Hi community, we’ve been working hard to continue delivering valuable enhancements for our customers, and we know from your feedback being able to send via the Xero network from an invoice was important to how you invoice with Xero.
I’m pleased to share this feature is in the process of being released, currently with 50% of users we expect to have this in everyone’s hands soon.
Once available, when creating an invoice if you enter a Contact you’ve saved a Xero network key for you’ll see an option beneath the invoice appear ‘Send via Xero network’ (similar to when you send an eInvoice). As an addition, with the way we’ve rebuilt this feature you can now also include any attachments when sending the invoice. These'll be received on the draft bill created in your customers org! I’ll round back to confirm when this is live to everyone 🙂

Once again Xero proving that the developers/ community managers aren't actually users of the system. The Xero network sending option was great for sending intercompany transactions, and should be reinstated in the new invoicing as the alternative is terrible. Pushing these changes out and removing functionality for an "improvement" is the sort of decision that frustrates long time users and makes the product worse, and the fact they don't seem to realise or care is more proof they are getting further out of touch with actual users.
Another basic function that most other accounting softwares accommodate. Most people cant be bothered googling the exact phrasing to find these forums where they can vote, so the fact there are 160 people who feel compelled enough to do this suggests its a useful feature. That and the fact that this idea was shared over 10 years ago. What they are really telling us is they dont care about actual users anymore, there are literally hundreds of basic functions they continually ignore. It cannot be that hard for a team of professional software engineers to add a button that approves repeating invoices early!
