Absolutely critical

Very Important! We require this feature to be able to combine different service lines under separate GL accounts into one line on an invoice for the customer to see.

We manufacture products. Inventory management is really annoying without this feature. If it isn't resolved soon we are moving to software that can.

We have contractors and also internal labour, and would like to split their revenue on the invoice between accounts, but not to show this on the invoice.
eg
Sales - internal labour hours
Sales - contract labour hours

invoice shows:

Labour Hours

I often manufacture products for sale as a whole item that consist of a number of parts, individually manufactured by me, or purchased. But the final product is sold as one whole unit. Thus the ability to sell an assembly, and to make the transactions necessary to consume inventory that goes into making that assembly is vitally important to me as a 3D printer.

We will have to move away from Xero if this feature isn't available soon.

I've been a Xero user for a couple of years now but assembled product inventory is a pain. Will see if MYOB helps.

Looking to MYOB and using their Build feature. Would be ideal if similar created in Xero

being able to create mixed case items which are a combination of the various items we sell would be so much more time saving and would strike me as an enormously easy piece of dev work to create.

I run a one-person business. Product is assembled from multiple sub-items before being sold in a make-to-order process. Key to managing the inventory is being able to assign sub-items to the product so that when the product is sold, inventory for the sub-items is automatically adjusted. QuickBooks supports this in a basic sense using a concept called "bundles". When you assign items to a "bundle", selling the bundle results in inventory adjustment for all the individual items and only the top level bundle item appears on the invoice. It would make Xero infinitely more useful if this process could be implemented. It is a major step towards more complete BOM management.

Please let us know if this will be added, otherwise we will switch to quickbooks at our year end

Xero needs to find an easy way for us to do what should be a simple process. There is no point is paying out for a full inventory management system if you only have a few components and a small number of SKUs.
Unfortunately Xero is unlikely to listen.

considering switching back to quickbooks - it would be such a simple thing to add into xero - I just need to be able to define the quantities of individual components used in each product. Having to do it all manually with production invoices is really annoying and a waste of time.

Quickbooks also has this feature and it's one that we need in Xero.

This is a simple feature that is available in MYOB but not in xero.
It wouldnt be hard to implement - even by adding this into the adjust inventory section to allow to move multiple inventory items at once to offset each other.
Not rocket science!

This is especially important for small scale business with lateral inventory movements, i.e. between warehouses

Please add this feature! We are looking at changing to MOYB for this reason which is frustrating because moving across will be extremely time consuming.

We are a manufacturing company that makes large robotic tractors. Each tractor has sub parts such as the bonnet, front chassis, and rear chassis. But each sub part has hundreds of parts that are welded and machined together.

Right now owe can't properly track our inventory at all. We can track inventory into the business but not out because XERO requires every line item on the invoice in order to realise inventory stock has decreased.
As you can tell with thousands of parts an invoice that recorded every part would be pages long. All we want to give our customer is a clean easy to read invoice that can say 2 tractors, or 4 bonnets and 2 front chassis and this is exactly what we do. However, this does not allow us to record the decrease of inventory.

Secondly, having the ability to reserve inventory (inventory in-use) when allocated to a project would also be HIGHLY helpful. Rather than waiting till the end once a job is invoiced and the inventory count is decreased. That way owe can see what stock is already allocated for and how much more we need to order.

Zoho has this. Its called composite items. Cant believe Xero does not have this yet.

For each Task we can select a sub task to break down the task hours into the different actions to complete the task. e.g. Task = Installation, sub tasks = External and sub task = Internal. We can then see the total cost of the installation and break it down to external and internal for costing future works.

It would be really useful to be able to create subtasks under tasks as for some of our contracts staff will be carrying out the same task but charged under deifferent charge rates depending on their experience/qualifications, etc.

For example Joe Bloggs and Jenny Block carried out survey work but Joe is a surveyor and Jenny is a trainee so the rates will be charged to client differently.
