508 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

It would be great if Xero would allow for a description only line in invoicing, one that did not need to contain a quantity or $ value. This would allow for a templated description that did not correspond to a product itself. For our business for example, we use a header that says 'Professional services consisting of' and we put this in a separate line above the listed product items. Currently this populates 0's for the other fields and this looks untidy and the only way around it is to manually type the description. Ours is short so it is ok but there are times when a longer description only field may be useful.
