    Hi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.

    Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:

    • what’s available in new invoicing right now,
    • timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
    • a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.

    We'll be updating this page regularly.


    Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

    'New Invoicing' frequent autosaving creates so many entries in the invoice history & notes as to completely ruin the usefulness and purpose of the log. Now it is just noise

    Some suggestions for 'New Invoicing' - if we must use it, even though we most certainly do not want to as 'Classic Invoicing' is working perfectly well.
    1) - Auto saving needs to be optional
    2) - More control over email templates as the tone of current presentation 'demanding money' is awful and does not suit our other applications for invoice emails (ie dispatch notes to our 3PL partner or quick sales reporting. Where 'money' references are not wanted ).

    or you could just keep 'Classic invoicing' as an on going option.

    The new 'Auto saving' function is proving to be a real pain. It creates new drafts when none were wanted and creates a lot of extra log entries that are just 'noise'.
    Please make this function OPTIONAL!

    Hello Xero,
    Please please DO NOT KILL "OLD INVOICING" !!
    The "new invoicing" ruins many of our frequently used day to day business routines that have been refined over 10+ years. Along with being truly terrible, 'new invoicing' will necessitate clumsy workarounds that will take much more time and increase the risk for mistakes.

    ( we have begun investigating MYOB as a replacement system, we hate 'new invoicing' that much )

    New invoicing is terrible. The 'shouty tone' demanding money in the non-editable email headers is appalling and goes against how we conduct business. Auto-saving creates more problems - not sure what they trying to fix there. All of the processes are more complex than classic invoicing - we have enjoyed classic invoicing for over 10 yrs!
