Hi team, as you may have noticed we've made a change to the Invoice Date and Due Date fields that now allows you to type in these fields rather than having to select a date from the calendar drop down. It does still require entering delimiters between day month and year such as a '.' or '/' (we understand there are a few situations when entering US date formats and are continuing to look into this).
We're working on also adding this functionality to the Payment date, and I'll keep you in the know of when this is made available, here.

Being unable to do things without using a mouse fails WCAG Criterion 2.1.1 and means that this part of the program fails at being Accessible - this needs to be escalated by emailing accessibility@xero.com

What's more, requiring mouse input means that this is not Accessible to anyone who doesn't use a mouse (for example, me both times I had wrist surgery. Or someone who uses a screen reader instead)

Hi community, thanks for on-going engagements with us about how you use the Xero network in this idea. As our team continue work on new invoicing, development for building the Xero Network within new invoicing is now underway, and we'll keep you updated of further news of this, here.
In the meantime, if you've set up Xero network for your contacts you can continue to send these through the Invoices awaiting payments list. As mentioned in my last updated we still strongly recommend exploring eInvoicing as a solution.

The costs in this invoice (partial invoice history attached) are costs I want to on-bill from a related entity using projects. The bill has not yet shown up in the related entity - note that it is over two hours after it was sent via e-invoicing - so I've had to create the invoice on-billing to the eventual client as if the bill had arrived, and I'll have to do a whole lot of mucking around to get it all connected in that related entity that I wouldn't have to do if Xero-to-Xero worked in New Invoicing. E-invoicing is great, but does not complete things in the timely manner that I NEED for inter-entity billing!

I send inter-entity invoices between related entities all the time - I sent two over an hour ago via e-invoicing because I'm not into the extra work required of the suggested workaround. I'd really like to be able to put them into a bill run tonight, but I can only do that if they arrive in the receiving Xero file before COB, and since that's in five minutes, I very much doubt they'll make it in time.
E-invoicing is not under Xero's control, so there's nothing Xero can do about any delays, except make it easy to use Xero-to-Xero again so I'm not wasting time waiting for inter-entity invoicing to arrive.

Seriously, see the attached screenshot for an example of the time delay with eInvoicing - right side is the invoice history in the sending entity, left side is the bill history in the receiving entity.
eInvoice sent at 4:17pm and received at 6:37pm, 2 hours and 20 minutes later.
I want to pay bills NOW, not after the banks close!

The biggest reason why I would like to still have Xero-to-Xero invoicing still available is that eInvoicing can take several hours to show up in the recipients draft bills. Not so bad when you're sending to unrelated entities, really really annoying when you're sending from one related entity to another, or from one client to another, and you'd like to log straight into the recipient datafile and enter the bill for payment that day.

I used to use Xero-to-Xero to get inter-entity invoices from one entity I deal with to another, related entity. I now _have_ to use e-invoicing. Where Xero-to-Xero was close to instant, e-invoicing takes all night for the invoice to arrive as a bill in the entity being invoiced, and that is waaaaaaay too slow to make the same day bill payment run. I'd like to pay those inter-entity invoices using an .aba file to reduce the possibility of typos; I'm not willing to wait a week until I'm doing the accounts payable for the related entities again.

I've gotten around this issue by setting up e-invoicing for all my clients that will let me, and sending those invoices I can by e-invoicing. But that doesn't work when sending to someone who hasn't gotten on board with that system yet, or with entities that can't use it (like international businesses and embassies)

Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback on the billable expenses window within new invoicing and trouble this can cause for currently assigning billable expenses. Our product team are exploring changes in this and we'll keep you updated of developments for this here.
As noted by some, you can currently scroll horizontally to view each column. If you have lots of items you may need to scroll to the bottom and then horizontally.

I'd also like to add: you can't scroll without using a mouse UNLESS you have tabbed in to the list, which is not something you'd do if you were scanning a list that is currently in the foreground. If you use the arrow keys on your keyboard to attempt to scroll the list that is in the foreground without having tabbed into the list, all it does is scroll the whole page. You can't tell that the keyboard interaction focus point is still on the background and not the window that just popped up. It's not meeting Accessibility requirements.

As an example of what the AI is currently suggesting to me, it seems to think that I'm purchasing "Wages Payable" from Costco.

I fully admit to being biased against generative AI (analytic AI often has a use when deployed well, generative AI doesn't have a brain and I'd rather use mine), but frankly, the suggestions from Xero AI are useless, to the point I can't tell if it's generative or analytic AI.

Thanks for sharing here, Kerri. Understand why you'd find this helpful and we'll start to get a sense from others that'd like to see this here, too.
I know it's a little different to what you're directly asking here, but perhaps comparison columns and saving as custom could help where you can run the report for multiple date ranges at once and view the comparison across each?

Thanks for your feedback, Jacqueline. We don't have immediate plans for being able to set a default bank account for payment on an invoice, but we'll start to track this here and I'll share if there's any plans made.

Thanks for raising your idea here, Carine. Can understand wanting a simpler option to add a credit card surcharge when adding a payment directly from the Bill.
Understand it's not the flow you're looking for here, but one option would be once the payment comes into your bank account you could use Find & Match to select the bill and in the second section you could use the Bank fee option for the surcharge like you mentioned.

@Scott Osburne you technically CAN tab through the fields in the payment pop-up, but to change the date, you have to press space or enter when the date field is highlighted, then tab several times to get to the grid of dates (with the mouse cursor NOT over the grid because if it's over the grid then tab exits the grid), use the arrow keys to find the one you want, then press enter or space (if you press tab it goes to the next field instead of changing the date) when you have the right one highlighted, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SHIFT-TAB BACK FOUR TIMES TO THE ACCOUNT FIELD because the focus has dissipated and both tab and shift-tab move the focus to the Add button instead of the focus moving in a logical order (WCAG success criterion 2.4.3 failure).
If you could enter the date instead of having to tab and arrow etc it would be significantly fewer keypresses, even without the focus order failure.
