New Invoicing - Move Save button to bottom of invoice like classic
Please move the SAVE for the New invoicing to the bottom as per old invoicing. When you have an invoice with 30-50 items and then have to scroll back up to save it adds to the pressure of getting things done.
Or Better still
Leave the old there until you've got it together and your Paid subscribers are happy.
We are seriously looking at moving away from XERO due to all the changes you impose on us without proper UAT. More often than not it creates more work for us and causes more stress we just dont need in an already busy environment.
Hi team, while we don't have immediate plans to change the placement of buttons on new invoicing we're interested in staying close to this feedback and I'll move the idea to Under review for the time being. We'll return to confirm any outcomes.

I would love the approve and print the same as the old system, clients are making mistakes of 'approve & send' and they don't mean to ....
approve and print is great option, and with the older version you could then e/mail after printing, its great for proofing of typing errors for them as well.... -

Another time wasting feature of your new system. Is it not just common sense, intuitive, logical, to put the SAVE button at the bottom of the area you're entering information into??

Emily Aspden commented
Have the product development team actually sat down and created an 80 line invoice?
My guess is not.
Because if they did, they would understand how counter intuitive it is to have to scroll all the way up to save or approve an invoice (don't get me started on the two steps of clicks to approve because I'm one of the 'minority' who doesn't want to 'approve and email').Please please move it back to where it was perfectly fine, at the bottom of the invoice.

Much more efficient at the bottom of the invoice.

Polly Hutchison commented
As yet another customer with long invoices, please put it at the bottom.

Can I ask why Xero thought the new sales format works and looks better. It does not flow with dataentry. You have moved the save/update button to top of screen which means when a business now starts to enter a draft sale and it has a number of lines you have to now scroll to the top of the page where as before it appeared close to your last entry line. The font is now larger which I personally find takes up more of the screen so you have to change formats all the time. Can we please have the option to continue to use the old format or at least change where the save/update button is to appear.

This is another one of your new "features" that I just can't wrap my head around at all! I wish someone would explain the "pro" of having the "Save" button at the top? I realize if we don't speak up, we won't be heard, but Dear Lord - I am soooo busy that stopping to try to add my voice to this is consuming time I don't have. Especially when I fear no-one will even consider our thoughts and suggestions!! We've been using XERO since 2017 - I can assure you I have seen you ignore many requests and recommendations, the majority of the changes you have made do not positively affect my work flow but do the exact opposite - more key strokes, more scrolling, more tedious steps!

We sometimes have to raise invoices with over 40 lines, the button at the bottom made all the sense... Your "upgrade" is the most counter-intuitive thing I've ever seen. All this "we can't support two invoicing layouts at the same time", simple. Don't. Develop the new one on a separate platform , beta test it and then tweak it before rolling it out. I'm not a developer and this makes sense to me. Might not be cost effective though... which I think is where the problem lies. This is beyond ridiculous, we are all asking, please put it back where it was and are being told blatantly, no.

Oh ... you are interested in hearing more!!!! Terrific ....
How much time do you think your clients want to spend on Beta testing?
You could hire people to do that.Today I am being forced again to use your 'new invoicing'.
And I am being forced again to communicate to you about the things I've already brought forward.
How many votes does it take?
Do I have to run a campaign?I am trying to do my work which is not testing software.
There is no benefit in having it on the top.
The invoice is created, we are working top - down NOT down-top.
So the button for further actions ought to be at the bottom, not at the top.
I am not sure in which situation this would be different.I am flabbergasted by the nonchalence approach .... "please tell us one more time what you want". Again, you can do that with a focus group or something.

I agree, put back at the bottom. The save and close is not helpful either as you then have to go back into the draft copy to approve and print the pdf and email.
Surely the whole point of having this consultation is to listen to what your paying customers require from this application?

We need this at the bottom. If you have 50 lines in an invoice, having to scroll all the way to the top to Save is a pain in the proverbial.

Michelle Poulton commented
Agree, we have long invoices, and having to scroll back to the top each time is annoying and inefficient. Please move it back to the bottom, or have both top and bottom
-
Jane Phillips commented
Agree

Helena Dovey-Walker commented
Putting a save button at the bottom and the top would be very useful to save scrolling!

Tropical Waste commented
After all why would you listen to your paying customers???????The whole autosave function needs looking at - our Invoices are raised and then checked before sending by a second and sometimes third person who often have to edit/adjust.
-
Andrew Syme commented
Can someone please explain this request to me ?
New Invoicing has Auto Save. So All changes are automatically saved unless there is no Contact. Xero will not save an Invoice without a contact.
When does anyone intend to use the Save Button ?
As for Save and Close, What point ? Just click on the Breadcrumbs to get back to Invoices. -
Lee Clark commented
Scrolling all the way back to the top of the invoice to SAVE is time consuming, Would be more beneficial to have another SAVE & CLOSE button, at bottom of page. THANKS

I can't find the save button either

Product development needs to focus on how efficient they have made the new screens. Unnecessary scrolling is inefficient. Please try to think of the user when developing positioning for placement of buttons.
