Invoicing - Increase the number of billable expenses shown on the selection screen
Xero decided to limit the number of billable expenses one can view at a time when invoicing to 10, as was explained to me, because some organizations have a large number of billable expenses and it taxes the system and slows down the process of invoicing if more than 10 show. The exact opposite effect happens, however. Now, one has to page through dozens of windows to find the billable expense, instead of simply scrolling through 100+ bills. Even worse, there is no way to sort the bills, so the target of the invoice may be on page 36 taking 3 minutes to find. This is awful. At the very least, like in other areas of the program, this should be selectable (10, 25, 50, 100, 200). It should be sortable. Blaming it on the programs inefficient way of handling should not be an excuse to remove this essential feature. It didn't work perfect before (date column missing, horizontal scroll bar needed to see all columns, etc), but it was still better than having to page through all the bills. Please provide a pagination option or revert back to the vertical scroll!

shared this idea
Hey Scott, really appreciate your feedback on our update here. We want to be transparent that the change to billable expenses in invoicing was something that we implemented due to lots of feedback that we received, and we don't have intentions on returning to the previous behaviour. On review, we first marked this as feedback based on it being a removal of a new feature, however we will shift this to Not in Pipeline to set expectation.
This means other members will still be able to vote on this idea, and we can track if this is still an idea that trends.
