Split-screen (Quick View) bill approval removes rounding adjustments → causes incorrect supplier payments

Hi team,

I’ve run into a consistent issue when approving bills using the split-screen “Quick View” in Xero, and it’s starting to create real payment discrepancies.

Scenario:

• A supplier invoice includes rounding (e.g. total is $100.01)
• I enter the bill and include a rounding adjustment (either via line item or total alignment)
• The draft bill total matches the supplier invoice exactly

Issue:

• When I approve the bill using the split-screen preview (without opening the full bill),
• Xero appears to recalculate the bill from line values
• The rounding adjustment is removed or overridden
• The approved bill total changes (e.g. drops back to $100.00)

Result:

• The approved amount no longer matches the supplier invoice
• This flows through to batch payments → suppliers are under/overpaid by small amounts
• Creates reconciliation noise and requires manual correction

Important detail:
If I open the bill fully and approve from the edit screen, the rounding is retained correctly. This only seems to happen in the Quick View / split-screen workflow.

Impact:

• Breaks trust in the approval workflow
• Forces us to avoid Quick View entirely for invoices with rounding
• Adds extra review steps for something that should be safe to approve quickly

Request:

• Ensure Quick View respects saved rounding adjustments and final bill totals
• Or at minimum, prevent recalculation on approval if the bill already balances
• Or provide a warning when totals change on approval

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Happy to provide examples if needed.

Thanks
