Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback with us here. We've been listening and taking this all into careful consideration. As you may have recently heard, we've made the decision to provide the same flexibility on payroll in AU and UK as you could before, as well as being able to process automated super payments for employees on all these business plans in Australia.
With these changes we'll be enabling payroll for 1 person on Ignite, and an additional for Grow (up to 2 people) similar to the Starter and Standard plans.
While we don't have a set date for this change yet you can read more on this through our blog post and we'll update you with more news when available through this idea. Thanks

I've moved to Smartly as it will work out slightly cheaper than moving to a higher plan, and they let you automate regular payroll, which will save a heap of time and stress.

Hi community, we really appreciate your feedback on this and hearing why you'd like to be able to change the organisation's name that's shown when sending invoices from Xero.
This is on our teams radar, and is something they may look into longer term however we want to be open that it's not in the current roadmap.
We'll continue to track and keep across the interest from our community, and if there's any news to share we'll update you on this, here.

Hi everyone, as another step toward improving history of new invoicing you'll find you'll now see an entry when an invoice is sent, and the email address it has been sent to.
We appreciate this is something we've heard a fair amount of feedback on and we hope helps in your journey to using new invoicing.
We still have more enhancements on the way for history and I'll be back again when more updates land.

The resolution only applies to adding the information to notes created going forward, there has been no effort from Xero to apply the fix retrospectively. I had an invoice that was 5 months overdue and which I knew wasn't sent to the main contact for the company so I raised a support request to get this information. They tried twice to tell me that as the invoice was created over 90 days ago they could not tell me who it was sent to. I used the fact that it said "email sent by Michael" and the fact that I am a person and so can request all information held by a company under the NZ Privacy Act - which has some quite serious case history against firms that don't provide, or haven't kept, information. This prompted them to find the address the email was sent to so I was able to chase the invoice through the company (helps if they know who dropped the ball). Also proved that Xero's "not possible" was able to be overcome with a little persistence. Meanwhile I'm sticking with old invoicing as I don't want to be in that situation again.

497 votesThanks for all your feedback here, everyone. The way you add description only lines in new invoicing is a little different to classic and we wanted to explain in hopes it'll help with how you're using new invoicing.
When entering a description only line, you can enter text in the description field of the line. If you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you will need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
When an inventory item is added this uses the item code field and the line is treated as 'financial', so it's not possible to use inventory items as description only lines in new invoicing atm.
We appreciate this is how many of you here have been making use of inventory and our product team are closely monitoring the feedback we're getting on this. Though we don't…An error occurred while saving the comment Michael Warwick

Thanks Kelly, good to know that part of the old functionality is still availble. So now three useful options exist for you at Xero, 1. allow that item code is not in itself financial, 2. add the ability to insert boilerplate text in another way, 3. allow old invoicing to continue indefinitely until new invoicing reaches equivalent functionality. If you want to stick with "no solid plans" then it would be good to announce that the removal of old invoicing will not be forced any time soon (i.e. option 3).

Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is looking into this idea however, they don't have any dates planned on when they’ll develop the ability to schedule emails.
Totally understand how this feature could benefit your workflow though, being able to schedule an email to send during acceptable hours, so you don’t have to remember!
Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

Also, as a small business a lot of my bookwork is done in evenings and on weekends, but I don't want clients to know when I am working, last thing I want is a phone call on Saturday afternoon because they know I'm working. Being able to load the invoices up for sending on Monday morning is much better and a standard feature on mail software now.

Hi community, we understand your needs in this feature and want to assure you were taking on board all your feedback.
As many of you accustom to this idea will know, multiple addresses requires a complex solution. It's been something we’ve been moving towards for some time and we’ve done a lot of back end work that will allow us to bring it to you in the future.
We have 12 different products within Xero that rely on contact data, as well as many of our app partners. This means that contacts need to seamlessly flow across technology, products and all connections on Xero. And that’s exactly what we’ve been working on.
One of the reasons we announced the retirement of classic invoicing is because many of the features being asked for, just can’t be brought into classic invoicing. The old technology has too many technology limitations to enable this.…

Thanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero.
Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience.
As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings.
Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

If in NZ look into Smartly, I've removed payroll from Xero and now am considering dropping down to the starter plan as I don't have many invoices each month. Also really enjoying the smartly experience, they handle the bank transfers to staff and IRD as well as the paperwork.
