This is critical. It is stupid that you cannot add by USI and even more stupid that, when searching by name, you can't see the full name and USI next to it.
Given that Xero provides the ability to set all this stuff in their software, they should bear some of the responsibility of us being able to set it correctly so we aren't running afoul of the ATO etc.
I can tell you in no uncertain terms that if I do happen to run afoul of the ATO because something is done incorrectly I'll be damned sure to throw Xero under the bus if the mistake is due to their badly designed or implemented systems.

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback on this here. Through testing we found that majority of our customers would Approve and email an invoice at once, which is why this was developed as the default in new invoicing. That said we appreciate others would like a different action as their primary option.
While we don't have direct plans for adding the ability to set a default for this action, we're listening to your feedback and looking into how we can improve efficiency and speed things up for you when using new invoicing through the use of keyboard shortcuts. We'll share more news when we've confirmed what this shortcut looks like and are closer to providing this to you all.

What happens if you find a mistake after you have approved, that you need to correct, but now the email has already been sent? Now you get to look like a moron in having to contact the customers, tell them to ignore the invoice and then correct and send another... all because Xero decided, via questionable arbitration, that it was a good idea to do 2 functions with the click of one button.
Sorry, but this is a dumb decision.
Default should be Approve.
Better yet, let us select our own defaults and not be dictated to by a majority of a minority of selected beta tester users.

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

Hi community, thanks for getting involved here and letting us know the importance around being able to see the details whenever an invoice is sent from Xero. We understand the importance of this to our customers and our product team are beginning to review this idea to solve needs in this space. We'll move to Under review and I'll let you know as there's more progress here. Thanks

Hi all, we thank you for all sharing detail on your experience when using new invoicing in Xero. Taking this on board our team have been reviewing the line item grid where you enter details in new invoicing. We have work underway to improve and address points raised such as providing a more compact layout so you can see more at once, showing full account and tracking names, and more direct options to reduce clicks and steps in common actions.
For the time being, small adjustments can be made to your computer scale or browser zooming to see more detail at once, although we understand this is not the ideal solution.
I'll return to let you know when we're closer to release and can share more of the changes.

Hi team, we appreciate all the feedback we've had from customers on how you enter dates when creating invoices in Xero. Our teams are considering improvements to the date picker, taking all feedback about this field on board. For now we'll move the idea to Under review and I'll be back to share when we can share more detail of what this will entail. Thanks

Hi community, thank you for all sharing with us here in product ideas. We've been taking your feedback on board seriously and there is work underway atm for the line item grid that'll improve your experience when you enter detail of your invoices.
Along with other improvements one of the changes this work will provide is the ability to add new rows to your invoice, and be able to shift these around to where you'd like them placed within your invoice.
I'll shift to working on it and round back to confirm once this is released and available to you all to make use of.

I disagree. Automatic new line is a pain as it just adds one line when you enter something in the last line.
When I'm building an invoice, I regularly add however many lines I want first then structure it the way I want.
If I want to add 5 or 7 or 11 or whatever, I just want to be able to click the add a line button, not **** around entering a character in the last line just to get one more.

@Elise Edwards - You have to fill in some of the info in the last line and it then automatically adds another line.
However, you then need to put data in the quantity and/or unit value fields of the new line or it deletes the new line again.
It is a really stupid change IMO. Classic has an "Add line" button to add as many lines as you like, without auto deleting them again if they were blank for any length of time, which worked perfectly fine previously.
This is a classic example of change for change's sake, that does nothing to improve the UI and actively makes using the UI harder.

Hi team, thanks for your contribution and sharing with us on your use of being able to see levels of stock when invoicing. Right now, our team are developing improvements to the line item grid in new invoicing, where you enter detail of your invoices. This work also involves providing visibility of your tracked inventory stock on hand so you know how many items you have to sell.
For now we'll move to working on it and I'll keep you updated of when this is released in new invoicing.

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.

Hi everyone, to give a bit more detail from our status update a few months ago - The ability to copy to a bill is a feature that the team will be building into the new invoicing experience. They have a few items on their agenda and I want to be open that this is not planned to be delivered until after the sunset of classic invoicing.
For the time being, you'll find you can still copy to a new invoice, quote, purchase order or bill from the invoices list view.
You can get a bit more of an understanding of what's coming from our Xero central page. When there's more news on copy to a bill I'll share this, here.

Hi community, we appreciate you engaging and letting us know the importance of drag and dropping files into your invoices.
Since the release of the attach files feature within new invoicing our teams have being paying close attention to feedback and understand the efficiency you need in this process.
This is something our team are looking to make improvements for and we'll shift the idea to working on it. As this develops I'll keep you updated of news and provide more detail through the idea, here.

Yes, drag and drop is the way forward. Dropdowns and clicking buttons to find the file you already have in another window is doing it backwards

Hi team, while we don't have immediate plans to change the placement of buttons on new invoicing we're interested in staying close to this feedback and I'll move the idea to Under review for the time being. We'll return to confirm any outcomes.

Thanks for letting us know how useful this feature is to you when creating invoices for your customers in Xero. We have some improvements the team are focusing on within the contact card to provide our customers more efficiency, which includes the ability to search to add an address for a Contact.
For the time being we'll change this to working on it, and I'll keep you up to date with any progress for this, here.

They have put this stupid requirement into classic as well.
WHY DO I NEED TO INPUT A NON-ZERO VALUE IN THE QUANTITY AND UNIT VALUE FIELD FFS!?!?!!?
Why is it such an issue to let us have a blank info line? What is your problem with that Xero? What about making our jobs easier offends you so much?

Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest his idea has received. Introducing the ability to add a discount amount was highly requested by our community. We recognise for customers that discount by % this means you'll need to enter a % symbol where y ou wouldn't have done so before.
With quite a few items drawing our teams attention at present we want to be upfront that developing a default option for discounts isn't in the pipeline atm. This is something we'll keep reviewing and consider as a future improvement in this space. If there is any change or progress around this I'll let you know on the idea, here.

Hi team, while not a 'default' option for this within Xero, you could achieve this using a Custom DOCX branding theme, with an advanced invoice template.
With the template open in Microsoft Word, you can add the ContactPhysicalAddress merge field where you want their Delivery Address to appear.
You can add your logo and make any other changes you'd like, before saving the file and uploading it back into your branding theme in Xero.
You'll then want to select this custom branding theme for your invoices.

I already didn't like Autosave as it causes such a slowdown in operation but now that I see it logs each and every time you change something it makes the file history utterly stupidly verbose and completely useless.
Seriously, either give us the option to turn it off or get rid of it completely. I cannot state strongly enough how dumb it is.
