    Hi everyone, thanks for joining and supporting this idea.

    We understand there are a few different use cases for why you'd like to attach a file to an asset within the Fixed Assets register, as well as transactions themselves.


    To be upfront our team's current focus, like many areas of Xero, is on upgrading Fixed Asset technology, as we build greater consistency between Xero experiences, making it easier to learn and navigate Xero. Some of these changes may seem minor, but are critical in terms of delivering new and exciting value later on.

    That being said, our team is researching what comes next and this is a focus because it is the most supported idea for Fixed Assets right now.


    As we continue forming the future of Fixed Assets in Xero, we'll share if there’s any updates.

    FYI team - one work around is that you can attach a file to the original transaction, and so long as you code the transaction to an asset code from the outset, you can refer back to it using a button that says "see original bill" in the registered asset screen. But if you code to an expense code in the first reconciliation, you never get the option back again. While I entirely support this request, I always try to code anything I suspect to be an asset, as an asset in the first instance, so that I get a draft I can work from. You can always delete if it turns out it's not an asset.
