Product Update

Bill approvals, a new Operator role, and clearer notifications

Route bills through approval before they’re paid, hand day to day admin to the new Operator role, and get clearer notifications alongside a refreshed Xero view.


New features

  • Bills now route for approval before payment, with submit, approve, decline, cancel, and resubmit all handled on the bill itself.
  • An Awaiting my approval filter with a live count shows approvers exactly which bills need them, alongside a matching dashboard card.
  • A new Operator role sits between Admin and User, covering day to day administration while billing, company settings, spend policies, and bill approvers stay with Admins.

Improvements

  • Notification subjects and bodies lead with the company name, replies route to the right person, and low funds alerts show current balances.
  • A refreshed Xero layout makes it easier to move through your transactions and see what still needs attention.
  • The transaction log states when a settled amount differs from the original, so changes at settlement are easy to spot.
  • Money returned from an unsuccessful BPAY payment now appears in your account as a deposit.
  • Pending balances stay accurate when a merchant asks to increase the amount held on a card transaction.

Bugfixes

  • Receipt checks now flag when an uploaded document isn’t a valid receipt, so you know it was reviewed rather than missed.
  • Single sign-on logins complete reliably across all configured identity providers.
  • Pages load straight through to the app without a flicker while your statement balances load.
  • The web app runs consistently on older browser versions, avoiding errors on pages that use newer features.
