Hi team, now in 2025 and many here will have received our recent communication leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing on 27 Feb this year.
We’re continuing to work hard on delivering more features within new invoicing that’ll help most in your workflow.
Thanks for staying engaged with us on changes that’ll help you through the idea here.
To give an update on recent deliveries that positively impact some of you that have shared on the idea here. Late last year we released improvements to the issue and due date fields so you can now use all the date entry shortcuts that were available in classic, and we made it simpler to access the date picker. We also updated the Files attachment modal so you can now drag & drop files anywhere on the page, and when you use tracked inventory you can see the number of items you have on hand to sell.
This year we’ve made updates to bring more actions into the body of the invoice, so you can now add tracking options on the fly, or set or edit the exchange rate on foreign currency invoices. And, as of this week we’ve released a whole set of new shortcuts to save clicks and help you quickly perform common actions like being able to Approve an invoice which we know is valuable to our customers! While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.
We have more updates in store like changes to the Contact ‘To’ field that I mentioned in my last update and improvements to the line item grid within the body of your invoice. You can read more of what’s to come on Xero Central.

The fact that I'd have to go into my inventory balance in reports to make sure that I have enough stock to sell, instead of the old system where I can view it seamlessly when I select the quantity to key in, is such a downer.
In FMCG, the ability to see how much inventory is left on hand while keying in an invoice is a life, and time saver.
Instead of optimizing our workflow, this new invoicing system has made it much more complicated and time consuming.
Please do not change something that has been working fine just for the sake of changing.
If the devs feel that these are vital and necessary QOL upgrade, please give us the option to decide that the said "upgrades" and changes are not for us.
Also the new UI for after approval seems so much bigger and clunkier.
At the very least, have the classic invoicing available and the new one as an option if people really did want it; instead of discontinuing the classic completely.
