Hi team, we know some of our customers find using inventory(Products and Services) in Xero a little restrictive atm. Related to the idea here - Exploring the ability to record negative inventory, or back order of stock in Xero is in our product teams plans. They have a bits of work to get through first, but we'll shift this idea to Under review and keep you updated when this progresses.

    Agreed. it's simply ludicrous that negative inventory is not allowed as it's preventing us from syncing back orders from Shopify to Xero, this feature is absolutely critical.

    we need to reconcile some orders that are out of stock (has back order)

  • Brynton Fennell commented  ·   ·  Report

    We get a number of purchase orders for a large number of an item, for which we do partial deliveries as time progresses.

    Currently there is no system that we are aware of for capturing this.

    Clients rely on accounting for backorders. Crucial to have it included as an option before they move onto a different platform

  • Dan Webster commented  ·   ·  Report

    A lot of ecommerce sites don't manage inventory for every product, instead relying on backordering products when they are ordered. This causes issues when trying to sync order invoices to Xero as it requires there to be stock on hand in Xero. Backorder inventory would solve this problem.

    When dealing with stock quantities that have - say - been invoiced at the wrong price to us, we need to be able to back them out at a price and re-enter at a price without mucking up the quantity (ie 100 tonnes of wheat at $250 versus 100 tonnes of wheat at $320. Dont want to add another 100 tonnes of wheat at $70 to ge the $ right as the quantity will then be wrong. Need the whole transaction to be 100 tonnes at ($250) and 100 tonnes at $320. Makes it so much more traceable with the customer.

    Being able to enter negative quantities.

    Purpose: Allowing negative quantities makes more transparency when sending invoices to customers.
