General Ledger (detailed) - Quantity column

Hi there, would be awesome to be able to have a column in the detailed general ledger which has the quantities from what you entered in the quantity column when you reconcile the transactions. This is especially important when figured is used with Xero. As it takes a lot of time to go into each transaction and see what the stock quantities are to get the group total.

Hi everyone, we hear your feedback about how viewing quantity within the General Ledger report could help when reviewing transactions. While not specifically within the General Ledger there are a few different reports that can currently be run and may help with this review;

  • Inventory Item Details – view quantity on hand of tracked inventory items
  • Inventory Item Summary – see quantities purchased and sold for all items, including opening, closing, and adjusted quantities for tracked items
  • Sales by Item report – shows quantities sold for inventory items
  • Payable Invoice Details report – shows quantities purchased for all line items
  • Receivable Invoice Details report – shows quantities sold for all line items

We’ve reviewed this idea but want to be upfront that there aren’t plans in the near term to add quantity as a column to the General Ledger Detailed report.

We’ll keep an eye on the interest this idea continues to build here. If anything changes, we’ll post an update on this thread.

    Cannot believe that there is NO WAY to get Quantities out of Xero as a report. Why do they even have it as a data entry column!!!

    A new Xero user and going from having the quantity facility in my last programme to not having it here is a huge backward step and it really needs to be added as a standard.

    A Quantity Column would be great for anyone. We enter quantities for labour, purchases, sales, etc and don't need to use inventory but to be able to produce a report that at a glance tells us how many hours have been charged on a sale without going to the actual invoice would be effficient.
