Hi everyone, this idea has been created from the original post here in order to track the appetite and continue to assess the needs in attaching files to employees within Xero Payroll for NZ organisations.
While we don't have plans for this at this time, our product team's would like to continue to track the interest, and if there's any news we will share with you all here.
All NZ based users that voted on the original idea have been added for updates here.

Hey community, thank you for continuing to highlight how important multi-level approvals for paying bills can be for teams of all sizes. We’re currently building a customisable bill approval workflow into Xero that'll let admins set rules based on factors such as amount, supplier, account code or who submitted the bill. You’ll then be able to automatically route bills through selected approvers in sequential or parallel steps. ✨
Approvers will be able to take action in Xero, with a digital audit trail captured in history and notes to identify who approved a bill and when - Helping to keep the approval chain moving. You can read more about our direction in our update on The Long and Short of It.
I’ll come back to share as this begins to officially rollout.

Hi community, thanks for sharing with us on this idea. It would be good to get further insight into why the user would not be invited into the Xero organisation if they are a part of the approval process.
While we don't have plans for developing a share link on bills like invoices at this stage, an option for some right now could be to export bills from your organisation which could be provided to the right person in a CSV format.

Hey Nikki, thanks for sharing this idea.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments too.
In the meantime, it is possible to bulk Approve invoices from the Draft tab. Once this is done, you'll get a message where you can click 'View invoices' and select them all to then Email.

Hi team, thanks for the feedback about how routing bills based on account code would be helpful in sending bills to the right user.
At present, we’re working on a bill approval workflow that'll support rules based on GL account code, alongside amount, supplier and submitter.
Matching bills can then move through selected user approval steps, with email alerts and a record of the decision kept against the bill, helping to reduce manual sorting and so your teams can keep the approval process in Xero instead of relying on separate lists or email chains.
Posting and accounting treatment will still follow the normal bill process once the required approval is complete. I’ll update again as this feature begins to roll out.

Hi community, we appreciate the challenges manually chasing approvals can cause in the flow of processing your transactions.
We’re pleased to share that we’re now actively working on a customisable bill approvals workflow to tackle this front on. As part of the flow an approver will receive an email when their approval step becomes active, and within Xero you’ll be able to see what needs attention.
This means the person responsible can go straight to the bill, review it and approve or reject it without searching through the wider bills list. 🙂
We recognise this work is limited to bills at present and there are users that'd also like to see these similar notifications on other document types. This is something we’ll continue to consider how we might leverage these notification patterns for other areas of Xero but don’t have commitments for as yet.
You can read more about the …

Thanks for raising your feedback with us here. It's really good to understand what's important to help our customers working in Xero.
If possible it'd be great to get more detail as to why you're often needing to access the Tracking Settings? In many places you'll find that you can add new tracking options for a category while on the go and entering transactions in your org, so would appreciate deeper understandings of your business flows here.

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

I think this issue could be solved in the same way as the issue arround payment type for bills. A new field where you can determine the payment type eg Direct Debit, AP, or Under Dispute. Would need to be able to filter on the field to make it work properly but could solve two issues in one.

Appreciate the feedback here, everyone. As noted in my last update - we released a notes feature in the contact record that enables you to add editable notes (up to 4000 characters) that are visible when viewing the contacts record.
At this stage, we don't have any plans around pop up notes similar to what's being asked on this idea, however understand this is really what's needed to help solve for your idea here.
For now, we'll shift the idea back to submitted and continue to track the interest. If there are any other developments that could help achieve what you're asking we'll share this with you all, here.

Hi everyone, we know this remains a highly important request, and we appreciate the volume of detail you’ve shared around billing, delivery and contact management workflows in this idea.
As shared in our last update - our team has been progressing the next phase of work needed to bring this more meaningfully into invoicing.
We know many of you are looking for clearer timing, and while I’m not able to confirm a release date at this stage, I do want to reassure you this remains an active area of work for our product teams.
We’ll continue to return here with further updates as we move through the next stages. Thanks again for your patience and for continuing to share the workflows that make this so important.

Hi Barbara, when considering your idea here - is there a specific report you'd find the option to exclude rather than deselecting most useful?

Hi community, thanks so much for all the interest we received. The teams interview spots filled up quickly and they are now fully booked.
Apologies if you didn't manage to sign up to one of the interviews — We really appreciate your enthusiasm and may reopen the link for future research rounds. We will make sure to update here if there's more opportunity.
We will be back to share outcomes from the teams exploration.

Thanks for everyone's support in this idea. We understand the strong feelings expressed in your comments, where an invoice can be accidentally approved when still needing to go through a review or remain in a draft status.
As suggested by some users in this thread, if this has already occurred an option for now would be to add a note to the history of the invoice so other users are aware of the action and what needs to be done, or alternatively Void the invoice and copy to a new Draft invoice (consider if you need to change the invoice # before voiding the approved one, so you can use this on the new draft invoice).
While not a resolution for this idea, to avoid mistakenly approving an invoice an option could be to make use of the keyboard shortcuts that are now available in invoicing such as Save &…

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hi team, wanting to provide an update to you here, we want you to know we understand the efficiency more users would like to have in being able to automate the creation of the Xero subscription invoice inside their Xero org.
To highlight from my last update for UK users this is possible with eInvoicing through the online invoice (My Bills page).
This is still something we're interested in developing in more regions however isn't planned in our roadmap just yet.
When resource opens up for us to be able to pick this work up we will share an update with you all on this here. Thanks for staying engaged and supporting in this idea.

Yes, I agree, would be really great to get the Xero subscription invoices via eInvoicing.
