Surely this auto-save bug/oversight in new invoicing is going to be fixed before 27-Feb??!!??
I had assumed the outright hatred of this was the reason new invoicing was delayed from Dec 2024, but didn't see it mentioned in an update email today...
Every time I copy an invoice without changing to classic first it causes issues and drives me crazy with lost time having to re-draft again.

I have just read the comments re auto-save for quotes and agree with them - for quotes. Quotes are complicated and take a lot more time to put together - often spread over hours of consideration (what will my competitors quote, what's the customer's budget, what are the costs etc).
As anyone who has worked in a SB one would know, small businesses work very different with quotes than they do with invoices.
Invoicing is quite different, often copied from a a quote (hence double ups, thanks to the auto save functioning), take less time and if not copied from a quote, they are most often for us either repeat invoices or copy from last month's invoice with minor changes to text. Often a different person is doing the quotes versus invoicing at the completion of work or for a step payment invoice.
Invoicing and quoting are very different scenarios.

Any chance this will be fixed (ie a no autosave option) before it's forced on us in 20 days' time.
Doing end of month invoicing now and autosave is frustrating & screwing things up. Resorting to Classic for October but November...?Mike Johnston

So many unwanted blank or half invoices are being created and throwing off the invoice numbering - need to either be able to turn this off or have it not save when exiting.

There must be another request for this somewhere as I voted for this several years ago...
Please add this - every invoice that we email we have to copy the subtotal from the invoice and paste it into the email followed by the text "+GST" (used to have this text as standard until forgetting the copy-and-paste led to complaints). We do this as customers have an ex-GST in their expectations and react badly when they get the standard GST-included email.
New invoicing emailing makes it easier, as can review the invoice to get the subtotal, but it's still extra work, something to remember and an opportunity for errors. How difficult is it to add an email placeholder from an invoice field? -

Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I’m pleased to let you know that this has been delivered for UK Payroll initially! It includes the ability to select the date range you’re interested in, and check boxes to either select all results or multiple. Then you can download your selection as a single PDF of multiple payslips.
For users in AU and NZ we know this is a highly anticipated feature, however to be open this is not any immediate plans for those teams so we’ll leave this idea open. While we appreciate it doesn’t help employers needing bulk downloads, employees can be invited into the Xero Me portal to self-serve payslip collection.

Have customers complaining that some invoices are doubled-up this month. One could claim user error, but it shouldn't be this easy for my team to make mistakes. The real cause... autosave creating copies of previous month's invoices, which someone then sent in the end of the month rush. One has been voided as it was clearly an error, creating more problems, which wouldn't have happened if a) autosave had been off and/or b) the classic had stayed on overnight. Now talking to my accountant about moving our 4 businesses off Xero - March/April would be the best timing after all.
