New Invoicing - Select default for 'Approve' Button e.g not 'Approve & Email
Can there be a system setting which controls the default option on Invoices for the Approve button.
It is currently Approve & Email and we would like to have the default as just Approve.
If it was a system setting companies could chose best option for them.
Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback on this here. Through testing we found that majority of our customers would Approve and email an invoice at once, which is why this was developed as the default in new invoicing. That said we appreciate others would like a different action as their primary option.
While we don't have direct plans for adding the ability to set a default for this action, we're listening to your feedback and looking into how we can improve efficiency and speed things up for you when using new invoicing through the use of keyboard shortcuts. We'll share more news when we've confirmed what this shortcut looks like and are closer to providing this to you all.

Painful that you can't just approve an invoice without making an extra selection. Not everyone needs to email once an invoice is approved! Old style invoices had this option.

I was hoping that there was an area (settings) we can change the default "approve & email" to just "approve". We ultimately use invoicing to enter our daily banking so no need to send emails. Just another key stroke which 99% of the time is not needed. If this is not an option yet please advise and add to "would be nice list" for future improvements

Please change the default to just 'Approve', or allow us to choose per organisation - so many times I've clicked the wrong thing.

Rather than having a set default for all users/organisations across Xero, it would be good to allow the user/organisation profile change their default to what works best for them - whether that be "Approve", "Approve & email", "Approve & print PDF" etc

Can you please consider allow user to set default options to action on the invoice -
For example, on the top right corner of invoicing screen, changing 'Approve & Email' to 'Approve' as default, changing 'Save & add another' to 'Submit for approval' as default.
For bookkeepers who deal with historic data, we do not need to 'email' customer the invoice.We would like to approve the invoice by one click, not to click 1 - change ' approve and email' to ' approve', click 2- 'approve'.
Thank you.

With the classic invoicing being phased out later this year, this 'approve and email' feature will increase our mouse clicks per invoice and inevitably cause errors...we do not email invoices to the listed contact. This should never have been made the default. The default option should be simply to approve. Please change this back to how it was for classic invoicing!

I totally agree with this suggestion. I am assuming that the approve & email has been used as the default due to usage by subscribers. But there are many who don't. Each user should be able to choose the default.

After completing the invoice, the first option should be to approve. Not approve & email
Please change this.
The classic invoicing was better

This would be great.

I agree with this. Do we have this option yet?

Agree with this idea, and would be better to be able to change the default 'approve' option because we would prefer the approve and add another button as default.
Same goes for the 'save' options on new invoicing.
Also in quotes - change the default 'save' and 'send' options. -

We are using Service M8 and we send invoices across to Xero for emailing to the customer.
Rather than having to go into Xero at the end of each day and manually email those invoices to the customer, we would rather have Xero automatically approve and email those invoices to the customer. Thank you for considering this suggestion. -
