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.

I only have one question really ....
Why do Xero continually remove functionality that people rely on and not focus on fixing (very) long term issues - some of which put people in breach of ATO compliance???
Now THAT would be money well spent!But be patient ... there will be a disrupter in the accounting software realm around the corner and Xero will not even see the dust from the mass exodus.
(Funnily enough - the blank lines won't be removed from this post. That is just reserved to annoy people using the software ;)

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 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 recently optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
Our decision remains that we won’t be adding an option to turn off autosave on invoices. However, we hope this change improves your experience with autosave in draft invoices over time. Thanks again for your feedback.

Some sort of response from Xero would be nice. So people understand what their options are (ie move to a software with less headaches - a few come to mind)?
Xero - where is this at??? Are there any plans to resolve by 27 February?

Completely lost on the thinking behind this one. NONE of my clients want it, nor do many other people as per below and feedback elsewhere.
At least make it optional because, for now, it is just causing more "Classic invoicing will be retired on 27 February" headaches and possibly providing nothing to anyone?
It should be off by default, and those who want it (if anyone) can switch it on if they so desire.

Hi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.
As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).
We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.
That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.
In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

It is incorrect accounting practice to edit the amount of an invoice once issued to a third party, so Xero's suggestion Apr 11, 2024 is unacceptable.
Please provide an acceptable 'work around' whilst we all wait for this feature (that has been continually requested for many many years and has been available in other accounting software for many many years).
Thanks
PS whilst I am sure Paidnice is an awesome solution for those who are continually chasing overdue payments/adding fees and require an ongoing solution, it is too expensive for those who only occasionally have to apply fees.

What the flip? Why would anyone want to enter POs on their phone and NOT send them to the supplier?
Fundamental requirement that has been ignored for far too long.AK Caust

Is this a joke? If one puts a return in their description in an invoice, it should be a return in anything that is issued from that invoice. That includes the invoice and any reports that contain that description. Not sure if anyone heard, but they put a man on the moon in 1969 (or did they?) but Xero can't give you a return when you enter a return in 2025. Yep - it must be a joke!
