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.

I'm joining this conversation as our organisation is also facing the same issue. Xero communication has been beyond poor. They keep telling me that this is a priority matter - but this "priority" fails to be resolved months on.
@ Xero - we would expect your New Invoicing to maintain the same functionality as Classic Invoicing as a bare minimum. If you are unable to do this at present, please extend the switchover window. Your customers workflow as being seriously affected as is demonstrated by the comments in this case

So today is the first official day of using new invoicing. Xero have told me that the automatic assigning of the next number is "not an priority" so I am led to believe that all the communication that they are "closely monitoring this" is superficial.
Xero have told me to use a workaround...
I am to have a separate tab open to show all the invoices so that I know which is the latest number and therefore be able to add this manually on new invoices I am creating. OBVIOUSLY this is a ridiculous state of affairs given that technology is supposed to make work more efficient, not less...
Invoice numbering is a basic practice of accountancy so for a software provider to expect customers to use workarounds to manage such basic practices is beyond belief.
Finally, I have a question for people on this group. Does anyone have experience of QUICKBOOKS and whether it is a good platform for switching over to?
