Enter your idea

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the possible solution we shared a few months ago. After careful consideration taking all feedback on board, we will not be moving forward with this solution.

We’re still considering how we might solve for the issues presented here over the long term and there are other pieces of work the team are currently delving into such as duplicate bills detection that may also help solve some needs here.

That said, we’ll move the idea back to Submitted and continue to keep you updated on any progression that can help the needs expressed through the idea here. Thanks

Hi community, we can see there’s lots of interest in this idea and appreciate all your feedback and comments. We absolutely understand the value that unapproving a bill would bring to your businesses. Unfortunately, while the concept is quite simple, the technical implementation within Xero is highly complex.

The good news is that our Product team is still keen to solve this problem for you. They have a possible solution and would love to hear your response to validate their thinking.

Put simply, instead of “unapproving”, the solution would bundle the following tasks into a single action so that you can effectively “unapprove” a bill much faster.

• Void the bill
• Copy the bill
• Reattach any files (IF any) from the voided bill to the copy of the bill

A primary caveat to this is you could only action one bill at a time. So, if you had multiple bills that needed unapproving you’d need to use the feature on each bill, individually. Also, as a new bill is being created in the process, there would be no history from the original (voided) bill.

All things above considered, do you feel this solution would be valuable to your business?

We’ll give you sometime to feedback, and share an update once we’ve got more clarity from the feedback and how we move forward from here.
