Hi everyone, to give a bit more detail from our status update a few months ago - The ability to copy to a bill is a feature that the team will be building into the new invoicing experience. They have a few items on their agenda and I want to be open that this is not planned to be delivered until after the sunset of classic invoicing.
For the time being, you'll find you can still copy to a new invoice, quote, purchase order or bill from the invoices list view.
You can get a bit more of an understanding of what's coming from our Xero central page. When there's more news on copy to a bill I'll share this, here.

Thanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero.
Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience.
As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings.
Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

Hi everyone, as another step toward improving history of new invoicing you'll find you'll now see an entry when an invoice is sent, and the email address it has been sent to.
We appreciate this is something we've heard a fair amount of feedback on and we hope helps in your journey to using new invoicing.
We still have more enhancements on the way for history and I'll be back again when more updates land.

Hi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.
Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:
- what’s available in new invoicing right now,
- timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
- a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.
We'll be updating this page regularly.
Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

514 votesThanks 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 appreciate this is how many of you here have been making use of inventory and our product team are closely monitoring the feedback we're getting on this. Though we don't…Collis Marrett

Hi community, we appreciate all the feedback you've shared on how we can improve new invoicing for your needs.
In relation to the alert of available credit as raised in this idea, we've identified there are a few situations for Invoice only users where the available credit pop up isn't being shown. This is something we have plans to fix, and while I can't give a specific date on the idea here, we want you to know this is important to us and I'll keep you updated on progress here.

Hi team, thanks for sharing detail of the value in this idea in the ways you invoice.
We've just released a new line item grid in invoicing which includes the ability to manually add blank rows and shift these to where you're like them placed in your invoice.
That said, I want to be transparent in how this works - When you save your invoice any blank lines will be removed. So, if you'd like blank lines to help break your invoice into sections, you'll need to enter a character in the Description field of the blank line. Even a full stop '.' or dash '-' would suffice.

Hi community, thanks for continuing to engage, and sharing your needs in adding more layers to your chart of accounts structure.
We know especially for some of our US customers that this can sometimes be a show stopper in using of Xero.
Right now, we do have a product team that have begun exploring the efforts that'd be required to implement a change of this nature - while we can't commit to any development at this point we'll share any progression with you all here. Thanks

Agree with all the comments here. A simple basic function that is standard on your competitors equivalent products, and a reason to choose them over Xero. Sub accounts is hardly reinventing the wheel, should not be an issue to implement.

Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

Hi Belinda, to check in on your idea here are you looking for similar to the Pay History report that allows you to search the employee versus drop down and select as you do in the Leave Transactions report?

Or perhaps an alternative would be to make it so that when you return to the employee list, you return to the next employee on the list from which you just left, instead of returning right back to the very first employee on the list every time.

Thanks for your engagement in this idea, everyone. Apolgies it's taken so long to update you here, and appreciate the confirmation of where you'd like to see this.
We want to be honest that we don't have any planned work for developing print options at the organisation level atm. If there's any changes to share we'll let you know.

I can't believe you have to save a report in a file location EVERY SINGLE TIME just to simply view or print it??? This is one of the most basic features that ALL of your competitors provide. It is EXTREMELY inconvenient, as not only do we have to waste time saving a PDF that should simply be displayed on the screen, but we also have to waste more time deleting all these files once finished. Why have you made this simple process so user unfriendly? How can you possibly think that this is somehow more environmentally sustainable when all the customer wants to do is simply view it on screen 90% of the time. And if they want to print the document they're going to do it anyway? All you have done is made a very simple process into an unnecessarily long one for no reason at all. Not happy!

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

After reading the comments on this thread, what I don't understand is why Xero even bothers with this forum. It's very clear they don't want to listen to their customers. Time to start looking at alternative suppliers methinks.

Many suppliers only accept payment by BPAY on their invoices these days. At present BPAY invoices can only be paid one at a time, which makes the process of paying BPAY bills an unnecessarily time consuming process compared to paying batch payments with direct credit bank account details. We need to have the ability to batch pay BPAY invoices so we can pay multiple BPAY invoices more efficiently, ASAP.

And the ability to specify an "as at" date for the report. At present your only choice is the current day.
