Hi community, thanks for on-going engagements with us about how you use the Xero network in this idea. As our team continue work on new invoicing, development for building the Xero Network within new invoicing is now underway, and we'll keep you updated of further news of this, here.
In the meantime, if you've set up Xero network for your contacts you can continue to send these through the Invoices awaiting payments list. As mentioned in my last updated we still strongly recommend exploring eInvoicing as a solution.

Why is Xero retiring Classic invoicing.?
Like Chantelle and many others, we use the Classic Invoicing version on Xero to send Invoices to our inter-companies and clients who are also registered with Xero. We could not operate without it. It is one of the keu features that encouraged our transition to Xero.
I had a trial of the New Invoicing, it is clunky, way way slower and lacks functionality and streamline capabilities of Classic Invoicing.
Einvoicing does not replace Xero to Xero invoicing.
It is not user friendly, which, in my opinion, we have all switched to Xero.I would suggest that until you Xero can incorporate Xero to Xero invoicing feature and clean up the whole look and placement of function tabs, you seriously consider deferring the retirement date of Classic Invoicing.
ALSO
We are now paying higher fees. Xero algorithms (AI) are severely lacking.
Is Xero addressing the problem. It is just getting worse and worse.Today, for example. I entered a bill from a regular supplier for Regrowth Control. Xero allocated the expense to Cattle purchases. This happens every single day on a way too regular basis.
And Just reiterating:
I would suggest that until you Xero can incorporate Xero to Xero invoicing feature and clean up the whole look and placement of function tabs, you seriously consider deferring the retirement date of Classic Invoicing.I welcome comment and feed back

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…

I couldn't agree more with all the complaints about new invoicing. A dogs breakfast someone called it. A very good description.
It could not be worse if you tried.
Slow, clunky, fragmented, Xero to Xero invoicing not available (What are you thinking??) click click click, too many clicks, too many tabs. I tried it and hated it.
Classic invoicing works beautifully so why fix something that is not broken and everybody likes. You say clasic invoicing has been available alonside new invoicing for a long time. Plenty of time you to get new invoicing to work. Yet still it is clearly not functioning anywhere near satisfactorily.
If classic invoicing is old platform, please, please can't you just put the same invoicing on a new platform. But leave it the same.
Thank goodness you have realised the necessity to defer the classic invoicing retirement.
I would hope that before new invoicing is forced on users, there is a huge effort to mirror the classic invoicing features and if not, the deadlineis extended again until you get it right.Sammy

Hey Lyn, thanks for suggesting this idea!
Xero will use your defaults accounts for a supplier or the inventory item to assign a pre-selected account code to the bill you've created. You can read a bit more about that here.
Just to clarify, is this the feature you're referring to? If so, it's possible to disable this by not entering in defaults for the items or contacts in question 😊

Xero algorithms (AI) does not work. Auto filling of account code is completely random and nothing to do with the expense.
Yesterday I entered a bill for Regrowth control from a regular supplier, Xero allocated the expense to cattle purchases.
This happens on a daily basis way way too frequently.The feature is a real hindrance. It is a recipe for a lot of mistakes. I have been bitten many times. If I have to manually check the allocation, I may as well enter it.
Until you can get this feature to work as it should, can you enable this feature to be turned off so I have to manually select the correct code? This would be a big help.

There are only 30 days or so till Xero is retiring classic invoicing. I have been pursuing the ridiculous decision to discontinue Xero to Xero function since July without a single positive response. 4 months of just being fobbed off with ..... "Our Product Team are considering customer feedback". I sincerely feel "Product team" need to be answerable and accountable. How are they getting away with this???? Please consider extending retirement date until they have resolved the issue contiuing the brilliant Xero to Xero function.
