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.

Hey everyone, thank you for all your feedback. We’re on a long journey to provide more granular access and controls within Xero features that our customers need.
As you may have seen in some of our recent updates across other user roles ideas we’re currently in the process of adding more permissions within Reporting and Inventory. Further to this our research has highlighted Payroll and Banking as areas that more controls are most needed, and are on our agenda as we continue to develop permissions and access to features.
Your feedback here and through direct engagements with our teams have been extremely insightful, and we appreciate all your inputs.
I'll continue to provide updates on the development of roles for features as we progress.

We can only assume there's a commercial reason for you not to add this feature, as this, like so many other obvious 'common-sense' and technically relatively easy features to add, are not. It's such a shame as you are building a lot of brand resentment over time because of this. There must be a middle ground you can think of to bring a loyal (but increasingly frustrated) customer base a host of must-have features without causing political issues amongst your app community, or shooting yourselves in the foot re any other commercial internests/apps you might benefit from?
What about a Premium Features Bundle Add-On or something? People would be happy to pay an extra little something for a raft of misc features, or even a nominal fee for each small add on, such as:
- Notifications for things such as invoice status changes
- The ability to forward attachments in for automated recurring bills and have them paired up.
Currently it's giving lots of customers the impression that you're not actually a leading tech company when so many simple features are disregarded at the expense of user experience and efficiency – it's costing people a lot of money and it needn't.
Rant over, but it's in everyone's interestests to take a hold of this as the Xero brand reputation and likelihood of people recommending Xero is diminishing from what I can tell. Which is a shame.
