New Invoicing - Change tabbing behaviour
Hey Xero, there seems to be a lot of issue and complaints about new invoicing. How about giving us all a break and re-enable the old invoicing till you get thing sorted out.
- Cant stop auto save , there is no undo button if you make a mistake.
- Tabbing between fields is not the same.
- Can't add expenses and leave them un-allocated to a GL, I know that the expense is @ cost price and needs to be completed. -Cant change the Customer with Billable expenses assigned without loosing the billable expenses and have to re-assign them
Cheers

Appreciate your feedback, Selwyn. We try to keep each idea separate so it's clear to others in community what they're adding their vote for, we can gauge the interest in a particular feature, and we can keep everyone updated of any development.
In relation to the points you've shared here we have an idea you may like to join around being able to switch off autosave, and another around the auto suggest feature that current fills in the account GL field for you and relates to your second point on leaving this blank.
Our team did make some changes to the flow of tabbing, so this should be more logical however it'd be good to get more detail on what's causing you issues when tabbing in new invoicing atm.
It might help to get a bit more detail about the billable expense scenario you're running into, too. In terms of billable expenses assigned to a customer - in how this is designed when you assign a billable expense this is allocated to either a contact or project. This is why it's not possible to change the contact of an invoice without first removing the billable expense items.

An example is we assign billable expenses to the customer and create a invoice.
They then ask us to change the company that is going to be billed and we can then open the invoice and change the person that we are invoicing , and at that Point the billable expenses are removed , so I may have to reopen 10-15 invoices and re-assign the expense to the new customer. very time consuming.
it didnt do this on the old invoicing.
Maybe it could ask to keep the assignable expenses before it just removes them.
