Thanks for your comments and emphasis on the bills side of things for the idea here. I've made sure this is shared with our team in this space.
Bills is an area we're continuing to develop with building on beautiful and I'll be sure to let you know here if there's any consideration made to change behaviour of this through the bills add and edit flow.

I cant believe this is still not a standard function... the point of paying a premium for software is to run our business smoothly and make a profit.. up to date information should be paramount - XERO seem set on creating issues for users rather than solving them.. this is literally a NO BRAINER!!
Unless you manually record these then manually go in and update them, you are leaving money on the table every time you sell an inventory item.. margin mark up should also be an option to ensure you are always recouping your costs and margin.Jo Adams

Hi Mark, as cost price of items can change over time, if you often associate specific items you're selling to sales you make to your customers perhaps Billable expenses?
When you add the expenses to your customers invoice this will bring across the cost price of the items you've assigned.

That is the dumbest solution ever - if they are stock items you arent going to go out and buy some just so you can make a billable expense on the OFF chance they go ahead... Have you any practical experience in a real office?

Thanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.
You can continue to vote on this idea so if our position changes in the future we will update you all, here.

Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

How in the F do we look up pricing or back out of doing an invoice when the situation changes or all details are not at hand... then you end uop potentially billing it twice - this is the biggest **** up of an idea ever... pretty sure I voted against this when you first pushed the new invoicing on us ... i actually HATE this new invoicing with a passion.. ten years a user of XERO and I can say this is the bigges backward step i have ever seen

Agree - especially since you cant see missing stock.
New invoicing is so much harder to work with.. I am seriously condiering changing to quickbooks.. Been a XERO user for 10 years.Jo Adams

Hi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.
Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:
- what’s available in new invoicing right now,
- timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
- a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.
We'll be updating this page regularly.
Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

549 votesHi community, we appreciate the continued traction this idea's received, and do want to provide clarity and set expectation.
Your feedback has been valuable in understanding the needs of using description only lines to; add subheadings, provide context for grouped charges, and ensure your invoices are easy for your clients to read and understand.
To reconfirm, atm - You can add one-off description only lines as you enter an invoice. However, if you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you'll need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
- We know some users have set up and saved inventory items for description only lines they commonly use, however as the item code field is used for inventory items the line of the invoice is treated as 'financial' meaning you'll then need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax…

hey @xero - two years on and you still have not added this as a basic function.. everybody takes payetn upfront these days.. this is a bloody joke - we have to do adjustments all day due to the **** abilities of this overpriced software - 10 years a user and the functionality is NOT keeping up with business demands..
