   Thanks 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 have any solid plans for changing this right now we will keep the idea under review, and share if there's any change planned.

   Thank you for your on-going input and attention to the idea here, everyone.

   We will keep you updated on change for being able to add new tracking options when using new invoicing here, however if there are other items that you'd like to see developed please do make sure you've joined and are following updates for these too.

   I can confirm our team have work underway to improve the line item grid where you enter detail of your invoice. Part of this work includes the ability to add new tracking options without navigating away from the invoice.

   For now we'll move this idea to working on it and I'll be back to share when there's more news of this going live for you all.

   We appreciate wanting to see more rapid movement, everyone. Having done a lot of exploration into this area our team have a good handle on the needs to solve this, however we want to be honest that development will be some time away with the team currently focused on improving bills list views and updating add/edit bill pages. For the time being to keep you up to date we're going to move this idea back to Submitted until more active work takes place for this.

   I can assure you this idea is the best place to be leaving feedback for this feature, and Xero Product Ideas as a whole is the best place to be sharing where you'd like to see change across Xero products. As a community team we're advocating on your behalf constantly to see where ideas can be worked on, and this site is where our product teams regularly come to better understand and see where they can develop solutions for our customers alongside other priorities they're balancing. You'll see in many places we're beginning to see how we can get our community members more involved in research and testing for ideas early on in the development process.

   As soon as there is more news around the teams work in this space we will be back to share this with you all, here.

   Hi everyone, some time on since my last update I wanted to give you more of an idea of the work we have going on to help reduce the number of steps and actions in new invoicing. Along with the changes mentioned in my last update, we've since released a change to the view of an invoice to shift details back into their own columns (similar to classic), while a small change we know it's improved visibility for some of our customers.

   We also have other work in development atm that’ll further help here like a new line item grid when editing your invoice - wrapped up in this we’ll be introducing changes you’ve been asking for like the ability to create a new tracking option or account code without having to navigate away from the invoice, we’re increasing the number of items that you can view from the drop down, and we’ll be bringing back the ability to view the number of stock on hand.

   As mentioned in my last post, our team is developing shortcuts for the drop down actions like Approve and Save so you have more ease of selecting the option that's best for you.

   We also have some updates coming to;

   • The Contact card, so you’ll be able to add more details without having to go to the contact record, like more address lines, ability to look up addresses, and entering an Attention to all items we’ve heard lots of feedback on
   • Issue and Due date picking where we’ll make it quicker to simply select a calendar date and we’ll be adding more keyboard shortcuts such as the ability to enter +0 for today’s date
   • Ability to drag & drop files that we’re enhancing so you’ll be able to do this anywhere on the invoice rather than a specific area

   Again, thank you all for sharing and continuing to let us know the improvements that make a difference for you when working with new invoicing. We'll update you as items I've mentioned above are released.

   In classic invoicing if you want to delete a line, it's one click. Now it's two clicks. If there are 25 lines... that increases to 50 clicks!!!!!

   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.

   I have decided to trial your new invoicing for the 2nd time since Xero is now forcing us to... as you'll be removing classic invoicing at the end of the year... our whole team have trialled the new invoicing and we have all aborted as we do not like it and it SLOWS US DOWN! It certainly is NOT faster. When I review invoices, we have multiple documents attached to the invoice. I open all these to reconcile the invoice that has been drafted, before I can approve and send. The new invoicing system, opens each document up in a new tab. Classic invoicing has the pop up window and I can just click next for each view. Now I have to toggle between multiple tabs and work on two screens. It is slow and is adding at least 5min to each approval and we have LOADS of invoices. Your new system also does not keep track of who we emailed the invoice to. We have multiple departments per client and we like to refer to the prior invoice to see who we have emailed the invoice to. That log has not disappeared in history and notes. You have also removed the expected date button in history and notes as we add in another date before exiting out of the invoice. Now we have to go to awaiting approval and search for the invoice to add the date. This adds TIME. And there are a few clients that we have to manually send the invoice to, as their inboxes will not accept invoices sent from Xero due to security reasons. With the old system, we could mark the invoice as sent to show that we have sent it. The new system just reflects as not sent. Now we have to go into the invoice and manually check a box. I fear November as this system is CLUNKY. It's not streamlined.

   Hi everyone, we appreciate wanting to hear from us on this idea and apologies for not commenting sooner. I can assure you this has not gone unnoticed and internally there have been reviews and discussions for how batch payments can be improved. We have the appetite, but as with all developments this must be weighed up and considered against many other important changes needed in product. 

   We want to be upfront that developing the ability to include Credit notes in Batch payments has not been planned at this stage. 

   As some may have seen, we do have work going on around being able to include Credit Notes as part of the reconciliation process. We understand for many on this idea the timing of including credit notes when you’re creating the batch payments is crucial, however we hope that when delivered at least being able to reconcile these more efficiently may improve the process for some customers. 

   We appreciate wanting to see developments, and while this update doesn’t signal the movement you’re hoping for right now, if there is any progress to share we’ll definitely update all of you through the idea here.
