Does Xero have AP automation built in?

Partly. Smart Document Capture (all plans) extracts bill details from files forwarded to a Xero email address, uploaded, or photographed in the app and creates draft bills; bills can then be moved to Awaiting Approval and approved by users whose role allows it. Approval is a single status step with role permissions, not configurable multi-step routing; Early is limited to 5 bills. For Xero, Vergo's live integration covers expense management: card spend and receipts.
