I'm here to add my frustration with the change to applying payments to invoices. Making it a button is HORRIBLE! Having to use a drop-down for the date is HORRIBLE! Please move it back to the way it was as a grid below the invoice. This redesign slows the process down AND has increased errors with dates. I'm glad to see you're planning to fix so that we can type in dates. Please get rid of the button and put the payment grid back where it was.

Can we add an auto-save to the new invoices and cancel as well. thanks.

The lag is ridiculous. You end up either doing the same task multiple times because it didn't register the first few times, or you miss a task because you think you've done it but you don't realise in your flow that it hasn't even saved (like adding attachments to an invoice).

It seams like everything they change just adds more clicks, not in any way is it reducing them! It is so frustrating and the lag/delay now is just adding even more time to complete simple tasks.

Why on earth would you think it was okay to remove the Invoice due date "Today" from the invoicing options?? I am sure I'm not the only person who invoices for payment in advance (ie pay today, your goods get shipped today) but now I have to actually select the date instead of choosing a nice simple button to select - adding more time to my invoicing day.

It's the little things Xero!!

Moving the payment button to the bottom of the invoice as it is in classic would improve the flow of the invoice procedure.

“1.5 seconds per extra click/scroll/feature distance increase at an average of 4 extra clicks/scrolls/distance increase per process x 10 per day x 5 days per week x 48 weeks in the work year x 4.2 million subscribers boasted by Xero = 16.8 million extra hours (that’s 1917+ years that Xero customers have to work, or pay their staff to work, because programmers/designers/tech team think its comparable.
So Divya Jolly you claim 70% of people are 'happy' with new invoicing, the other 30% still have have to work (1917 years x 30%) an extra 575 years.... thanks...

It is simple ridiculous what you have released! Ok it looks better...but does anyone care about the look when we lost functionalities and efficiency.

The amount of click to add invoice payment and to send the invoice to clients it is unacceptable in 2024!!! Not to mention that it is impossible to copy email addresses from the "email" functionality to be copied in the bank payment notification!

In the old invoicing, when I tabbed from one field to the next, I was always able to then enter text in whatever field I had tabbed to. This doesn’t seem to happen under new invoicing which is a pain. Is this going to be changed please?

I 100% agree with Damon O'Keefe! Those constant pop-ups are distracting and annoying, I don't need a reminder each time I create an invoice that Stripe needs more information, for the invoice date I need to scroll down too far to pick my own date. But what bothers me most is that it is sooooo slow! We run on very good Wifi connection, but since I allowed the new invoicing system every process takes ages!
I also think it would be good to have a choice of default discount options. In 98% of cases I am using % as my preferred discount option, so instead of each time remember that I have to add the %, one should have a default option.

So yes, please, work on those issues and once it is perfect get your paying customers back to the new system, for now I will switch back to the old one.

So pleased to see that classic invoicing is remaining for a while longer though feel that xero is being untrue when they explain why it has been extended - time to face it xero - many people are unimpressed with your 'New' system and want the much more user friendly version to remain. The negative comments online are increasing - wonder why?

I absolutely hate the "New Invoicing" as far as I am concerned there is nothing in it that actually improves it for us the users! The function for finding the address with the postcode / zip code is unavailable, meaning that the need to write out the full address is down to the user and this may seem trivial but it all takes extra time and it all adds up. Just leave it as it was, at least keep the option open for those who would rather stay with the classic, please!

I'd like to be able to tab across to the date, and manually enter in the day / month, then tab across to the next box - like I can now. Rather than having to use the mouse to click through all the options to find the required date. New version is too slow, too many steps & clicks. I much prefer the old version. For ease and speed.

Agree, I prefer the classic invoicing. I don't like the layout of the new invoicing and it isn't as user friendly. We pay for this subscription, we should have the option to stay with classic invoicing.

I like the classic invoicing as everything is compact and easy to read. I do not like the layout of the new invoicing at all. Please leave classic invoicing as a permanent option.

@Claire Barning - sounds like Xero's support staff are using you (and me and other users) to work out what the problem is. Gone are the days when the person that came to fix something, knew how to fix it and didn't need nor want you in the way. Nowadays, us users are de facto Xero employees, unpaid though. Think about that.

DISCOUNTS???
I used to be able to click the discount field per line item and the customers discount would populate automatically. Now, I have to remove the client, and re-add client for the discounts to automatically apply.
These discounts are at client level and do not show up anywhere on screen.
This is *** backward and a downgrade.

I agree with all these points

Adding a payment to an invoice inside that invoice is crucial, please bring that back... this is a downgrade on the new invoicing.
