approval process for the Purchase Orders and Bills
We would like to submit an enhancement request regarding the approval process for the Purchase Orders and Bills functions in Xero.
Currently, the approval workflow is not very user-friendly, particularly for organisations that process a high volume of transactions. We have observed the following limitations:
- Purchase Orders – There is no option to approve multiple purchase orders in bulk. Each purchase order must be approved individually, which is time-consuming.
- Bills – The process is even more cumbersome, as users are required to open each individual bill before it can be approved. This significantly increases the time required to complete the approval process, especially when handling a large number of supplier invoices.
We would appreciate it if Xero could consider enhancing these functions by introducing:
- A bulk approval option for both Purchase Orders and Bills.
- The ability to approve transactions directly from the list view without having to open each individual document.
- More flexible approval workflow settings to improve efficiency and productivity for finance teams.
These enhancements would greatly improve the user experience and save considerable time for organizations managing high transaction volumes.
We hope this request can be considered in your product enhancement roadmap. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improving Xero. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this suggestion.
