VERY CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT

Create Kits or Group - I often provide a service made up of numeros materials / labour items. I do not want to show the client the detail. Just a Title / Unit Value & Rate. So for example. Installing a new plug socket. I just want to show - "New socket" but the value that is shown comes from Labour / Materials / Mileage / Miscallanious items. All these will sit in a Kit Group. The Kit name will be New Socket, but the cost and retail price of the kit will come from the build up of Labour / Materials / Mileage / Miscallanious items.

I have responded to the questionnaire, I will use this straight away if offered.

How can we add more attributes for products? Like a category of products or color or size?

We are a retail food outlet and the simple task of tracking stock items that are sold as a bundle is missing from Xero. We sell PACKS eg. Tropical pack, seniors pack, kids pack at a discount to the individual items. If we sell a pack, we cannot track the stock reduction of the items in that pack. Even if we put the items in separately at the register to track the stock levels, this charges the customer the normal price, and is very time consuming for the staff. PLEASE provide an update on the development of this feature as we will be going to another provider if it's not fixed soon. 5 years of requests is ridiculous for a standard feature, that was also part of the business Xero purchased 3 years ago (LOCATE).

This would be very useful whether tracked or untracked. We provide services and it makes a very longwinded invoice when you have to list all those services out individually when you could just say you have this package that includes these services and still get the detailed reporting for your costings and usage.

Yeah I'm also looking other accounting software to move away from Xero. They told me they "technically" only support invoices for 10 line items. We produce bundles and had to do it a very long winded way to make it easier for the customer to understand but with excess effort for the dev team using Xero.
The new invoice layout is not fit for purpose either.

Any recommendations of other software that supports MTD and bundles is greatly appreciated.

We are going to have to move away from xero because of the lack of this functionality too

We only sell bundles of products. Our products all have a buy and sell price and so we have to maintain a separate spreadsheet for our bundles and constantly recalculate and update the buy and sell price of our bundles.

This is always changing and we don't update, so our reports don't tell us how profitable a piece of work is. We're looking at PowerBI now to do what we think should be achievable within Xero.

I can see the lack of this feature being the reason we end up switching to another accounting system as Xero won't scale as our business grows

Yes please. Crucial to have. Thanks

This is an important feature of any inventory/accounting system. Great the xero take submissions from this forum seriously & act accordingly. I note reqquests for this feature back as far as May 2022, its now September 2024. Presumably this feature will be rolled out in the next update

i'm trying to set xero up for a veterinary practice (All the practice management software that i tried has very little accounting functionality)
So a feature such as this will help a great deal. I'm actually surprised that its not a standard feature.

Combo packages as in the required ladies, lawn mower lady weed eater lady trimmer lady and the rakers

Im bundling individual products for kits and party bags.

It’s very hard to track inventory when there’s no feature for this.

Having an inventory module without this functionality is like using a bucket that leaks from a hole in the bottom.
Come on Xero, take this one to the top of the pile

Does anyone from Xero even read these? It is like they gave us a forum to just vent about all the small things they refuse to address.

Imperative.

It is imperative that this feature be added to the current system in order to benefit all parties involved. FML

Desperatly need the option to track sales for individual items that are sold together as a bundle

Yes this is required of a Market Leader
