Expenses - Claims for International freight
Within Expenses, have the ability to claim International Freight charges. Many freight forwarders charge a credit card for larger values and do not offer direct debit facility. We do not have company credit cards, so it is charged to a personal card and claimed. My only work around is to charge it as a bill to the freight forwarder, then pay the individuals credit card.

Hi Timothy, just trying to better understand your idea. Currently it's possible to enter a foreign currency expense claim through Xero expenses.
An employee could submit a claim for the amount of the international freight charge to be reimbursed by the business. Is there something missing in this feature that would help here?

Thanks for getting in touch.
The international freight charge is not a foreign currency expense. It is charged in local currency against a personal credit card for freight costs. If we had a company credit card, then it would be okay. But we do not.
Eg FedEx is invoicing $3000 in freight for a shipment we received. The amount must be charged to a credit card to clear customs - they do not offer direct debit. This results in a personal credit card for payment. I then create a “Bill” in Xero for the $3000 for international freight costs to FedEx but pay the credit card.
Can international freight charges be added to Expenses so it can be claimed appropriately?
Thanks
