Enter your idea

yeah I agree I cannot see why this feature was removed.

I disagree. Automatic new line is a pain as it just adds one line when you enter something in the last line.

When I'm building an invoice, I regularly add however many lines I want first then structure it the way I want.

If I want to add 5 or 7 or 11 or whatever, I just want to be able to click the add a line button, not **** around entering a character in the last line just to get one more.

I would agree with others that the new line automatically adding is better than the old invoicing where it was another click to add a line

Hi, as the new invoicing adds a new line automatically not so much of an issue, what would be great when add quantity sold it would advise if not no stock rather than wait to end when approve so check bills waiting for approval.

Just put it back..... Really not hard to do.

If you had a look at the new invoicing you would see that the moment you start entering data in the first line it automatically adds a new line below.
And that's only by tapping on the TAB button.

Can't see how the old invoicing is better in that regard.
With the old invoicing you have to manually click to add a new line even if it's just one extra line.

I could not agree more - The flexibility to add lines in classic invoicing means I haven't switched to new invoicing format as it drives me insane that this function is missing.

Silly to remove this. Use it every single week.

@Elise Edwards - You have to fill in some of the info in the last line and it then automatically adds another line.

However, you then need to put data in the quantity and/or unit value fields of the new line or it deletes the new line again.

It is a really stupid change IMO. Classic has an "Add line" button to add as many lines as you like, without auto deleting them again if they were blank for any length of time, which worked perfectly fine previously.

This is a classic example of change for change's sake, that does nothing to improve the UI and actively makes using the UI harder.

How do I add a new line on new invoicing?? Surely we cant just have 2 lines and thats it? What a ridiculous system? I have some invoices that have up to 20 items on. How am I supposed to add these now?

This is one of the reasons I have been avoiding the switch to New invoicing. It takes too long to add each line individually. Why would they take this feature away, it doesn't make any sense.

THIS IS EXTEMELY CRITICAL. we are paying for a service because it works for the business ....why take such a "basic" important feature away?? New invoicing should be an improved function - now we are becoming time frustrated

I agree. It's a critical feature for us. Very surprised they've removed it!

We have to detail every item on a lot of our sales invoices sometimes on a big job that can be 10-20 lines some customers demand to see the items used, which is correct by law, how am i supposed to do this now XERO? Absolutely ridiculous!!

Adding my support to this request - being able to add lines is pretty much critical for me.
It seems utterly ludicrous that Xero have removed so much quite basic functionality is this "new' version.
Crackers.

It would be interesting to talk with the people who designed the new invoicing system interface and ask them why they would change the interface so much by removing existing functionality?

Users would easily move to a newer system as you're changing the underlying api's to move to a better more expandable and efficient system right?

Well, if that is the case, why have your developers ignored users by removing existing functionality or changing it to the point where it is no longer user-friendly.

Users will resist change - especially if that change is going to increase time to perform a task. The person in charge of the UI needs to be sat down and spoken with.

Can you have a Drop down with "copy to new line" and add all the previous information to new line.

Often information is the same from line to line except for the date or quantity.

Add the ability to insert a line anywhere in the invoice body if an item is forgotten and the invoice is complete, We can easily add it without moving it from the bottom.

A lot of people ask for that in different posts, BUT Xero doesn't want to hear our request.

Just tried the new invoicing and as this option was missing and have reverted. I've been advised they have a plan, just hope it's in place before they switch off the old invoicing!!

Can it be done in then new invoicing? Just went back to the classic for now
