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 was a really thoughtless move.
Forcing us to switch to a new, incomplete template is highly disruptive. Displaying stock is critical for our business.
Also i personally dont like new template .

This feature is absolutely critical to our business. I don't understand why you're pushing new invoicing on us when it is missing critical features. Shame on you.

I am at a loss as to why you would force these new changes on us today when this crucial feature has not been fixed. Seriously Xero - you are going to have customers looking into new accounting software packages with the ridiculous changes being made. Why are you not listening to your customers???

Only 2 days until classic invoicing is retiring. Any updates on when this feature would be added back to new invoicing?

In the classic invoicing when tab on the qty line, it showed the qty on hand for that specific item.
Is it possible to bring that in to the new invoicing?In our business we use that a lot as we have the same product but with different codes and qty on hand and need to see the qty when doing the invoice (it will be very difficult to do invoicing for us without that popup in the qty line)
We would LOVE if you will be able to add that.
PLEASE :) :) -

Hi Kelly, can you please at least confirm this will be in the new invoicing by November?
Many thanks

We received a message from Xero stating that the new invoice features "Easier inventory management, including the ability to... view stock on hand in the Quantity cell for tracked inventory." However, this feature does not seem to yet be available when I switch to the new invoicing. Can you confirm this feature is in fact being rolled out in production?

It is mind boggling to me that you are a few months away from forcing this new invoicing on all of us and you are still "working on" all these basic features we used to have. The new invoicing should have at a minimum had all the features from current invoicing before making any "improvements". Much less it being mandatory.

hi there, the new version of Xero is making the life harder.
When creating invoice and Click on the QTY, it would show the quantity we have in stock in the classic.
Now it does not work any more. So how would the new version better than the classic , and i can tell so many user been complaining the layout of the new version cheers -
Ken McKeon commented
It is in new quotes and credit notes. Why on earth isn't in the new invoicing?
If this does not make it in back in soon I will be leaving Xero.

I agree with the comments below. We shouldn't be forced to use new invoicing when it doesn't suit our needs.

Rachel Osborn commented
Hi Kelly,
Great to see you are listening to your users.
Please don't force us into the new invoicing until this current functionality is live.
Ideally you should release this in the beta version you are running now, so those of us who use tracked inventory can experience the new version to check there isn't anything else you guys have missed before you roll out the new version.
Many thanks,
Rachel -

Customer does not want to go to New Invoicing because it's time consuming having to check if stock is available and then process the order. Classic Invoicing already does this so why can't New Invoicing do the same.

Andrew Syme commented
In the Item Dropdown List show not only the Sale Price, but also the current Quantity On Hand for Tracked Items.

Karin Copestake commented
I agree with the comments, this feature is important, please do not remove old invoicing on till this feature is available on new invoicing. It doesn't make sense to reduce functionality while increasing fees.
-
Tom McCarthy commented
It makes no sense to take away this crucial feature, as many others have also stated in the comments. We can't see if there is enough stock prior to hitting approve now and will have to check each stock item line by line in a separate tab when performing sales invoicing. This is a critical component of using tracked inventory and is a backwards step that leaves your users in a pickle (as invoicing will take 3 times as long now). This is in no way an "improvement" and your logic makes no sense. Also it seems that any "new" features you have "added" were already available before, but you have just moved them to a different part of the screen.

Liz Patterson commented
Just backing up previous comments. This feature is not 'useful' it is critical to many of us.
Please extend the change over date if this cannot be included before you retire the classic version. -
Sam Bevis commented
Also adding weight - we need this.
