Enter your idea

This is a good idea, but there are several possible solutions.
We could have two Save buttons — one at the top and one at the bottom —
or include a 'Jump to Top' button at the bottom of the page for longer invoices.
This would allow the Save button to remain at the top while still being easily accessible.

What about the size of new invoicing on the screen - way too large for the screen when I'm creating invoices with a lot of lines - is this 'issue' also under review as I note that the majority of users also find this unhelpful and it requires a lot of scrolling around to check/save .....

Hooray!
How about adding a prompt to avoid entries being lost: 'Do you want to save' - before leaving or closing that window. That would be so helpful!

100% in support of this

Agreed - this placement has also led to draft invoices being sent to customer before completed. Also if not super careful when scrolling all the way to the top on a long invoice when using an iPad, it can inadvertently go ‘back’ to previous screen, losing work.

Agreed, especially since they've spread it out so much more, it only takes a few lines & suddenly you're constantly needing to scroll.

Couldn't agree more! Having to scroll back up to the top of a screen is madness. Even adding a new customer while processing an invoice has the Save button at the top of the screen, it makes no sense

We've been telling you for months new invoicing isn't working on a practical level for those of use that pay for your software. Why is no one listening ? Why not dump new invoicing as a bad decision or keep classic invoicing at least as an option.

Going back to the top to approve an invoice is not efficient.
Additionally, the first option you have is "Approve & email", maybe it's just me but normally I only need to approve an invoice so now with the new invoicing I have to click on the arrow to approve.
Sorry but most of the changes are more time consuming not an improvement to the old invoicing.

Corinne,

you are right, new invoicing is extremely slow for everyone! We all complaint about it. We think that it is due to the autosave function.

You can look at this discussion.

In general, I prefer to work from left to right and from top to bottom. Having to back-track, up to the top, to save, is a time waster, and it really isn't convenient. Furthermore, I find that the new invoicing layout, on my computer screen, at least, still has me moving back and forth, across the screen. On my screen, the classic invoicing has everything in a logical order, in one row, from left to right, across the top. I can see several rows at a time, and I have a good idea of how the invoice will look by the time I complete my entries and save it. I find the new invoicing requires me to go back and forth, and then I don't really see the whole thing until I go all the way back to the top to save it. This is tedious! Finally, is it just me, or does this load and save really slowly compared with the old invoicing? I keep trying it, but I still hate it. For me, nothing is an improvement over the classic version, and there are lots of downsides.

Agree - the flow of the classic version makes more senses. You review all your line items and at the end you Save or Approve your invoice. Going all the way back to the top to Approve an invoice it's not practical when you have 50-60 lines on your invoice. Or at least, the top panel where the Approve button is should be freeze, then we don't need to move all the way back up.

Also, can we just have the "Approve" button like in the classic version. This is more useful than the "Approve and email" button.

I would be interesting in having a button at the top and at the bottom. Sometimes we have long invoices, which are made longer by the large spaced rows, and it takes ages to get back to the top of the page. And I like to confirm the total at the bottom before hitting approve, so that's plenty of back and forth if I don't have my caffeine.

Not a new idea but your support tells me to post it here.
Can we please have the green approve button at the bottom of an invoice back?
Green = go
At the bottom because that is where the eyes rest after checking
NOT combined with emailing or anything else as they are different processes done by different people.
So the new idea is basically to revert this back to how this worked in the old invoicing which had it right on all accounts (intuitive, neat, procedurally correct and efficient).

I would love the approve and print the same as the old system, clients are making mistakes of 'approve & send' and they don't mean to ....
approve and print is great option, and with the older version you could then e/mail after printing, its great for proofing of typing errors for them as well....

Another time wasting feature of your new system. Is it not just common sense, intuitive, logical, to put the SAVE button at the bottom of the area you're entering information into??

Have the product development team actually sat down and created an 80 line invoice?
My guess is not.
Because if they did, they would understand how counter intuitive it is to have to scroll all the way up to save or approve an invoice (don't get me started on the two steps of clicks to approve because I'm one of the 'minority' who doesn't want to 'approve and email').

Please please move it back to where it was perfectly fine, at the bottom of the invoice.

Much more efficient at the bottom of the invoice.

As yet another customer with long invoices, please put it at the bottom.

Can I ask why Xero thought the new sales format works and looks better. It does not flow with dataentry. You have moved the save/update button to top of screen which means when a business now starts to enter a draft sale and it has a number of lines you have to now scroll to the top of the page where as before it appeared close to your last entry line. The font is now larger which I personally find takes up more of the screen so you have to change formats all the time. Can we please have the option to continue to use the old format or at least change where the save/update button is to appear.
