Hi everyone, we appreciate your input on being able to add new tracking options while invoicing and our team are looking into improvements that could be made to this flow in new invoicing. I'll keep you looped in on any change for this here.

Thanks 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…Jim Morris

Hi community, we've released our first update to history and notes of new invoicing, where you can now view more detail of changes such as where an issue or due date has been altered or the amount of your invoice is changed. There's more improvements for this space coming soon and I'll keep you up to date with these, here.

Hey community, just a quick update to let you know the team are currently working on the ability to show the email address that an invoice was sent to, in the History & Notes! We'll pop back to confirm it's been delivered in the next few months 😊
As Kelly mentioned in our last update, viewing the timestamp of history items on an invoice is a separate idea started across here. And, it looks like a separate idea has been raised for the last part of this original idea New invoicing | View contact address. Feel free to add your vote to those ✅ if they're changes you'd like to see.

Hi all, thanks for feeding back on the ways you work with invoicing and what you'd like to see with new invoicing in Xero.
Our team are reviewing the flow when copying an invoice and having the contact name automatically populate.
In the way this currently works, once you add a contact to the new(copied) invoice any defaults you've applied to a contacts record will then be applied to the invoice. This flow of default application is something the team will consider as part of their review and what works best for majority of users.

That is wonderful Caryn, IF the employee has submitted them to begin with. We want to be able to see the timesheets and edit them while they are still in draft and be able to submit them ourselves if the employee has not. I should not have to hassle an employee on a Sunday night or, on a Monday morning, find myself and the entire pay run held up because one person has not hit the submit button. Xero is making this unnecessarily difficult by not making a simple function available, all the while introducing stuff none of us want (new reports and invoicing) and jacking up the monthly subs.

Every time someone comes across this it gets support. Obviously, there is a perceived need in your userbase for this functionality. WTH is stopping you @xero?

@daniel Yep, totally. Xero's "solution/workaround" is to manually do their payslip...which, of course, totally ignores our own record-keeping requirements.
I guess they don't care as long as we keep paying their ever increasing subs...

The only time they comment is to offer up useless suggestions, totally miss the point of what we are asking for or to tell us to make a (this) suggestion in the ideas/feedback forum for new or additional features...
The most infuriating part is that they don't have to add anything! All the necessary systems are already in place and they just need to turn on the right switch so we can see draft timesheets!

I'm normally all for automating things but, in this instance, it could potentially cause more issues than it solves.
The main solve here is easy - Xero giving us, payroll managers and owners, the ability to see and edit draft timesheets...It's been an ongoing request/issue for literal years now and, given the recent sub increase (now $99/month), I think this is the least they can do.
If I'm going to have to pay more each month, I'd much rather have added functionality rather than pretty accounting reports that I don't even use in the first place!

Yeah, not happy to fix such a simple problem that would alleviate so much hassle for us...but certainly happy enough to up the price again (to nearly $100/month now for a Premium 10 sub!).
If I even used much of the vaunted added functionality they've put into Xero, I wouldn't be so annoyed...but I simply don't use much more than I did when we got it nearly 9 years ago - which, incidentally, has been the length of time this issue has been a thorn in my side!

Nope, sorry Renee, that still misses the whole point of what we are trying to achieve. As the owner/payroll manager, I should not need to wait for the employee to press submit in the first place. I also should not need them to resubmit if it needs to be reverted. I should be able to see the draft, edit the draft and submit it for them if necessary.

We want to be able to open and complete the employees timesheet, if it has already been started. I have enough to do without starting again from scratch what the employee may have already done but just not clicked the submit button.
It is idiotic that, as the owner and payroll manager, that I cannot see an employee's draft timesheets.
We have been asking for this sort of functionality for years! Xero keeps ignoring us or offering up completely useless alternatives because they don't appear to understand what it is like being the business owner/pay roll admin...ironic, isn't it?

Moving along with the project, our team are now in the process of developing a new send modal that'll enable you to cc and Bcc when using the new invoicing experience. 😊
We're not too far off with this work and I'll continue to keep you updated on news for this, here!

Sorry but, No, I'm not going to send it to myself just so I can do more workaround rubbish to BCC it to other people.
I'm glad being able to add additional addresses into the To field solves the problem for some folks but, I do enough pointless, unpaid work without Xero's lack of basic functionality creating more for me.
To, CC and BCC are BASIC email functionality that ANY interface, that sends email, should have and have had for literal decades now.
Given the cost of subscriptions (that only ever go up!) shortcomings like this are simply unacceptable and need to be resolved. Please stop making excuses for companies like Xero to just duck shove a solution instead of earning the money they get paid in our (increased) subs.

I'm stunned that such a basic function is not included in the invoice email interface. Come on Xero!

Yes, a selectable default would be fantastic as it can then cater for everyone
