New Invoicing - Show stock level when adding a Tracked inventory item
When typing a quote, available stock used to show (when you typed a figure in the "quantity" field (if available stock was less than required the open window would turn red) but it doesn't now. It would be great if this feature were also added to invoices (and quotations as before) so that one didn't need to check stock on a different page for each item being invoiced. I note that it shows when typing a credit note, so it must be possible!
Hi team, thanks for your contribution and sharing with us on your use of being able to see levels of stock when invoicing. Right now, our team are developing improvements to the line item grid in new invoicing, where you enter detail of your invoices. This work also involves providing visibility of your tracked inventory stock on hand so you know how many items you have to sell.
For now we'll move to working on it and I'll keep you updated of when this is released in new invoicing.

This feature is important to our business also. It's time consuming, often when a customer is standing there, trying to fix the stock levels, to produce their Tax Invoice. Please bring this feature back.

Hi Team Xero,
I am going to hold off switching to the new style of invoice, in the hope that the stock level features on the classic invoicing is carried over. The feature I am talking about is the black pop up telling you the inventory level, and the red pop up if that item is out of stock. These features are key - particularly with some staff not having access to the Business Tab and Products and Services to check stock.
I note the stock levels are still available on the App when creating new invoices.

I too was very disappointed when the available stock feature was removed when switching to the new invoicing. This is absolutely critical for our business and saved a lot of time and headaches. I desperately need this feature back please!

I was very disappointed when the available stock feature was removed when Xero switched to new invoicing. Seeing the available stock was a very useful tool and I would like to see this back.

Now that "Classic Invoicing" is being switched off, the inclusion of this feature on the new invoicing screen is even more important.
Please advise!
(I note that Xero have not made ANY comments thus far......) -

Please put available stock into the new invoicing option. This will save a lot of time when creating a new invoice.
It was an extremely useful feature and something that definitely should have been carried over with the new invoicing. -

Show stock level on new invoicing. Have to open another tab to check stock when issuing invoice. Otherwise, have to revert to classic invoicing to issue invoices for tracked inventory. Waste of time.

Please put the available stock back in to save switching to classic for each invoice. Its a major hassle.

When a draft invoice has a stock item selected as a line item, and that item has quantity tracked, you should show the current Stock On Hand quantity (perhaps in a pop-up bubble) either when it is selected, or when the quantity is entered on the draft invoice so that you know in advance if you have enough of that item in Xero.
At the moment, there is no indication and when the invoice is approved it simply reverts to draft WITHOUT advising WHY. If there are 10 line items EACH ONE needs to be checked until the culprit is found which is frustrating and time-wasting. -

SHOW INVENTORY ON HAND - On classic invoicing format, the inventory on hand shows when I click on 'Quantity' field. On the new invoicing format, it will not show the inventory on hand when I click 'Quantity' field. Yet when doing a Quote, it shows the inventory on hand.

We recently switched from classic invoicing to new invoicing to take advantage of the new packing slip feature. But I've found that the New Invoicing doesn't show the current stock level for products being invoiced when you put your curser over the quantity. This was a very useful tool for keeping on eye on live stock levels under classic invoicing. It's possible to switch back and forth between classic and new invoicing but such a useful tool should be carried over and be part of New Invoicing.

We like the New Invoice format, but prefer the Classic version when entering quantities. The Classic version advises the quantity you have on hand - the New Invoice format doesn't do this.
Would be nice to have this feature in the New Invoice format.

PLEASE bring this back. It worked in Quotes and Invoices. Now it's just... Gone. You have to submit an invoice to get the stock failure instead of immediately knowing the item is out (and suggest an alternative)
