Come on Xero, this is basic, we all work evenings / weekends to do invoicing, but we don’t want invoices going out at 11pm on a Sunday! Basic

This is the last critical piece to sending worry free invoices.

Yes I agree as feel like this is a basic and vital user function that is currently missing and would appreciate feedback on where this is at from the Xero team please.

Please enhance and execute this feature as make things easier

Would majorly improve efficiency, seems like a very basic function is missing!

The ability to schedule one off invoices would absolutely be a game changer to increase the efficiency of our team. Currently we have to make a note to go back and send the invoice on the date we would like to - not very efficient for our work flow and there is room for error in this method.

This would save me a lot of time.

Some clients check their e-mail at night some dont.
When I create an invoice late at night I want to send it so I dont forget, but I may not want my clients to know I am working and sending e-mails late at night.
So Delay send unill 8 AM would be a critical feature.

To be able to schedule a one off invoice to go at a certain date in the future that is not a repeating invoice.

This would be a really helpful feature - please can it be introduced

would love this feature. Any progress on this since 2012. come on guys. help us out.

This feature should be standard.
I would like to see this implemented asap so that I can raise invoices that will be sent to my clients on the date as stipulated in our service agreement/s.
We use the repeat-invoicing feature for static billing, but for dynamic services, require this feature so that I am not sat building invoices on a weekend when the dates fall that way.

Notice this idea was flagged in 2012. Any progress a decade on? This is a fairly standard capability in most apps these days.....

Please add this! It's pretty standard to be able to schedule things like emails to go out in other platforms. This should be pretty straightforward, and super helpful for those of us that have invoices to send out on a monthly basis that don't have the same charges every month.

And just to be clear, the use case for me is NOT that that I look unprofessional. It's that I know in advance of a month finishing how much I need to charge a client, but it's not the same as the last month. It's hard for me to predict exactly when I will know the charges for the month - sometimes it's at the beginning of the month, sometimes the middle. To get it off my plate, I create the invoice the minute I know, but given my contract says I will send invoices at the end of each month, I need to send it according to that timeline. So I'd like to be able to create and approve the invoice in the middle of the month, and then schedule it to be sent according to the contract terms.

Ability to schedule invoices to be sent at a future date

Purpose: Users can set up a preference date to send their invoice, and to make sure that invoices aren’t sent during the weekend. As it makes them look unprofessional.
