yes, more fields needed for an inventory item, for example : preferred supplier, alternate item, stock group. does not have to be mandatory, can even piggy back on the tracking categories except maximum of 2 tracking categories is not enough.

Our Laundry business is heavily based around the weighing of linen to invoice customers. Also having the UOM in kg would allow us to run reports to see how much kg of laundry our attendants are able to process per hour.

Year, why don't we all leave and go to MYOB. They have it and also invoices can be sorted by their number.

If this isn’t added illl unfortunately have to leave Xero.

My butcher business work on weights per units and I have scales. I need the ability to add the weight to my invoices.
I also sell items with a unit price so adding the UOM is critical to distinguish between the items with or without weight.

So many years still didn't update the ability to include UOM in the invoice? ridiculous.

Add an additional column with the quantity description e.g., hours, days, analysis.
There is the "description" column, the "quantity" column and the "price" but not the description of the quantity.

Reporting 3 $100 it would be good to have Reprting 3 HOURS $100

Sales invoice as a requirement needs to have unit types and kg/tonnage

Can you change the format of the invoice to include type of Unit Kg/Litre as
this is important.

I have a client who sells artificial turf in measurements - ie; 5m by 2m. Each sqm is entered as a unit in the inventory, but the client has to calculate each sale manually, so with the above it would be 10 units. It would be handy, for more complicated measurements, to have a feature where we can enter the measurements and Xero would automatically work out the number of units needed - this also makes it clearer for their clients.

HELLO - IS there any one Home at Xero as no ONE is Listening !!

Please start listening Xero

We need to ad an extra column to calculate cartons and also have a sum at the bottom for both units and cartons.

We wholesale products which have a certain amount of units per box, 24, 30, 20 for example. When creating invoices in Xero there's one unit set up by default and we have to manually change the numbers we are going to invoice. Is there any option that we can set up the number of items sold per tracking inventory item? It will save us a lot of time and make Xero easier to use.

Add a general field to the inventory item, Be able to export / import this field along with the other inventory fields and be able to use this field in reports.
We are a embroidery and print company and would like to use this field for stitch counts against the embroidery logo item. But I am sure that many other businesses would have a need for a field that they could use against the inventory item for their industry / business.

Inventory function - We would like to see extra fields for a manufacturer-specific data entry point and store location, as we have 5.

This wpould be a fantastic tool especially for the service industrys

Our shipping company is now asking that we upload onto their platform, a csv commercial invoice with itemised price, description, quantity, commodity code and country of origin, instead of just uploading our own invoice which is causing us a lot more work and means that we can't easily send out urgent parts because it takes so long to fill in CSV file. I am very surprised that these fields weren't a feature from the word go.

Good view of the bigger picture. It's not difficult, Zoho does it easily, a specific UOM can be attached to an Item.

If you are going to do UoM, then understand you might as well go to the next level which is related UoM, eg, single/each, dozen, pack, crate, container and the price and discount relationship between them, both for suppliers and customers. Also for time based businesses, unit, minute, hour, day etc, and the quantity relationships.

Please also consider serialized inventory, lot and batch number recording and proper inventory and manufacturer part number recording.
