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.

I can't believe you're still pushing this nasty new version of invoicing. Maybe it makes sense from the perspective of including tablet users? That's the only way I can understand what you're doing with it. I can't work with it for more than a few minutes before I lose my rag with it and revert to classic. I forced myself to use it for 20mins just so I could drop some feedback, which I'm not confident will be acted upon.
I work with an invoice book pinned under my mouse wrist while I type. I tab my way through the interface and use the mouse when I'm forced to. I could use my previous accounts sofware without ever touching the mouse. Since using Xero I've developed a real appreciation for that software, wherein before I thought it was archaic I now have a real soft spot for it.
Here is a few things I'll use for examples. Some are very minor, some of them prove infuriating when you're trying to work quickly.
The date field doesn't accept spaces anymore. Like "10 10" would be enough to enter 10th October.
Can't use keyboard on date field on payment screen. That's lovely on tablets I'm guessing.
No address lookup on add customer. That was one of the features Xero had I genuinely appreciated when I moved to it.
Forced to mouse for entering payment codes on payment screen. It's so much easier to tab and type them when you know them all.
It would be nice to have options to change the interface, like the approve button for instance. We don't email invoices, so having just approve as the main button is much better for us.
When typing the customer name I can't tab off the customer details section and have to go to the mouse.
Aside from new issues, it would be nice if the customer's address shows when hovered over. I have to keep another tab open to check all the customer addresses and this small feature would make trips to the other tab much less frequent.
I get that tech companies now have to think about more devices types now, but try doing it not at the expense of computer users. Give us the option to work at the same effiency as we always have. Look at the train wreck that is Microsoft Office. That ribbon nonsense is still a major step back from the interface it had twenty years ago. The windows shell and start menu loses functionality with every interation. Luckily there are ways for the user to fix these missteps themselves. We don't have that luxury if you withhold the classic interface from your users. I'd happily use a legacy Xero interface that doesn't get feature updates. I probably wouldn't benefit from them anyway.
