New Invoicing - Invoice Contact Groups
Update new Invoicing to allow sending invoices to contact groups as you can in the classic invoicing. It's ridiculous that something so useful has been left behind in the switch to the new style. I need to be able to amend the invoices I send out based on the individual needs of the group. It saves so much time to be able to create a default set of drafts that I can amend rather than having to go to each individual and create an individual invoice within that group. Please guys, piull this across!
Hi everyone, we updated this idea to Under Review a couple of months ago and to give a little more detail - We know being able to invoice all members of a Contact group is something that our users find valuable. While we don't have a timeframe for this change right now, we're committed to developing this in new invoicing before we retire the classic version. We'll keep you updated of progress through this idea.

I use this feature all the time to create invoices for groups from 10 to 60 people attending an event. It beggars belief that Xero would withdraw it. Like several other pieces of basic functionality that are either absent or being withdrawn though, customer protest will make no difference: Xero continues to focus its resources on new, chargeable stuff at the expense of the base product.

This is such a time saver.
I agree that the group invoicing is an essential part of Xero's appeal and echo the suggestion that you DON'T retire the 'classic' invoicing until Xero have figured out a fix for the new invoicing process. -

Why don't you have a timeframe for this right now!? There are seemingly enough people who want this feature and are willing to go elsewhere if it's not implemented! It's a great feature that saves me a load of time when raising invoices for my music school. I don't want to lose that functionality!

I echo everyone else's sentiments. It's absolutely essential to our business that we have this feature up and running before you retire the classic version. Without it, it renders Xero virtually useless to us, as we do all our invoicing this way. It's utterly ridiculous that it hasn't already been resolved in the new version. Can you please give us some kind of timeframe and reassurance that you will resolve it well before you retire the classic version in September

I wanted to add my concern that this feature to invoice a contact group wasn’t included in the new invoicing. Without this feature we shall have to look for an alternative software. Please please update again with a timeframe of this being available or at least some reassurance that you will not make us lose the classic invoicing.

I could not believe it when I looked at the help page wondering why I could not create invoices for a group in the new invoicing. It said
Tip
You can only invoice a contact group in classic invoicing. If you normally use new invoicing, temporarily switch back to classic before invoicing a contact group.Why would you not keep such an important feature in the new version? I often create 10-30 invoices at once using this feature and it is essential to my business. If I had to create all of those invoices individually it would add hours to my workflow

@KELLY, PLEASE DO NOT RETIRE THE CLASSIC VERSION. ALLOW US THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE USING IT.

I also agree, as I invoice to members based on their grouping price. The classic invoicing was perfect for this as it means not doing individual invoices. It is imperative to have this feature.

I agree with comments below. Now have to do 100 invoices instead of 1. Saw another comment elsewhere that indicated this is just another missing piece in the new invoicing. Isn’t this supposed to be an improvement? So far I don’t see it. Please keep it or provide a substitute that does the same thig

Part of the most important feature that drew me to Xero was the group invoicing function. I am the treasurer for a club so I send the same invoice to many many members in each group. This is a voluntary position and saves hours of time. I will need to review whether Xero is what is needed if I can’t use that function.

Same with all comments here!! If I can't invoice via groups I'll need to send 200 invoices instead of 10. This is critical!! I have three companies with you, I'll have to look at different software after September.

If I can't invoice via groups I'll need to send 260 invoices instead of 30 when invoicing students. this is a critical things for me be able to invoicing the groups and the only reason I chose Xero over other accounting systems.

Please add the option in Xero Blue invoices to group Invoices by "Group"

Jane Solly commented
I completely agree, having just sent the same invoice to 30 people using the group invoicing in the classic format has saved me so much time! I can't believe this function hasn't been carried across to the new invoicing templates!!! Surely an oversight. Please remedy.

The ability to bulk invoice based on group in the new invoicing is a must. It is an option in the classic invoicing and saves heaps of time when doing annual rental invoices based on group type. We send out over 1500 annual rental invoices and have them in 4 different groups. To not be able to do this out of the new invoicing would cause real issues.

Bulk Invoice creation from standard job costs.
To be able to mass create recharged cost invoices such as Xero fees or standard fees that are charge on a quarterly/monthly basis. -
