Enter your idea

I invoice once a week and will have about 40 invoices in a batch. The ability to "add another invoice" that was available on the original Xero Invoice screen has been removed and I now have to go back to either the Dashboard or back to the Invoice screen under Sales Overview. Either way it is clunky and slows down what should be a speedy process.

Related to this article: https://central.xero.com/s/article/Approve-and-send-a-customer-invoice#:~:text=Find%20and%20open%20the%20invoice,to%20only%20approve%20the%20invoice.

Please allow to set default to "Approve". The current default set-up is "Approve & email". I find it a repetitive task as we always need to click and change the selection to Approve before I proceed to post the invoice.

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.

Many of us only add invoices once a day or once a week, so we are ALWAYS adding multiple invoices at the same time. If the above recommendation by Andrew is too complex, then may I suggest that the users simply be able to define the default action of the button (leaving the others available in the drop-down of course).

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.

would be legendary

Sometimes I want to add more than one invoice at the same time, and so I choose the "Approve + Add Another" option in the button dropdown. That's helpful, since it's fewer clicks and fewer page loads. But for the second invoice form, the button stays with "Approve" and I need to click the small dropdown arrow and go into the button menu again and select "Approve + Add Another", and repeat this for every invoice that I add.

I think if someone selects "Approve + Add Another", then the second invoice form should have "Approve + Add Another" as the default choice. This will make adding lots of invoices a little bit easier and faster.
