New invoicing - Add lines button
New invoicing - bring back 'add new line' button and dropdown +5/+10...
This is an existing feature on classic invoicing, why would you drop it!
Hi everyone, to keep you updated on this idea work in this space will provide the ability to add a new blank row to your invoice one at a time. Once added you'll also have the ability to drag and drop the row to where you'd like it placed in your invoice, which we know some customers use to help format their invoices and space lines out.
I appreciate that some customers have mentioned wanting to add multiple blank rows at once, and want to be open that this isn't planned with this release.
Being under development atm, we plan to have this to you all before classic invoicing is retired and I'll be back as soon as it's out to let you know, here.

I really need to be able to add a line to an invoice so that when i PDF an invoice if it is an extensive invoice it is spaced correctly.
Please dont retire classic before fixing this issue.

Related issues to the number of lines is the fact that when you do add a line and enter account details and figures, if you then want to add another line and move the account details and figures, you can't delete from the first line - a zero remains in the boxes. Previously you could delete the figure and account name. Very annoying as you then have to delete the original line, which is all good and well unless you want to keep the narration in the original line field.
And don't even get me started with the 4 decimal places when entering a number as GST inclusive! What is with that??? -
Julie Sladek commented
This function is still not showing and classic is supposedly being shut down in 20 days!! Completely useless only giving us 1 line

Please reinstate "Add new lines" - it is a basic function.

Is feature returning? Any updates?

What was the point of the new invoicing? It has lost functionality with the switch and now takes more time to accomplish with more steps involved for no reason. Shouldn't the goal of software updates to make it easier for users not harder? Quicker not longer.

not good enough set up add lines as it was before
it was straight forward
you may not want to fill a whole new line
You might have multipe produces and services that need a new line
why should be space bar when all you need to do it use what was there before
not impressed -

I am utterly gobsmacked. How on earth is adding lines to an invoice not part of the standard functionality. Utter madness. Utter, utter madness. What are you thinking? How are we going to do this? Use the workaround of copying old invoices which leads to error. I was told by Support JUST NOW that I cannot even add one line. Truth. This just can't be real.
Utter. Madness.
The new invoicing system should not have made it past UAT. If going Live was the "UAT" (hope everyone has enjoyed testing it and expecting it to be glitch free) then at least don't retire the old functionality until this one is up to par. My goodness. "New functionality" What the???
I feel like Xero has been taken over by AI. I feel for the Support Team. They must absolutely cop it.

One step forward, two steps back. I'll never understand why you must meddle with something that isn't broken! Do you ever allow time to run your new ideas past the users and properly respond to their suggestions and problems before you put the new option in place. Even with this run out, you have released it before many of the requests have been addressed properly. You have partially addressed the Item list issue, but still only 50 lines show. Why couldn't we have a scroll option down the entire list?

@SG.GS Billing - That is a really good suggestion!

SG.GS Billing commented
Must the lines be added to the bottom of the page?
What if I have a 80 line invoice and the line to be inserted is for example the 6th line? -
Andrea Hughes commented
Definitely agree. Please bring this entire feature back !!!
-
Samantha Klimecki commented
I like the way I can finish the first line and it automatically adds a new line for the next item.
But that is just the way I invoice - I can see how it would be annoying for others .
Why can't we have both features? -

Reinstate "Add a new line" to the new version of invoicing. Without it, what used to be a single invoice with multiple lines turns into a series of duplicated invoices each with a single edited line.

Greg Molan commented
Definitely agree. Please bring this entire feature back !!!

Agree with what everyone is saying here - we want to be able to add lines first and then enter text as required. ****, have both options Xero if you like? Just add back the Add more lines button and everyone's happy.

Carolyn Burgess commented
I have raised this problem as well and it just make my everyday work so much more complicated and time consuming.
What makes this even more frustrating is that as you cannot add a line without first typing in a field, and at times when I go to move the cell up to a different position in the invoice (if that is required), the whole invoice crashes, won't save and I have to redo all of the work again. It really is a nightmare!!!!!

Critical feature of Classic Invoicing that needs to be instated in the new version of Xero. We need the add Lines feature along with the option of blank lines for comments only. Please re-instate.

Cannot add multiple, new empty lines within new invoice, we used to be able to add 5 or 10 new/empty lines. New lines now have to be added one at a time in new invoicing and you can't add subsequent new lines without adding text into each line which slows down adding multiple items. (add a new line button to be reintroduced)
