Appreciate your feedback on how you'd like to see new invoicing improved to create more efficiency processing sales with Xero. There are a couple of different requests around defaults looped into this one idea that would be good to unpick and keep separate so we can keep you updated on any progress for each individually.
For interest around being able to set a default for the 'Approve and Send' button - There's an idea that's been started for this here that I'd recommend joining.
Kathy, your recent comment sounds more like the ability to be able to send invoices to a contact group with new invoicing - we totally get the interest in this too and have an idea for this here that you can follow.
Taking on board feedback we have made a change with the new send experience so now, selections for 'Include PDF of invoice' and 'Send…

Hi everyone, some time on since my last update I wanted to give you more of an idea of the work we have going on to help reduce the number of steps and actions in new invoicing. Along with the changes mentioned in my last update, we've since released a change to the view of an invoice to shift details back into their own columns (similar to classic), while a small change we know it's improved visibility for some of our customers.
We also have other work in development atm that’ll further help here like a new line item grid when editing your invoice - wrapped up in this we’ll be introducing changes you’ve been asking for like the ability to create a new tracking option or account code without having to navigate away from the invoice, we’re increasing the number of items that you can view from the drop…

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback on this here. Through testing we found that majority of our customers would Approve and email an invoice at once, which is why this was developed as the default in new invoicing. That said we appreciate others would like a different action as their primary option.
While we don't have direct plans for adding the ability to set a default for this action, we're listening to your feedback and looking into how we can improve efficiency and speed things up for you when using new invoicing through the use of keyboard shortcuts. We'll share more news when we've confirmed what this shortcut looks like and are closer to providing this to you all.

100% we need to be able to just have an approve button or allow what the default button does. Also should be at the bottom of the screen as you are currently clicking all over the place, its no longer a natural flow.

Hi team, while we don't have immediate plans to change the placement of buttons on new invoicing we're interested in staying close to this feedback and I'll move the idea to Under review for the time being. We'll return to confirm any outcomes.

Agree. The number of steps and clicks has increased dramatically, leading to processing an invoice taking 4 times longer than the classic view. Pop-ups are extensive and unnecessary.
I use Xero to enter transactions from another system, I, therefore, need to look at the attached file in side by side view to transpose the information into the invoice. We are basically using Xero as accounting software only not POS. At present, you can not start a new invoice from the file library it simply will not attach. If you then create a new invoice you must first enter a customer before being able to attach a document, it also seems to take one click on the attach file button then it waits for 5 seconds or another click until the library button appears, after it has loaded click to view the document in side view, and finally at the end click the dropdown button of approve and email to simply get approve as I don't need to email the invoice. Plus this button is at the top which is illogical and not consistent with another areas of xero.
In the previous classic view you could start a new invoice from the file library, it would automatically display side by side, I could then transpose the data straight into Xero as I can see the original document and I could just simply tab the entire way through the process (approx 10 second per invoice). Now it takes approx 30-40 seconds to enter an invoice, having to remove my hands to/from the mouse/keyboard approx 6 times instead of once.
Another bug is that if you type in part of the customer details and hit the tab slightly before it finds the customer it will automatically create a new customer, so far I have made around 5 new customers (in around 10 invoices) which I then have to go and merge, archive. The old classic view would only save an incorrect customer once you hit approve.
Finally, can we turn off automatic draft save... it's bloody annoying. Theres a save draft button there for a reason.
