Enter your idea

Not sure why I have to submit a product idea when it looks like it has been raised many times…that might mean this has to be fixed for the paying customers..

It has always been automatic the ‘send me a copy’ then all of a sudden it has been dropped.

This is now made it very difficult to track invoices and quotes, can you please restore asap!! If it can’t I will need a reason please.

This should not be a "Product Idea"! It is a necessary established feature that confirms invoices have been sent, that Xero have decided to drop. Bring it back!

If it can't be made default, what about ticking the 'send me a copy' box at the top of the invoice when adding client, issue date etc.? Also move the attach files up there too would be useful.

The 'Send me a Copy' does not stay on by default in the new invoicing unlike the classic invoicing. This is beyond ridiculous, a major timewaster and should be fixed now. Absolute stupidity that this is even an issue....!

This would be handy so that Xero invoices into my inbox can be relied upon to trigger an automation.

It is absolutely ridiculous that you took this option away from us (your paying clients). We CFOs absolutely rely on the ability to monitor whether our invoices are being opened. I realize I can do it manually, but that is silly. We bulk-send invoices and now I have to individually touch each one. PLEASE RESTORE THIS SETTING ASAP!

Xero, your users have been complaining about this omission from the New Invoicing for 8 months. Do you read these? Do you care? Can you at least explain the logic of omitting this option?

Please do this

Essential, please implement.

I have had queries from clients on the issue of not being able to select attach a PDF on invoices, they seem to have to select this every time. The old invoicing when you had selected to attach a PDF , the system remembered

Looking back on this thread - I am amazed that this has not been implemented. Come on, Xero.

Please automate the 'send me a copy' on invoices. This feature was really helpful. I don't want to remember to tick it on every time.

How do we get you to pay attention to this needed change? I thought progression meant implementing better functionality not removing it.

This is a an urgent fix for the new invoicing. I hope it's sorted before the old invoicing is retired. I don't understand why it's not included in the first place.

Send me a copy when automated should also automatically include any attachments that are going with the invoice to the customer.

A few other things seemed more clumsy with extra clicks required as well compared to classic.

E.g. the date selection required more clicks, And I think saving and viewing the invoice PDF which I always do before sending wasn't as straightforward. Same as adding and viewing other attachments.

I've also switched back to Classic Invoicing for this reason. And I am not looking forward to the new system unless it is better with less clicks required.

Xero's "New Invoicing" is a classic example of software developers working in isolation, without conferring with actual users.
I can't see any actual improvement on the current invoicing. On the contrary, it's so much more cumbersome.
But to actually take away an essential feature!?
I've gone back to the old invoicing and hope and pray that they reconsider retiring it in September.

It's great to have proof of having sent the invoice in a dispute. This request is essential for the trail to prove to a tribunal that the invoice has been sent on a particular day.

On the old settings we could automatically tick the box to send me a copy - why on earth do you think we don't need it anymore - it's essential? How else can I find it in my inbox?
Please reinstate as soon as possible.

Please automate the 'send me a copy' on invoices. This feature was really helpful. I don't want to remember to tick it on every time either.

It's still available in classic invoicing .....
