Bill Payments - 2 stage approval process for online bill payment
Online Bill Payments - Can this please have better security applied to it, requiring 2 approvers to release funds. The current design with a single approver to release funds in the Australian version goes against a lot of company governance policies requiring 2 approvers to release payments. Otherwise, how is Xero preventing a user creating a fraudulent bill, approving it and paying it without needing anyone else to be involved.
Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on this idea. We can understand why having a two-stage approval process for online bill payments could be useful for businesses with internal approval policies or multiple people involved in authorising payments.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest from the community.
As we gather feedback, it would also be helpful to understand how you'd like this to work in practice. For example, should approvals be based on payment value, specific users or roles, or support multiple approval levels? If you have particular approval workflows or controls that are important for your business, please share them below.
