Hi team, now in 2025 and many here will have received our recent communication leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing on 27 Feb this year.
We’re continuing to work hard on delivering more features within new invoicing that’ll help most in your workflow.
Thanks for staying engaged with us on changes that’ll help you through the idea here.
To give an update on recent deliveries that positively impact some of you that have shared on the idea here. Late last year we released improvements to the issue and due date fields so you can now use all the date entry shortcuts that were available in classic, and we made it simpler to access the date picker. We also updated the Files attachment modal so you can now drag & drop files anywhere on the page, and when you use tracked inventory you can see the number of items you have on hand to sell.
This year we’ve made updates to bring more actions into the body of the invoice, so you can now add tracking options on the fly, or set or edit the exchange rate on foreign currency invoices. And, as of this week we’ve released a whole set of new shortcuts to save clicks and help you quickly perform common actions like being able to Approve an invoice which we know is valuable to our customers! While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.
We have more updates in store like changes to the Contact ‘To’ field that I mentioned in my last update and improvements to the line item grid within the body of your invoice. You can read more of what’s to come on Xero Central.

I have tried to work with the new invoice that will be in full implementation soon and I immediately noticed it adds a few more steps for me when I input amount paid in the invoice. On the new format, I still have to click "add payment" on the upper right corner of the page and wait for a (slow) window to pop up and finally put in payment details such as date, etc.
With the previous format, I just scroll down the page to find the payment info and options are already there before I finally click "Add payment". It is not as fluid as the previous format. Also, after putting in amount paid, the page goes to the the main page / list of invoices. And then I try to search the page for the next invoice to me to update an invoice that was already paid, it won't instantly search under the "All" invoices tab but under "Paid" tab. So again it's another step for me to click on the "All" invoice tab and then search for the invoice number before I can make payment updates on it.
I hope you can make the new format as fluid as the old one. It simply takes longer to do work and is a step back.
