New Invoicing - Move Save button to bottom of invoice like classic

Please move the SAVE for the New invoicing to the bottom as per old invoicing. When you have an invoice with 30-50 items and then have to scroll back up to save it adds to the pressure of getting things done.

Or Better still

Leave the old there until you've got it together and your Paid subscribers are happy.
We are seriously looking at moving away from XERO due to all the changes you impose on us without proper UAT. More often than not it creates more work for us and causes more stress we just dont need in an already busy environment.

    This is another one of your new "features" that I just can't wrap my head around at all! I wish someone would explain the "pro" of having the "Save" button at the top? I realize if we don't speak up, we won't be heard, but Dear Lord - I am soooo busy that stopping to try to add my voice to this is consuming time I don't have. Especially when I fear no-one will even consider our thoughts and suggestions!! We've been using XERO since 2017 - I can assure you I have seen you ignore many requests and recommendations, the majority of the changes you have made do not positively affect my work flow but do the exact opposite - more key strokes, more scrolling, more tedious steps!

    We sometimes have to raise invoices with over 40 lines, the button at the bottom made all the sense... Your "upgrade" is the most counter-intuitive thing I've ever seen. All this "we can't support two invoicing layouts at the same time", simple. Don't. Develop the new one on a separate platform , beta test it and then tweak it before rolling it out. I'm not a developer and this makes sense to me. Might not be cost effective though... which I think is where the problem lies. This is beyond ridiculous, we are all asking, please put it back where it was and are being told blatantly, no.

  • Platypus Billing commented  ·   ·  Report

    Oh ... you are interested in hearing more!!!! Terrific ....
    How much time do you think your clients want to spend on Beta testing?
    You could hire people to do that.

    Today I am being forced again to use your 'new invoicing'.
    And I am being forced again to communicate to you about the things I've already brought forward.
    How many votes does it take?
    Do I have to run a campaign?

    I am trying to do my work which is not testing software.
    There is no benefit in having it on the top.
    The invoice is created, we are working top - down NOT down-top.
    So the button for further actions ought to be at the bottom, not at the top.
    I am not sure in which situation this would be different.

    I am flabbergasted by the nonchalence approach .... "please tell us one more time what you want". Again, you can do that with a focus group or something.

    I agree, put back at the bottom. The save and close is not helpful either as you then have to go back into the draft copy to approve and print the pdf and email.

    Surely the whole point of having this consultation is to listen to what your paying customers require from this application?

  • Pyroclassic Fires commented  ·   ·  Report

    We need this at the bottom. If you have 50 lines in an invoice, having to scroll all the way to the top to Save is a pain in the proverbial.

  • Michelle Poulton commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree, we have long invoices, and having to scroll back to the top each time is annoying and inefficient. Please move it back to the bottom, or have both top and bottom

  • Helena Dovey-Walker commented  ·   ·  Report

    Putting a save button at the bottom and the top would be very useful to save scrolling!

  • Tropical Waste commented  ·   ·  Report

    After all why would you listen to your paying customers???????The whole autosave function needs looking at - our Invoices are raised and then checked before sending by a second and sometimes third person who often have to edit/adjust.

  • Andrew Syme commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can someone please explain this request to me ?
    New Invoicing has Auto Save. So All changes are automatically saved unless there is no Contact. Xero will not save an Invoice without a contact.
    When does anyone intend to use the Save Button ?
    As for Save and Close, What point ? Just click on the Breadcrumbs to get back to Invoices.

  • Lee Clark commented  ·   ·  Report

    Scrolling all the way back to the top of the invoice to SAVE is time consuming, Would be more beneficial to have another SAVE & CLOSE button, at bottom of page. THANKS

  • Sarah Jacobs commented  ·   ·  Report

    Product development needs to focus on how efficient they have made the new screens. Unnecessary scrolling is inefficient. Please try to think of the user when developing positioning for placement of buttons.

  • Brooke Gowen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I 100% agree with having the save button at the bottom (I can't even find a 'SAVE' button by itself in the new invoicing.

    Now in the new invoicing I'm not 100% sure if it is saving - I just tested it quickly and it didn't save my last action. I would rather physically hit a save and continue button as this will be frustrating when doing multiple invoices.

  • Joelle Nebbe commented  ·   ·  Report

    How about then making that action bar at the top STICK to the top as you scroll down?

  • Annie Thorne commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's crazy that the buttons are at the top. Makes no sense at all.

  • Elizabeth Mpilias commented  ·   ·  Report

    Action buttons should remain at the bottom - it's still at the bottom in the Bills entry and having the button at the bottom is much more functional

  • Julia Berry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Efficient workflow involves going from top to bottom. There should not be any need to scroll back up again. Please ensure all "Save" or "Approve" options are at the bottom of the invoice.

  • Belinda Buckley commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would support you investigating putting the save buttons and approve and email buttons to the bottom of the invoice. We are a smaller business but have lots of items on our invoices for certain customers and this drives me crazy having to scroll back up, I feel for the businesses that have hundreds of invoices they have to do this for. I am sorry but it makes no sense at all to have them at the top! Please please reconsider this
