The Requester matrix allows you to mark specific fields as optional for approval requests, while others are mandatory and cannot be altered.

For Xero-connected Purchase Order/Bill/Sales Invoice/Quote/Manual Journal/AR and AP Credit Note workflows, you can set fields as mandatory or optional in both the Requester and the editing matrix.

In the Requester matrix:

Always mandatory fields

Fields that can be set as mandatory or optional

Supplier

Tracking Category

Theme

Account

Item

Tax

Region

This feature is available for Xero-connected Organisations under the Advanced and Premium plans as well as in trials.

Depending on the workflow type (e.g. Purchase Order, Bill, Sales Invoice), different fields may appear as always mandatory while others can be set as mandatory or optional.

Please note: If a field has been set as mandatory for Requesters, it will not be possible to submit requests without filling it in.
