    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 currently have a SITE DETAILS item code and then in the description there is a template to which we add site and job specific details such as site address, operator, job completion date etc.
    For your NEW INVOICING to work and look correct we would have to type the whole lot out for each and every invoice. The new invoicing already has added many more keystrokes and inconveniences and I am at the stage of looking for another accounting software package
