new invoicing
Invoicing - I am a massive user of Xero. Managing 3 businesses & work very long hours on Xero. Yes I despise with a passion the new & improved invoicing. It's clunky, clumsy & slow. It has removed all of my shortcuts.........regardless, I'm guessing no one in Xero care. Is there somehow you can make it more compact, it's so large & some of the smaller monitor screens it doesn't seem to fit the display area very well. Luckily one of the businesses I work for are software engineers & have offered to make addons for me to make my life easier. EG our invoicing legally requires to show billing date periods in the description or somewhere. I cannot create a recurring invoice to provide this information. For a business that is rapidly growing, it would not be feasible to continue to use Xero for invoicing if this cannot be provided.

Hi 👋, sorry to hear the challenges you face with new invoicing. I can guarantee you we care, and we've been constantly sharing feedback from our community with product teams directly as they continue to build on this experience.
In terms of the compactness - this is something we heard feedback on. While we can't make everything the same as it was in classic, over the past couple of months our product team have released changes to new invoicing to reduce padding, text size, column widths and make smaller changes to the placement of actions and buttons based on user feedback. We don't have intentions of making further changes around this, however another option you could explore would be your browser ad monitor setting to maximise the content you see on your screen at once.
In terms of the repeat invoice with a billing period that you mentioned - perhaps placeholders could be used to help insert the dates of the period that you need to bill for in the Description field and save you having to manually enter this each month?
