New Invoicing - Reduce number of steps and clicks
New invoicing has introduced more clicks, taps, steps at almost every level.
Please remove the added friction as it increases processing time.The "new invoicing" messages are full of comments regarding where these pressure points have been added.
We are paid subscribers, and beta testing/seeking feedback is wonderful, but being forced onto an inferior model is.. suboptimal.865 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to share and keep us informed of the differing flows and actions that could be improved in how you invoice with Xero. All feedback through these forums and across Xero Central discussions has been shared with our product team and will be carefully considered as we continue to build on your invoicing experience.
About a month ago we changed the behaviour of how defaults are applied, so now when you copy an invoice for the same Contact their defaults will automatically be applied to the new draft invoice.
Most recently, and as you may have noticed we've released a new line item grid (where you enter the details of your invoice). Many changes that come with the new grid are based on feedback we've received from our customers the most prominent for this idea being that we've optimised padding, font size and column widths to…

New invoicing - Add lines button
New invoicing - bring back 'add new line' button and dropdown +5/+10...
This is an existing feature on classic invoicing, why would you drop it!478 votesHi community, we've now released a new line item grid within invoicing. There are a few changes that come with this release, with the most relevant for you here being the ability to manually add rows to your invoice.
While you can still tab through to create a new row, you'll also have the option to click the Add row button to manually add and move blank rows within your invoice.
I do want to note, that though you can move blank rows within your invoice, blank rows will be removed when you save the invoice (this is the same behaviour as classic). If you'd like to retain these rows once saved you'll just need to add a character within the Description field for example '.' or '|' will ensure the line is saved with the invoice.
We understand there is still some appetite for being able to add multiple…

New Invoicing | Files - Drag & drop anywhere on the page
In old invoicing, you can just drag and drop the file into the window and it uploads. In new invoicing, you have to drop it in the box at the bottom of the page. Fair to say this is tedious!
451 votesHi team, returning to confirm that the ability to drag & drop files anywhere on the page in new invoicing has now been released to everyone. We hope you find this enhancement helps speed up and make attaching your files more efficient as you invoice.
Just a reminder that you'll need to add a contact to the invoice first, and if you'd like to include files when sending to your customer, select the 'Attach files to email' checkbox once uploaded.
Thank you all for your engagement, votes and staying updated with us through this idea.
We understand some customers workflows mean they would like to attach files before adding contacts and while this isn't something that's available right now, I'd recommend making sure you've joined this idea for any updates.

New Invoicing - Reduce the amount of empty space on screen
Have less white space on new invoicing as it fills screen. The notes section which is in contacts 4000 chars make visable and editable on the new invoice page so we can see it whilst creating and invoice. We dont then have to keep jumping from one page to the next.
437 votesHi team, taking a lot of our customers feedback onboard we've just released a new line item grid that encompasses many improvements our customers have been asking for. With this change, our product team have optimised padding, font size and column width, reducing the amount of white space and providing a more compact view. For many customers this means less scrolling and better visibility of the contents of fields like Account and Tax Rate which are now wrapped so you can see the full contents.
We value all the feedback we've received from customers as we keep developing this experience. Please continue to add your votes to what matters most to you, our product teams continuously lean into your feedback and trending ideas from the forums here as they plan more improvements.

New Invoicing - Keep the previous Contact when using Copy
Please change the new invoicing so when we copy the invoice, the previous contact automatically appears as default
We should not be choosing the customer each time we copy an invoice
382 votesHi everyone, we've introduced a change to new invoicing so you now have the ability to copy an invoice to a draft invoice and keep the existing contact. 🙂
When you select this option, you'll see a pop up where the current contact is selected by default, however you can choose another contact or leave this blank if you'd prefer.
Thank you for all your support and sharing back on the idea for this feature, here.

New Invoicing - Add new Tracking option
The ability to add a tracking code from within the 'new invoicing' bills.
Classic invoicing has this ability and it would be excellent to have it in the new invoicing also.288 votesHi everyone, we've now released the ability to add a new tracking option within new invoicing to all customers!
Just like classic, you'll find using the option +Create new tracking opens a modal within the screen that allows you to easily add a new option for that tracking category on the fly.😊
Thanks again for all your feedback around this improvement and it's meaning to you here.

New invoicing - Option to use Xero Network
xero to xero Invoicing
We use the Classic Invoicing version on Xero to send Invoices to our inter-companies and clients who are also registered with Xero.
On 02 Sept 2024 this version will retire and only New Invoicing will be available.
We are not able to select "send via Xero Network" from the New Invoicing option (using our Xero Network Key).Are the technical teams still working on this to have the option available or will this option fall away?
Thank you

Hi ChantelleAs you’ve found, there’s no functionality in New Invoicing…
210 votesHi everyone! Back to share that Xero to Xero is now live within invoicing. Thank you for all your valuable contributions and sharing in product ideas.
As mentioned in my last update, with the way that we've built this within invoicing we've been able to also enable the ability to include file attachments when sending via the network 😊
See more details on how to send via a single invoice, or multiple, on Xero Central.
Right now, this is live to all but Singapore organisations. We're still doing a bit of work to provide this capability to Singapore and I'll update again when available in this region.

New Invoicing - Show stock level when adding a Tracked inventory item
When typing a quote, available stock used to show (when you typed a figure in the "quantity" field (if available stock was less than required the open window would turn red) but it doesn't now. It would be great if this feature were also added to invoices (and quotations as before) so that one didn't need to check stock on a different page for each item being invoiced. I note that it shows when typing a credit note, so it must be possible!
168 votesHi everyone, back again and pleased to share that viewing stock on hand is now with all users in new invoicing!
We appreciate the engagements you've all shown to let us know the importance of this feature when invoicing and how being able to view how many items of tracked inventory you have when invoicing, enhances your workflow. Thank you for feeding back and sharing your thoughts with us here.
Do keep joining, or start new ideas to let us know further changes you'd like to see developed.

New Invoicing - Hide detailed summary on email
The new invoicing email sends a detailed summary of the invoice as part of the email. We would like the option to opt out for this like the old email template. We like to breakdown our invoicing internally for reporting purposes but the client does not need a breakdown of line items, just a total. We use custom invoicing templates so that we dont show line by line breakdown and the new email overrides this. Please do not switch off the old invoicing module until this is fixed. Downloading an invoice and sending it through my emails is time consuming…
159 votesHi everyone, we appreciate all the attention this idea has received and while I know this has been mentioned by others earlier in the conversation we wanted to confirm it is currently possible to remove the detailed summary from showing within the invoice email.
This is controlled within Email settings and updating your email templates for sales invoice.
If you open your template you'll see an option for 'Include action to online invoice and detailed summary'.
Having checked in with our team we have no plans for changing this flow in the short term, however this is a one time action so once you uncheck and save the template you'll find this removes this formatting from any invoices you send with the template applied.

New Invoicing - Reset to Default Due Date option
New invoicing is missing the ability to select the default due date that is against the customer. I had to change the invoice date for a customer with set payment terms of 30 days from the invoice date and there were several suggestions listed but the old option to reset to default date was missing.
160 votesQuick roll out here 😊 the improvements for the date selector are now live to all users including the ability to Reset to default due date.
Just remember the default will be based on the setting in the contacts record, or if there is none saved this will default to the options set in your Invoice Settings.
Appreciate all your feedback and sharing with us through the idea here.

New Invoicing - Print PDF option
Provide the ability to directly save invoice as a pdf like it did in classic invoicing, rather than opening it in Chrome and then having to click the download button etc, the old way was more efficient.
144 votesHi everyone, as of today we have released a change to this process. Rather than opening the PDF in a new browser window, now when you click Print PDF in new invoicing the file will automatically download for you to Print from your device. We thank you for your feedback on this.

New invoicing | History & Notes - Show email sent to
Can the new invoicing template show the address like the old templates used? Now if you go into edit the addresses have disappeared and to check if it is correct you have to click on the contact and fix it in a new tab.
Also the notes section has removed the time stamps and the email address the invoices get sent to. Can the new invoicing have the same notes and history function as the old one.118 votesHi team, I can confirm we have released another update for the history of new invoicing where now you'll see an entry when the invoice is sent and the email address it has been sent to. 🎉
We appreciate the interest we've seen around this. We still have a few more pieces of work we're doing around the history in new invoicing and you can stay updated on this progression on this idea.

New invoicing - Edit exchange rate
It is currently not possible to change the exchange rate used in the new invoicing screen, when invoicing in a foreign currency. You have to switch back to classic invoicing to correct it to the monthly rate we have entered in settings.
108 votesHi team, we have recently released the ability to set the exchange rate within new invoicing for organisations that use multi-currency.
Just like classic, as soon as the invoice currency is changed to a currency other than the orgs base currency, the option to 'Set exchange rate' will appear which you can click to edit.
We know this is an important feature you've been waiting for in the new experience, and we're really keen for you to try it out and share any feedback you have back with us here. Thanks!

Bills - Bulk Void multiple bills
When duplicate bills have been entered you have to delete them one by one, would be great to be able to delete them in bulk
103 votesHi team, just as a follow up to my last update - along with the ability to bulk void bills, it is now also possible to bulk void payslips. See my last update for more detail on this process 🙂

New Invoicing - Date picker without using "Pick another date"
Can the New Invoicing Template have a the original way to change the date instead of opening the date dropdown to then have to open the "Pick another Date" option if it's not today or yesterday.. If it was today it would already have that day selected, so why is it an option? just added extra steps to select the correct date..
101 votesHi team, the improvements to the date selector are now live to everyone! Thank you again, for all your feedback.
Along with this change, we also recently released an update to date entry shortcuts so you can now enter the same shortcuts that you had with classic invoicing such as +0 or 't' for today's date.
With copy and paste you'll find you can copy and paste dates however these will currently need to contain a '/' or '-' between the day-month-year to appear correctly.
We appreciate there are other options when selecting dates that our customers would like to see and there are other ideas that you may also like to vote and join for updates.

New Invoicing - Option to edit 'Attention' field in customer address
In new invoicing, please revert the ability to edit the postal address 'attention' box, back to the same as classic invoicing. Property managers want the owner's name included in the invoice address, so for each invoice I produce, I need to change the person's name in the 'attention' box. Previously this could be done by clicking on 'edit address' within the invoice, but in new invoicing, I need to edit the address by going into 'contacts', 'edit ', 'addresses', 'edit address', 'update address', 'save'. Once this is done, the ability to email the new invoice disappears, and I have to…
97 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to tune into updates of the idea here. Taking feedback on board on information that's most helpful to our customers we've released improvements to the ‘Contact’ field within new invoicing.
We heard being able to edit and add the 'Attention to' for a contacts address was important, and we've now added this capability into the contact card so you can edit this in the billing or delivery address detail, on the fly.
Along with this; there's now a look up tool so you can easily search and select a contact's addresses, and we’ve added more lines to enter a contacts address if needed. We appreciate your engagement and letting us know what matters to you through product ideas.

Contacts - Money in/out graph from the contact overview Why removed?
Why has this been removed? I genuinely can't understand any good reason for doing so from a Xero user perspective. Please reinstate as soon as possible! It is such a helpful, immediate visual tool to be able to qet a quick insight into a client, or suppliers, payment history and patterns of behaviour. It highlights immediately where there may be gaps and is something I (and others in our business) make use of on a daily basis. Additionally, as someone who benefits from visual learning, to completely take this option away is hugely disappointing. I'm now faced with a page…
95 votesHi all, if you hadn’t already spotted, the Money in/out graph is back 🎉
It shows the cash in and out over last 12 months, and you can still mouse over the graph to show the actual amounts. The bars now have a minimum size for visibility! In the old graph depending on the difference in cash amounts the smaller bar would sometimes not be visible.
With this updated version you can switch to a table view that was added for our accessibility users/ those who prefer seeing a table rather than a graph. You can also choose to show or hide the graph entirely, just use the overflow menu above - see screenshot for illustration.
Thanks again for all your feedback on this change, we’re glad to be able to bring back an improved version!

New Invoicing - Separate Email button, instead of a 2-click selection
The email invoice button on the new invoice template has moved from a main button to now being in a sub menu in the three dots, adding a click to the work flow.
But Print PDF is still a button on the main invoice template.
In an era where email is preferred over a printed PDF in the post, it would be nice to retain both EMAIL and PRINT as main buttons on the new invoice system. Seems extra work when you are sending a whole load every day for bigger companies.89 votesNot a separate button in itself, however we’ve released some new shortcuts that’ll save you all the clicks here!
Thanks for all sharing your flows and the efficiency you found in being able to easily select to email your invoices. Listening to our customers feedback we know improvements to reduce the amount of clicks for actions in new invoicing is important.
We’ve just delivered a range of keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry.
Now you can easily bring up the send modal within a Draft, Awaiting Payment or Paid invoice by typing Alt-Shift-M (or Opt-Shift-M on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of…

New invoicing add file from library
85 votesHi everyone, we appreciate you engaging with us here and your patience while we got this developed in new invoicing. We have now released the ability to attach a file from your file library, and you'll see this option when you click 'Attach files' at the bottom of the invoice. Thanks

Xero Network - Include PDF of Invoice when sent with Xero Network Key
Automatically include PDF of invoice when sending it via Xero Network Key.
Purpose: Some clients need to see the attachment of the invoice. It’s also good for audit purposes.
85 votesHi team, pleased to share that with the release of Xero to Xero in invoicing we've also provided the ability to include attachments with your invoice when sending, as well as the option to include a PDF copy of the invoice. See more detail on Xero Central.
Currently this is live to all regions excepting Singapore which we're just doing a little more work to enable. I'll be back to share when Singapore users can also make use of this feature in Xero.
