New Invoices - New Contact search address by postcode
As the new invoicing is no longer optional. I believe this issue must be addressed for all customers in the United Kingdom.
When adding a new contact upon invoice creation, allow us to search for the address via postcode like we used to. This could be achieved by postcode search ABOVE Billing Address, then auto-populate the billing address based on the input post code.
Note there were many issues with the search results which must also be addressed (See: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/46289185-contacts-improve-uk-postcode-lookup)
OR alternatively allow us to simply input the full address as one line and YOU automatically digest it and put the relevant information in the appropriate fields, (UK addresses are not THAT complex to sort this out and this would be an enormous time-saver for those of us that have tens to hundreds of new clients every week.
At the VERY least, you could default the country field to United Kingdom!

I contacted Xero support and they had a lovely, unhelpful response!
I wouldn't hold your breath for this unfortunately... -

this is so important, a feature that was available and now it is not, Xero going backwards rather than forwards! Not only does it save an enormous amount of time manually entering full addresses, it is also a way to check that the address is correct, for example, if in incorrect postcode is typed in and there is an error in it, the pull down menu of optional addresses would not match the address so one can then check that they have the correct address. So many other software companies have this facility and if you had it once, you can surely do it again!

Postcode address search is extremely useful and saves a huge amount of time for online mail order businesses.
I use it for all new customers when I create an invoice in the current Classic Invoicing system.
When you are producing hundreds of invoices per week this is a critical part of the invoicing process.
