New Invoicing - Calendar lookup to select Issue Date
When selecting the date, why only have today and tomorrow, not the calendar. A lot of the time when entering an invoice, it will be dated to a previous day. Why not have the calendar and these options? Or have yesterday as an option.
So far, this new invoicing is a mess and definitely doesn't make life easier. Improvements are needed.
5 votesHi community, appreciate things are a little different between classic invoicing and new. While we've created common date selections when entering dates using new invoicing you can still pick any date you need.
From the date field, under Today and Tomorrow, is 'Pick another date', clicking this will open a calendar popup so you can select the date you need. You may also find some of our date entry shortcuts useful when entering this information in Xero.

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 | History & Notes - Show email sent to
Can the new invoicing template show the address like the old templates used? Now if you go into edit the addresses have disappeared and to check if it is correct you have to click on the contact and fix it in a new tab.
Also the notes section has removed the time stamps and the email address the invoices get sent to. Can the new invoicing have the same notes and history function as the old one.118 votesHi team, I can confirm we have released another update for the history of new invoicing where now you'll see an entry when the invoice is sent and the email address it has been sent to. 🎉
We appreciate the interest we've seen around this. We still have a few more pieces of work we're doing around the history in new invoicing and you can stay updated on this progression on this idea.

Export Invoices
Be able to export draft invoices to Excel, also to be able to add columns eg VAT (or tracking categories or nominal codes) to the report view
1 voteHi Tamara, this is already possible. From the Drafts tab just click the Export button. This'll download a CSV file that you can open in Excel.
If you've set up and are using Tracking in your invoices there are also columns for these, as well as VAT.

Draft invoice save prompt
Add a prompt to save a draft of an invoice when leaving the invoice screen to add or change a contact or address or check something.
1 voteAah perfect sound like new invoicing is the solution for you here then, Kevin. As mentioned from a draft invoice as soon as you add a contact Xero will begin autosaving any data you enter.

New invoicing - Add project
To be able to add projects within new sales invoice like you can in classic invoicing
1 voteHi Debbie, we'll move this across to delivered as mentioned in my last update it is possible to assign items of your invoice to Projects you've set up.
If you're not seeing this column by default, you can click the 'Show/hide fields' button to add this to the grid view.
If you've set up tracking for your projects and are interested in being able to add a new tracking category while invoicing we have a different idea for this across here that you can join for updates.

Ability to add photos or external files to invoice emails. Common need in construction
1 voteHi Lee, this is already possible. You can attach files to the invoice, and you'll just need to select to include the file when sending the invoice. We have some help on this here.

Hi team, the option to add a % discount to line items of an invoice is available via the Xero Accounting app, on both Android and iOS devices. You'll find this from the menu in the top left (3 dots for Android, and 'Options' on iOS). 😊

New Invoicing - Show combined Account Code and Name
On the Edit page
Please can you display the combined chart of accounts account code with the CoA description in the account column as you do on in the classic view, rather than us needing to click on the description that shows in the column, so the account code then also shows.
We use three brands which use the same numbers for the same services but then add two alpha to show the brand: 200AA, 200BB, 200CC etc. and because of the display in the classic invoice edit view to help the double-checking before sending the invoice we check the…
4 votesThanks for the screenshots and feedback here. We've made a lot of changes to new invoicing since first announcing the retirement of classic invoicing. You'll find you can now view both the Account code and Account Name in the Account column when editing your invoices.

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!

Real Invoice Templates
Ability to create an invoice template that saves the line items, e.g description, quantity etc
Instead of having to manually enter the same description for each new invoice created, just save it as a template. Not just as a branding template.3 votesHi everyone, as shared earlier here if you have common inventory and services you trade, you can add these as items to your Products and services.
You can reduce the time spent by using the Item column when invoicing to find and select the items you've saved.
If you're looking to add 'description' only lines we're looking into this with new invoicing and you can follow updates for this across on this idea.

New Invoicing - Populate Tracking column from settings in contact's Sales Defaults
Hi, the new version of invoicing will increase my work load. at present when you open an invoice to approve it, it is easy to select the tracking categories, as it is linked to the client profile. in the new version it does not and you have to go through the list in a drop down!
Also we have an issue when we change the invoice date. for example and Invoice raised on the 5th Feb should be paid on the 6th March. If we change the invoice date from the 5th to the 4th, it does not change the…
3 votesThanks for your feedback on the idea here, with the way new invoicing works once you add a contact, any sales defaults saved for that contact in their record will be applied.
Adding a Qty or Price for a line will trigger Tracking defaults saved for them to be automatically applied. Similarly this applies to the any default saved for Due Date. If you have saved a due date that is driven by the invoice Issue date you should see this update if you change the Issue date on the invoice.
If this is not behaviour that you're experiencing please do raise a case with our team of specialists so we can take a closer look into this with you.

New invoicing - Ability to add email to contact within invoice
There are some new features that I like about the new invoicing, like the ability to immediately a new contact. However this is limited to name and billing address, please add the ability to add email address here too!!!
Other classic features that need to be included so I can use the new invoicing:
- the ability to delete the Date and Due Date for a draft invoice. I draft invoices for the entire duration of a project once a contract is signed. The dates are not known at this preliminary stage however it is hugely beneficial to have this…3 votesHi everyone, we have now made a change to the Contact card in new invoicing which allows you to enter more contact details from the invoice screen.
You'll find you can both add details for a new contact as well as edit an existing contact. The fields available from the Contact card include Contact name, Email, Billing address, the option to add a Delivery address, and phone number 😊
Cairns, I know there are a couple of other ideas you've mentioned in your initial post here too. While we'll mark this idea as delivered for the primary request you may also like to join these ones below for any updates.

Send invoice - Remove details of invoice from email
I really don't want the details of the invoice to be in the body of the email. It looks ridiculous and some of it could be private. Please change it back or tell me how to change it. I really hate it in it's current format.
2 votesHi Teresa, this is actually possible already.
From the Email Settings you can select the Sales invoice template and you'l just want to deselect the 'Include action to online invoice and detail summary' then Save.
I do want to note, this does strip back the email formatting so you might like to send yourself a copy to see what this then looks like once the option has been disabled. Thanks

Invoicing - See gross profit
When a sales invoice is created, there should be a place where i can see what is the gross profit. If not, I would have to go back and forth between the inventory module and the sales invoice module to maunally calculate.
1 voteHi team, as previously shared you can run the Receivable Invoice Summary or Details reports where you can select to include a Gross column.

New invoicing - Send einvoice
The new invoicing will not allow e-invoicing without an ABN attached which defeats the purpose . Bring back the classic invoicing.
2 votesHi team, returning to switch this idea across to delivered. While Xero does require a customer to be registered and have an ABN. EInvoicing is available within new invoicing. You can find more information on this here.

New Invoicing - Receive payment for an invoice before sending it
Immediately after creating an invoice, you approve it, then a series of boxes appears at the bottom of the screen allowing you to receive the payment. Once payment is applied you can send the receipt to the customer. This is ESSENTIAL for accepting cash payments or any payment made at the time of delivery but before sending the invoice. Please add this feature from OLD invoicing to New invoicing.
3 votesHi Fiona, it's not necessary to send an invoice before adding a payment. Once an invoice is created in new invoicing the default option is 'approve and send' but 'approve' can be selected instead. A payment can then be added and receipt sent, with a similar workflow to classic invoicing.
Atm there's no way to set the default approve option for an invoice. However, this has been raised as an idea across here if you'd like to add your vote. 🙂

Sales invoice | Email - Insert Invoice Link at Cursor
When emailing an invoice to a customer there is an option to insert a link to the invoice. However the link is always placed at the end of the message and I have to cut and paste it where I want it in the message.
Could the link not be inserted where the active cursor is instead? Saving the user the hassle of moving the link.
See mock up.
2 votesHi community, with the improved send experience in new invoicing you'll find this is now possible.
When you add the Online Invoice link through placeholders, you'll see it is automatically inserted wherever the cursor is placed in the email on the left and you can get an instant visual of what this looks like to your customer on the right. 😊

Credit Note
Classic invoicing feature missing from new invoicing format
Some of our clients like to prepay so there are often credits to use. Upon approving an invoice, the classic used to say there was a credit available on that contact, click here to use it. There is no such feature on the new invoicing to indicate there is a credit available you have to go and manually check. As well as not informing you of an available credit, if you look at the new approved invoice there is no way apply an existing credit (only to create and apply a new…
1 voteHi Claire, when you approve an invoice for a customer that has available credit, you'll receive a prompt. If you choose to 'Skip for now', you should see an option to 'Apply credit' on the approved invoice. I've attached a screenshot of these in new invoicing.
If you're not seeing either of these options, I'd suggest double checking the name of the contact the credit note has been created for, and raising a case with our specialists at support to take a deeper look into things with you.

New invoicing - Exclude customer information
Please allow a customers unique name and number pasted into the "to" box, be the only customer information required to continue filling out the invoice.
My continued use of Xero depends on this action to stay as it is.
Some users will not want to use Xero invoicing other than to use it as a debtors ledger and GST etc manager.
In our case, we paste the name and number in the TO field, the only " item " we sell is one invoice worth our invoice total. The invoice number and reference holds our real invoice number.
It is…1 voteHi everyone, to confirm for anyone coming across the idea here. In new invoicing the contact card will open so you can add more details of a new contact. However, the name is the only field required, so you can simply enter the name and then click Save to continue on. 🙂
