Enter your idea

Disappointing email today that adding a quantity column is not in the pipeline considering you keep fixing things that ain't broke. Theres a Toowoomba based company working on new full cloud ag product that handles quantities and fuel tax credits (hint: has **nix in the name) so may suit our clients better than Xero.

Hand-balled here from the other terminated product idea. No doubt they'll let this idea hang for 5 to 10 years and then terminate it too.
What I'd give to be able to report quantities on ledger reports, a basic functionality 101 fail.

Quantity columns are such a basic requirement. They should be standard in all accounting programmes. Like Paul, I have moved to this idea as you have decided to abolish the idea for standard reports. Is livestock reporting any different and are you just going to abolish it anyway. An idea that is already 3 years old is unlikely to progress - am I right?

I'm posting this here because you closed the comments on idea "Reports - Add quantity column to reports" as 'Not in Pipeline'

@Kelly Munro, what is the point of this Product Ideas forum if you basically ignore any suggestion that isn't already on your roadmap???

I'd tell you where to go, but that would just get my comment flagged and deleted...

This is a basic function that MYOB did well 15+ years ago. Xero livestock is very clunky and there is a lot of room for errors as it is painfully a manual process.

WE NEED A LIVESTOCK TRADING STATMENT TEMPLATE!!!

At present Xero is not user friendly for our farming clients

I am surprised this isn't already a function available in Xero. Surely so many users would find this of a huge benefit!

As a tax accountant preparing financials for farmers - this is a pretty basic report. If Xero wants to hold itself out as being useful to accountants, providing basic reports should be a part of the deal.

Agree, we have clients with stud horses, and its just a nightmare, with stock numbers etc
Not small farm friendly at all, figured is not always suitable or cost effective for small guys

As a work around our office imports these numbers into a budget created just for the livestock schedule. The result being you can load that budget column into the reports and have other formulas driven from it. Not perfect but better than using manual data fields in the report.

I agree

Thank you Brendan - this has been a weakness that we noticed since we moved accross to Xero. The livestock schedule as a whole is weak.

Our annual financial statements show the quantities of Milk Solids and Livestock, so we have to manually enter these.

Enable the import of the quantity column into XPA for Milks Solids and Livestock
