Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

Hi community,
I wanted to let you know that the product and tech team have been following this thread and have been listening to your interest in the functionality. We do understand the frustration it’s causing when dealing with a large number of invoices awaiting payment. Your time is valuable, and the challenges you’ve encountered are not reflective of the seamless experience we aim to provide.
However, we are not able to build everything at once. And as a global business with many requests for our different regions and needs, when it comes to payments, we are prioritizing first improving the online invoicing experience to allow more payers to pay online. That is the most critical functionality as we know those using online payments, get paid faster. There are still some critical needs here.
This idea is on our radar though, and as we work through the priority list, it…

This is crucial as when reconciling I have no idea which company has paid as the batch reference is also not pulled through. Also when searching by customer name to match amounts, these entries do not appear

Hi everyone, thanks for all the interest here. We understand the pain point of extra work when you need to apply a credit to a bill that's already part of a batch payment.
We are committed to enhancing your ability to manage, pay and track supplier bills from Xero. Through strategic partnerships in the UK and US customers can already pay bills online, delivering a comprehensive, bank-agnostic online bill payments experience.
Our product team's current focus is on delivering solutions like this to more regions, and continuing to develop these flows.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to change the credit application process right now.
We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and are sorry for any disappointment. Please know that we appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and helping us understand how you use Xero. We’ll update this…

Hi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding the ability to split batch payments when reconciling, and understand it currently takes extra steps to reconcile when a single invoice among a batch has been paid, or when there are multiple payments to the same entity for different invoices.
Being transparent, we don’t have direct plans for making this change within the foreseeable future but if anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea!An error occurred while saving the comment Elizabeth Arnott

It would be great not to have to unpick a whole batch and re-enter just because one entry is incorrect

Why isn't the legal aspect of this being considered? In the UK, invoice numbers should be consecutive. It is very easy to waste invoice numbers with the Autosave feature. I appreciate some people think they lose work by not having autosave but it should be an option, not a forced "feature" that is not useful. Why make everyone pay for those that can't use a save button?? We raise invoices as draft as appointments are made. As numerous appointments are made in a day and invoices must be issued immediately, this saves a lot of time to pre-populate draft invoices. This requires contact details to be added. If those appointments are canceled or changed, the invoice isn't needed. A draft should be a draft not a fixed invoice number - otherwise why call it a draft?
Who does Xero consult with when making decisions? The cost of the software is increasing every few months but the functionality is getting worse.
