waste so much time receiving emailed receipts (BPME for example) which I then have to save as a PDF and forward / upload.
25 votesHi James, to clarify would this be when using Xero Expenses app to submit receipts or when emailing bills to your organisation? Thanks

Xero Expenses - Show original currency + currency amount
Have the original currency + amount available as field options in the Reports section, so I can run an expense details report and see both the original currency and the GBP.
The use case here is that we have US people using Xero Expenses who need paying in USD. I have to go into each expense item to manually write down the USD value and the add it up to pay. It's properly daft when I know the currency amount is there. And we can't enter it as a bill because they are using Xero expenses.

Expenses: Automatic mileage tracking
Quickbooks has "motion tracking" mileage, meaning the user doesn't have spent time entering their starting and final postcodes, they literally just turn the feature on and it auto records their mileage via GPS. I have clients (using Xero) who are on the road everyday for business purposes and this feature would be so useful for them to save time.
29 votesHi everyone, thank you for feeding back and sharing with us through the idea here. We appreciate why you'd like to see automated mileage tracking developed within Xero expenses.
While our team have a keen eye on the idea and interest in exploring this in the future we want to be open that resources are across other important work atm and there are no plans to develop this, this year.
We'll continue to track the interest and keep you updated of any change for this through the idea, here.
