This could either be a global inventory setting or set at individual item level.
This is critical for businesses who sell the goods before they get the invoice from the supplier. -

We also need this! We are getting a sync error when Shopify try's to send back orders to Xero as Xero will not accept invoices for products that aren't in stock. Ridiculous that Xero can't support basic e-commerce requirements.

This is critical for us. We need this function and aren't able to use the inventory tracking correctly without it. Additionally, we need to be able to send quotes for items that we don't have in inventory. We purchase the items from our vendors after we have a signed quote and rarely keep inventory on hand. Additionally, we often have to have an invoice submitted and paid before we can order hardware from vendors. Being able to go into negative inventory would vastly improve how we can use Xero.

cannot use the stock without the ability to allow for negative stock due to back orders being common place

Ability to sell an item below Zero when using tracked inventory
Purpose: Users can send an invoice to their customers when it’s 0 or below. So they can secure the deposit from the customer.
