Classic Invoicing is Retiring – Get Ready with Expert Xero Training

As accountants, we know that keeping up with software changes can be challenging, especially when they impact key business processes like invoicing. From 26 February 2025, Xero will retire classic invoicing, making the new version the only invoicing system available. While this change brings improvements, it also means businesses need to adapt quickly to avoid disruption. That’s where we can help.

Our Xero training services will ensure you and your team understand the new invoicing system, making the transition smooth and stress-free. Furthermore, we’ll equip you with the knowledge and confidence to use the latest Xero features effectively.

What You Need to Know
  • From 26 February 2025, classic invoicing will no longer be available. As the transition time may vary, we recommend avoiding classic invoicing on this date to prevent the loss of unsaved changes.
  • No data will be lost – all saved drafts, repeating invoices, and historical data will remain accessible via the Invoice List page. From 26 February, they will open in the new invoicing system.
  • Xero has introduced several new features to improve efficiency, including easier date entry, keyboard shortcuts, enhanced tracking, and improved inventory management.

Why Act Now?
