Well, it's now a lost cause. Xero killed classic invoicing, so now we have to import invoices as before, but also keep track of the current invoice number on a notepad and manually type it into each invoice. What a clown show.

I agree with Leandro, but it's not even large companies. Even small companies have to import via csv.
Xero used to be customer focused, now they are profit focused.
Case in point - Xero gets revenue from payment services, so it plasters the invoice interface with ads for payment services. We will never use this, but you can't turn it off. It doesn't belong on the invoices interface, setting up payment services is a global thing, it belongs in "settings" (and it is there, but also on the invoicing page)
We already pay a monthly fee for the system, now we have to put up with non-skipable advertising. They are also removing other features with the soon-to-be-mandatory "New" invoicing. Its all a downhill slide of enshitification.Accounts .

but lets be realist here - reported in 2013, its had no movement for more than a decade.
Accountants have passed away waiting for this feature, but now that "New" invoicing is about to be forced on the users, its become even more important.
The reason is that, while there was a work around in Classic invoicing, New invoicing has NO WAY FOR AN IMPORTED INVOICE TO GET THE NEXT SEQUENTIAL NUMBER other than the user looking up the last number, checking that no other user has saved an invoice since the check, and typing that in. What a stupid workflow to have to follow, when Classic invoicing did this for you just by deleting the temporary/random invoice number that the import came with, and clicking save.
As the UK users will point out, having sequential invoice numbers is a LEGAL requirement in some countries. I hope users find this to be the straw that causes them to ditch Xero, because bug reports and feature requests have been totally ineffective. -

Hi Samantha, when referring to send would this be the 'Email' button in classic?
If so this is actually still available in new invoicing, you'll find the option in the 3 dot menu at the top of the page 🙂

@Samantha Penny - It seems that almost all users need that button, often multiple times for each invoice, so because its such a high use function the UI team buried it in a submenu and changed its name. For your convienience. /s
If you use the Brave web browser, right click on the page, choose "Block Element", and then select the element - not the button, but a little above the button (the div tag). Once all the bits you don't want are purple with a blue border, click, then choose Block Elements.
The browser remembers this combo of url and element id, and you then don't have to put up with the ********* that xero is shovelling.
Next, email ceo@xero.com and tell her what you think.
Then, buy one share of XRO and tell the board what you think
