    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.

    This is such an important part of invoicing, being able to add extra lines. Please fix before you get rid of the old invoicing. Still confused why you have to get rid of the old invoicing, which it has so much better functionality than new invoicing.

    Hi everyone, thanks to everyone that completed and fed back through our earlier survey. We appreciate you sharing needs in sequential invoice numbering and will continue to consider these needs as we evolve invoicing in Xero.

    Right now, we want to be upfront that there are no direct changes planned for how invoice numbers are assigned.

    We'll keep monitoring interest of this here and will update if there are any developments.

    This is very important, and I don't want to have to revert to the new invoicing on 20th November if this is not solved. I work three different jobs and this is affecting me at all my jobs. The classic invoicing is great when it populates the next sequential number and it is very frustrating to get to the point of approval to have an error that you cannot have a blank invoice number, yet the system does nothing to help.

    We use a booking system, and it automatically sends an invoice to Xero using a booking reference number (BRN.....) that is put into the Invoice number field. In the old invoicing system, I would delete this booking number, and then it would add the next invoice number automatically, but now it comes up with, "There must be an invoice number" and it puts back the booking reference in the invoice and I cannot change this. I agree this is a backward step and needs to be corrected before Classic invoicing is no longer available. Or retain Classic invoicing as am finding other issues as we..
