Expenses - Multiple levels of approval

We need to upload an Approval Matrix/Approval hierarchy with a scope depending on "Location" and "Total amount" with 2 levels of approvers for "Expense claims" (EC) & "Purchase Orders" (PO).
With that, we are looking for automation on sending the EC & PO automatically by the system to the correspondent Approver depending on the scope through email.

Hi team, we appreciate wanting more flexibility in expense permissions and that for some businesses a multi-level approval process is necessary.

Though we are continuing to develop Xero expenses to encompass more tools and features our customers are after, we want to be upfront that we don’t have any plans to change expense permissions on our current roadmap.

We will continue to assess your feedback and consider ideas like this as our plans evolve. If there is any change we will share an update.

    This is an important requirement for us, we have varying levels of approvers in the business. We need to be able to give approvers rules as to which other employees expenses they can view

    This is very important to us as well. We need two approvers to approve bills and purchase orders.

    this is a basic feature. what is the ETA on this?

  • Dean Griffin commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a massive requirement for us, we have varying levels of approvers in the business, and lower level managers can see higher level managers expenses. We need to be able to give approvers rules as to which other employees expenses they can view

    I googled to try and find how to set this up after an employee erroneously claimed expenses that were actually paid by the company card. How is this not already a thing?!

  • Craig Keith commented  ·   ·  Report

    Line manager approval is fundamental to any employee expense process and I'm dismayed that Xero haven't come up with a solution.

    We will not sign up to Xero Expenses until I can assign a specific approver to each user, or until Xero enable Expenses to be approved by a third party app such as ApprovalMax.

    Very disappointing.

    Is there any idea when this will be implemented? This is something that is becoming vital for our business to allow us to continue using Xero Expenses.

  • Morris Mac Donagh commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is basic stuff and along with multi user approval (different approvers for different employees) still cannot believe it hasn't been implemented.. Come on Xero sort it out

    Ability to have two people to approve expenses.

    Purpose: This is to make sure that expenses are checked thoroughly.
