    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.

    We urge Xero to prioritize this feature. Multi-level bill approval is not an edge-case request — it reflects the governance reality of HOAs, nonprofits, partnerships, and any organization where financial authority is shared. Building it natively into Xero would improve workflow, strengthen internal controls, and eliminate the security risks associated with third-party workarounds.
