Hi community, appreciate your feedback. Currently our team are working on some improvements to the To field in new invoicing and the contacts card that appears when selecting a contact. We understand some of our customers make use of the keyboard much more than the mouse and in reviewing the flow when using Tab the team will be making a change to make selection of a contact and movement to the date field smoother. I'll come back to confirm the detail of the change when this is released.

Also when you tab across from the contact to the date, if it could select the date so I could start typing a new date, that'd be great. Currently I have to ctrl+a once I get to that field, whereas it used to just automatically select it. I almost never invoice at today's date.

Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I’m pleased to let you know that this has been delivered for UK Payroll initially! It includes the ability to select the date range you’re interested in, and check boxes to either select all results or multiple. Then you can download your selection as a single PDF of multiple payslips.
For users in AU and NZ we know this is a highly anticipated feature, however to be open this is not any immediate plans for those teams so we’ll leave this idea open. While we appreciate it doesn’t help employers needing bulk downloads, employees can be invited into the Xero Me portal to self-serve payslip collection.

Just checking if this is available in AU yet? This seems like a pretty basic report to make available?

Hi team, we appreciate all the feedback we've had from customers on how you enter dates when creating invoices in Xero. Our teams are considering improvements to the date picker, taking all feedback about this field on board. For now we'll move the idea to Under review and I'll be back to share when we can share more detail of what this will entail. Thanks

To add to this suggestion - with classic invoicing, using tab to navigate from the contact card across to date will highlight today's date, so you can quickly type the correct invoice date in. With new invoicing, the cursor goes to the end of today's date, so the quickest way to change the date is to CTRL+A before retyping the new date, which still adds an extra step. You could switch back to the way classic invoicing highlights the date without affecting anyone who invoices at today's date.

Thanks to everyone that participated in and shared back on the team’s research in the new invoicing layout. Taking your feedback on board our teams have made some improvements to the layout of new invoicing, including changes to the layout of fields and buttons.
By rearranging and condensing space between fields, you’ll find there is less white space than previously shown, making it easier to navigate and tab through fields when entering your invoices.We’re actively looking into changes within the invoicing grid that’ll go further to condensing information on the screen and reducing actions when entering your invoices. We’ll update as there is more information to share on this.

I note you've made some changes already, but there is still way too much white space, I find myself having to scroll after only entering a few products. Especially annoying with the buttons at the top of the invoice too!

Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is looking into this idea however, they don't have any dates planned on when they’ll develop the ability to schedule emails.
Totally understand how this feature could benefit your workflow though, being able to schedule an email to send during acceptable hours, so you don’t have to remember!
Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

yes! We have to send invoices on the day of delivery but we enter the invoices on the day of dispatch, a schedule send would be a life saver!

Thanks for sharing and feeding back through this idea, community. While our team are reviewing the behaviours of date fields in new invoicing - It may help to clarify how due date works in conjunction with defaults to define how these are working in your organisation at present. Basically put, every time you change an Issue date this influences the Due date, which is a slight change to classic invoicing.
Currently, there are two defaults that can be set in Xero, within Invoice Settings and within an individual Contact records.
Invoice Settings due date is a blanket for any invoice raised in the org, if you set a Contact due date this will override the Invoice Settings due date when you select that Contact when invoicing.
When you change the Due date of an invoice, and then edit it's Issue date this will trigger any defaults you have set up…

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback on this here. Through testing we found that majority of our customers would Approve and email an invoice at once, which is why this was developed as the default in new invoicing. That said we appreciate others would like a different action as their primary option.
While we don't have direct plans for adding the ability to set a default for this action, we're listening to your feedback and looking into how we can improve efficiency and speed things up for you when using new invoicing through the use of keyboard shortcuts. We'll share more news when we've confirmed what this shortcut looks like and are closer to providing this to you all.

Hi team, while we don't have immediate plans to change the placement of buttons on new invoicing we're interested in staying close to this feedback and I'll move the idea to Under review for the time being. We'll return to confirm any outcomes.

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…Shannon McMonigal

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.

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 team, thank you to those that engaged our team through the research of the new invoicing layout. With help and input from you all we have released improvements to the layout of new invoicing that involves shifting the placement of some fields and buttons which has also helped to reduce white space and condense the view.
Hearing about the differing flows and how many customers enter data when invoicing has helped inform where fields and buttons are now placed, and in many cases helps speed up the entry of your invoicing data.
We’re continuing to explore improvements such as default options, keyboard entry of fields and pathways when adding additional options within the invoicing grid (such as Tracking, or Accounts), and we have individual ideas for these elements that we’d encourage you to join and support, which I’ve listed below.Shannon McMonigal

I agree with this & a lot of comments here.
Xero currently has the functionality to automate single invoice reminders, surely it's possible to automate monthly statement emails.
Having invoices sorted by due date rather than invoice date would make so much more sense, currently it's way too easy for a customer to miss an overdue invoice that was dated later than older invoices with a longer due date.
Having overdue dates stand out - maybe making the text red should be easy enough - conditional formatting on any dates occurring in the past or something.
Having a breakdown between balance overdue & current balance due at the bottom of the table would be great. A table with a breakdown of overdue ageing would be even better. I know it's possible to insert IF statements into a word doc so it should be easy enough for the developers to enter into the standard template. Or just add more merge fields to actually let us customise our "custom" templates.Shannon McMonigal

Yes, I agree! Especially when dealing with a large bill batch, and one payment has dishonoured, it would be so much easier to find the bill & record a payment reversal, then process another payment against it, rather than having to unreconcile the existing batch, find the payments within the batch, create a new spend & receive money, re-reconcile the payment, etc. It's such a waste of time that could be seriously simplified.

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…

Hi Tina, just thinking in lieu of this feature atm - To help get a view of bills that don't have an assigned planned date you can click the Planned date header to sort all bills by planned date and this will also group all bills with no planned date. 🙂

Yep, I accidentally click "approve" instead of "save" sometimes, it would be fantastic if we could revert to draft if it hasn't been marked "sent"

I actually like having the due date change, as I very rarely issue invoices at today's date - so I want the due date to be X days from the invoice date, not the date I enter the invoice.
