Hi community, we can see there’s lots of interest in this idea and appreciate all your feedback and comments. We absolutely understand the value that unapproving a bill would bring to your businesses. Unfortunately, while the concept is quite simple, the technical implementation within Xero is highly complex.
The good news is that our Product team is still keen to solve this problem for you. They have a possible solution and would love to hear your response to validate their thinking.
Put simply, instead of "unapproving", the solution would bundle the following tasks into a single action so that you can effectively "unapprove" a bill much faster.
Void the bill
Copy the bill
Reattach any files (IF any) from the voided bill to the copy of the bill
A primary caveat to this is you could only action one bill at a time. So, if you had multiple bills that needed unapproving you'd need to use the feature on each bill, individually. Also, as a new bill is being created in the process, there would be no history from the original (voided) bill.
All things above considered, do you feel this solution would be valuable to your business?
We’ll give you sometime to feedback, and share an update once we’ve got more clarity from the feedback and how we move forward from here.

It's the history of the bill that is important and cannot be lost. For us, bills come through Dext or ApprovalMax and we need the history to tell us who has approved the bill. If it's been approved by the correct person we can process it for payment.
If someone accidently approves the bill in Xero, who shouldn't have approved it, it must be voided and then processed via Dext/AM again and correctly approved by the relevant person so that we have the correct history behind it.
