Tracking - Increase the number of tracking categories
I have a real estate client who wants to track clientID and Postcode but also Agent name and property value range. I can only use 2 categories and so have had to make a number of Item codes for each agent 30+ codes per agent in order to do this. If we could have more than 2 tracking categories that would be great!

Hi everyone, we appreciate all the interest in Tracking. As widely used as this feature is we have no plans at this point to develop and extend the current limitations of Tracking in Xero.
As some here may have explored - there are connected apps that may serve some of the needs of Tracking, as well as Xero Projects for those looking to monitor and record finite business projects or jobs.
If there's any change, we'll return here to update.
You're welcome to continue to share detail of how increasing options for tracking could benefit your business, however we want to be transparent in our position, so you can make the best decision as needed for your business.

For us to keep clients using Xero, it is imperative that the capability to have more than two tracking categories. As I'm sure you are aware, QuickBooks allows unlimited departments.

We have couple of brand that we work with numerous creators and their project. With the current limitation in the tracking categories we have to create several creator-projectors combination which is a bit taxing. If we would have some more tracking categories, it would be help ful.

Supporting this idea. Having more than 2 tracking categories would be great and also unlimited items instead of 100.

I'd like at least 3 tracking categories as well. I work solely with charity and not-for-profit clients and sometimes we need that extra one. Also, with restricted funds we are getting close to using the 100 items and could really do with unlimited because there is often the need to go back and look at information, and so we can't re-use archived items.

We have intended to switch to Xero but is limited by the number of categories.
Do let us know if Xero has upgraded to tracking category more than 2
