Hi everyone, thanks to everyone that completed and fed back through our earlier survey. We appreciate you sharing needs in sequential invoice numbering and will continue to consider these needs as we evolve invoicing in Xero.
Right now, we want to be upfront that there are no direct changes planned for how invoice numbers are assigned.
We'll keep monitoring interest of this here and will update if there are any developments.

Hi team, thank you for your thorough feedback in this idea. We appreciate there are different preferences our users have when approving invoices in Xero and just to re-highlight - there are now keyboard shortcuts available for most action buttons in invoicing to help navigate and quickly select the option you prefer rather than the drop down selection.
Though we understand it is not the news you're hoping here we want to be transparent that there are no plans at this stage to add the ability to set your own default for the Approve button in invoicing.
We will continue to track the support this idea keeps building and be sure to let you know if there is any change to the status of this idea, here.

Many of us only add invoices once a day or once a week, so we are ALWAYS adding multiple invoices at the same time. If the above recommendation by Andrew is too complex, then may I suggest that the users simply be able to define the default action of the button (leaving the others available in the drop-down of course).

This is an extremely basic feature that must be fixed (in my opinion, a bug). If I create a NEW invoice, but then do not approve it or save it as a draft, and simply close the browser or the session times out) the invoice number that had been temporarily allocated to this invoice is now lost. The next time I open Xero and input a new invoice, it skips that number and uses the next number. This is ridiculous behaviour as consecutive invoice numbers are critical to many companies.
To fix this, whenever a new invoice is started, the invoice number allocated must be the next sequential number, irrelevant of how many other times an invoice had been started, not completed. The logic is ALREADY there to not let a user save an invoice with the same number as a previous, so if 20 new invoices are attempted to be created at the same time, they still couldn't save them with the same number.
