New invoicing - Option to use Xero Network
xero to xero Invoicing
We use the Classic Invoicing version on Xero to send Invoices to our inter-companies and clients who are also registered with Xero.
On 02 Sept 2024 this version will retire and only New Invoicing will be available.
We are not able to select "send via Xero Network" from the New Invoicing option (using our Xero Network Key).
Are the technical teams still working on this to have the option available or will this option fall away?
Thank you

Hi Chantelle
As you’ve found, there’s no functionality in New Invoicing to use Xero to Xero invoicing, as this option is being retired.
However, you can raise a suggestion directly with our product team to suggest they implement this functionality in the New Invoicing functionalities, as they're still developing additions and improvements to New Invoicing.
I’ve included a link to Xero Product Ideas where you can view and support current ideas or create a new one to share your thoughts.

Kind regards

Hi community, we’ve been working hard to continue delivering valuable enhancements for our customers, and we know from your feedback being able to send via the Xero network from an invoice was important to how you invoice with Xero.
I’m pleased to share this feature is in the process of being released, currently with 50% of users we expect to have this in everyone’s hands soon.
Once available, when creating an invoice if you enter a Contact you’ve saved a Xero network key for you’ll see an option beneath the invoice appear ‘Send via Xero network’ (similar to when you send an eInvoice). As an addition, with the way we’ve rebuilt this feature you can now also include any attachments when sending the invoice. These'll be received on the draft bill created in your customers org! I’ll round back to confirm when this is live to everyone 🙂

Couldn't agree more, Rikka.
Very un-Xero-like that a new feature would be a backwards step.
Hope it gets rectified as a priority as it should never have been an issue in the first place.

I like the ability to send invoices directly to my client via the Xero Network. I thought this feature had disappeared but I figured out that it was only available if I clicked on 'switch to classic invoicing' first. I would like the ability to send invoices using the Xero Network in your 'New Invoicing' screen
