New Invoicing - Keep Classic Invoicing
KEEP THE CLASSIC FORMAT FOR INVOICING
449 votesHi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.
Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:
- what’s available in new invoicing right now,
- timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
- a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.
We'll be updating this page regularly.
Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

New invoicing - Classic Invoicing to remain default invoicing
I do not like new invoicing, so I want to KEEP to original invoicing for as long as I possibly can Until End of Feb, without having to manually scroll down to the bottom of the page everytime I log in and manually select original invoicing every time.
17 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.
As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.
The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

Invoicing - Make the History & Notes the same as in Classic Invoicing
Please leave the history of an invoice EXACTLY as it was in the classic invoicing.
The new invoicing doesn't show the invoice that it was copied from or copied to and this is very important as a trail.
I really don't understand why so many important features from the classic invoicing has been omitted.
OR
let your customers continue using the classic invoicing as they like
725 votesHi everyone, as another step toward improving history of new invoicing you'll find you'll now see an entry when an invoice is sent, and the email address it has been sent to.
We appreciate this is something we've heard a fair amount of feedback on and we hope helps in your journey to using new invoicing.
We still have more enhancements on the way for history and I'll be back again when more updates land.

Invoicing - Add the 'unicorn' Easter egg to New Invoicing
On the classic invoicing, you could type 'I want to see a unicorn!' and this would appear across your screen for a brief moment however the classic invoicing is retiring soon so is it possible to add this also to the new Xero invoicing as well?
30 votesIt's really nice to see more light hearted ideas like this come through community from time to time. For anyone that was around when we first introduced the unicorn in classic invoicing there is probably some sentiment tied to seeing this inherited in new invoicing, too!
I'm happy to share that we have re-introduced the unicorn in new invoicing 🦄
Now, if you type 'unicorn!' in the Description field and tab or click across to the next field you'll see how we've added this little easter egg back into the mix. We hope to bring a smile back into your day as you're working in Xero 😁

Invoicing - Remember default settings
New Invoicing should be the same as the classic in that it remembers default settings for emailing like sending yourself a copy and attaching files. Until this is resolved do not discontinue the classic invoicing setup.
It's going to be very frustrating otherwise :)402 votesThanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero.
Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience.
As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings.
Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

E-Invoicing - Additional Tracking Categories for Malaysian E-Invoicing users
MY e-invoicing requires a tracking category in Xero. As we have clients which requires 2 tracking categories for their businesses, it is impossible to free up 1 tracking category for e-invoicing. Please look into this matter by considering adding a new tracking specific for e-invoicing.

New invoicing - Add lines button
New invoicing - bring back 'add new line' button and dropdown +5/+10...
This is an existing feature on classic invoicing, why would you drop it!478 votesHi community, we've now released a new line item grid within invoicing. There are a few changes that come with this release, with the most relevant for you here being the ability to manually add rows to your invoice.
While you can still tab through to create a new row, you'll also have the option to click the Add row button to manually add and move blank rows within your invoice.
I do want to note, that though you can move blank rows within your invoice, blank rows will be removed when you save the invoice (this is the same behaviour as classic). If you'd like to retain these rows once saved you'll just need to add a character within the Description field for example '.' or '|' will ensure the line is saved with the invoice.
We understand there is still some appetite for being able to add multiple…

New Invoicing - Add new Tracking option
The ability to add a tracking code from within the 'new invoicing' bills.
Classic invoicing has this ability and it would be excellent to have it in the new invoicing also.288 votesHi everyone, we've now released the ability to add a new tracking option within new invoicing to all customers!
Just like classic, you'll find using the option +Create new tracking opens a modal within the screen that allows you to easily add a new option for that tracking category on the fly.😊
Thanks again for all your feedback around this improvement and it's meaning to you here.

New Invoicing - Importing csv invoices
New Invoicing - Import invoices from csv file as can be done in Classic Invoicing screen
13 votesHi everyone, this is actually possible with no change between classic and new invoicing.
You can import new invoices through the Sales overview or Invoice page, and is done with the use of a CSV file. We have some steps you can follow across in Xero Central.

New invoicing | View contact address
Can the new invoicing template show address like the classic invoicing template does?
Classic invoicing - Shows company address and the person it is addressed to (Attention:) when viewing the invoicing from our end
New Invoice - Only shows the company name and to check if the address is correct and if the person it is addressed to is correct you have to click on Edit or download it as a pdf to verify it.
Example Snapshots attached.54 votesHi team, with our latest updates to new invoicing you're now able to see your contacts address if they have one saved when viewing the invoice.
Appreciate the question around being able to edit the address and to confirm - you'll find in view mode you can click on the contact to view the contact card. If you'd like to edit the address click the small link in the top right of the contact card. This'll pop the contact open in a separate browser tab where you can edit and add a billing and/or delivery address. 🙂

New invoicing - Edit exchange rate
It is currently not possible to change the exchange rate used in the new invoicing screen, when invoicing in a foreign currency. You have to switch back to classic invoicing to correct it to the monthly rate we have entered in settings.
108 votesHi team, we have recently released the ability to set the exchange rate within new invoicing for organisations that use multi-currency.
Just like classic, as soon as the invoice currency is changed to a currency other than the orgs base currency, the option to 'Set exchange rate' will appear which you can click to edit.
We know this is an important feature you've been waiting for in the new experience, and we're really keen for you to try it out and share any feedback you have back with us here. Thanks!

E-Invoicing - Setting the e-invoicing toggle button as default.
Could you please look at making the e-invoicing toggle button as default.
This will allow the invoices raised in Xero Practice Manager to be sent to Xero and then sent in Bulk (email multiple clients from awaiting payment) rather than selecting it manually. This will save a lot of time and also allow the other side to receive the invoice in their system.
Currently what it is doing is getting us to go into the invoice and then manually toggle this for clients we know are setup for e-invoicing. If this is handle automatically it will achieve…21 votes -
New invoicing - View full account name
New Invoicing: Auto adjust the account column width (or wrap text) so that the full account name can be seen when creating an invoice in New Invoicing. Currently users have to click on the account within each line to see the full account name. In Classic invoicing the account box automatically adjusts so that the full account name can be seen.
62 votesOur new line item grid is now available! Thanks for sharing and supporting this idea for being able to see the full detail of your Account.
With this release, all fields within the grid will wrap so if the contents spill over more than 1 line you can still read the full account within the field. Along with this, our product team have optimised padding, font size and column width to improve visibility and reduce the need to scroll when viewing your invoices.

New Invoicing - Invoice Contact Groups
Update new Invoicing to allow sending invoices to contact groups as you can in the classic invoicing. It's ridiculous that something so useful has been left behind in the switch to the new style. I need to be able to amend the invoices I send out based on the individual needs of the group. It saves so much time to be able to create a default set of drafts that I can amend rather than having to go to each individual and create an individual invoice within that group. Please guys, piull this across!
52 votesThanks for getting involved and sharing your interest for contact group invoicing, everyone. Our latest updated for new invoicing means you can now create a new invoice for a contact group! 😊
If you've still be using classic invoicing, switch to the new version first through the banner at the top, or link at the bottom of any invoice.
Next time, you create an invoice for a Contact group you'll be taken to enter the details for your group invoice, in new invoicing. We appreciate all your input and feedback through the idea here.

E-Invoicing - PEPPOL Compliance
Ability to send invoices through PEPPOL network.
Purpose: To comply with the European standard of e-invoicing and e-ordering. Especially for those who deal with the public sector.
23 votesHi everyone, along with AU and NZ it is now possible to send approved invoices electronically through the Peppol network in the UK. 😊
We'll shift the idea back to submitted again with other regions interested in this feature and will let you know if there are any further plans made around this.
For those interested in the ability to bulk send eInvoices - we have a separate idea for this that you can join and follow.

Invoicing - Add Payment details on invoice screen
When using the new style of invoicing, it is no longer possible to enter a customer payment which having to click on the receive payment option. Using classic invoicing, the fields to enter the payment are present on the invoice screen. The classic invoicing method is much more efficient when entering a large number of customer invoices, so it would be great if these fields could be added to the invoice screen on the new style.
338 votesHi everyone, to front foot some of the recent comments we will not be bringing back classic invoicing. With developments continuing within new invoicing, we do want to let you know that our product teams are highly engaged with your feedback and the ideas for new invoicing on the site.
We understand there's good interest in being able to add a payment directly from the invoice screen and appreciate the efficiencies expressed by customers in being able to do this. At present we're reviewing this feature and will move the idea across to Under Review. I'll be back to share more on the outcomes. Thanks

New Invoicing - Ability to copy invoice to a quote
In Classic Invoicing, you could copy an invoice to all sorts of things: Invoice, Quote, Purchase Order, Bill. See first screenshot.
In New Invoicing, you can only copy an invoice to another draft invoice. See second screenshot.
Please can you replicate the 'Copy invoice to a quote' functionality in New Invoicing?59 votesHi everyone, coming back to share that this is now live. You'll find within the 3 dot menu of new invoicing there is now the option to 'Copy to draft quote' 😊Thanks again for your engagement here.
If you're also interested in the other 'copy to' options, join and follow updates for these through the ideas below.

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 ChantelleAs you’ve found, there’s no functionality in New Invoicing…
202 votesHi community, thanks for on-going engagements with us about how you use the Xero network in this idea. As our team continue work on new invoicing, development for building the Xero Network within new invoicing is now underway, and we'll keep you updated of further news of this, here.
In the meantime, if you've set up Xero network for your contacts you can continue to send these through the Invoices awaiting payments list. As mentioned in my last updated we still strongly recommend exploring eInvoicing as a solution.

New invoicing - Option to leave date field blank like classic invoicing
In New Invoicing can the Date field be left blank when in draft status as per previously. Regularly I create draft invoices and want to continue to be able to leave the date blank or to put tentative dates in before moving forwards int he process.

New Invoicing - Hide detailed summary on email
The new invoicing email sends a detailed summary of the invoice as part of the email. We would like the option to opt out for this like the old email template. We like to breakdown our invoicing internally for reporting purposes but the client does not need a breakdown of line items, just a total. We use custom invoicing templates so that we dont show line by line breakdown and the new email overrides this. Please do not switch off the old invoicing module until this is fixed. Downloading an invoice and sending it through my emails is time consuming…
159 votesHi everyone, we appreciate all the attention this idea has received and while I know this has been mentioned by others earlier in the conversation we wanted to confirm it is currently possible to remove the detailed summary from showing within the invoice email.
This is controlled within Email settings and updating your email templates for sales invoice.
If you open your template you'll see an option for 'Include action to online invoice and detailed summary'.
Having checked in with our team we have no plans for changing this flow in the short term, however this is a one time action so once you uncheck and save the template you'll find this removes this formatting from any invoices you send with the template applied.
