New invoicing - Assign next number in sequence when number removed
We bulk upload invoices in advance with "Draft" invoice numbers as we don't know their ultimate sequence for issue. We then assign a chronological invoice number when the invoice is approved and/or saved. In "Classic" invoicing, if I delete the invoice number it automatically assigned the next number in sequence e.g. #INV-0089, however in "New" invoicing if I delete the invoice number is warns me that I need a number and reverts to the original "Draft" number" and not the next chronological number in sequence. This is a significant backward step in functionality, can you confirm this bug will be solve before Classic Invoicing is retired. Thank you. Rene

We use a booking system, and it automatically sends an invoice to Xero using a booking reference number (BRN.....) that is put into the Invoice number field. In the old invoicing system, I would delete this booking number, and then it would add the next invoice number automatically, but now it comes up with, "There must be an invoice number" and it puts back the booking reference in the invoice and I cannot change this. I agree this is a backward step and needs to be corrected before Classic invoicing is no longer available. Or retain Classic invoicing as am finding other issues as we..
