Enter your idea

It is extremely common when re-selling goods, that a purchase of inventory is made in one unit of quantity, but when sold a smaller unit of quantity is used.
For example, you might purchase 1 whole box of something containing say 10 units, but sell the units in the contained units. For example, I buy plastic filament by the roll, containing a qty of N Kg, but when its placed on a customer invoice or quote, the qty is in grams. I buy by the Kg, and Sell by the gram. But others might buy ONE box of screws containing 100 of them, The purchase price is $$ PER BOX. I currently enter in the sale quantity, and divide the purchase price by the number of units, but, due to mathematical precision of only 3 decimal places, the price calculates incorrectly, and I have to adjust it later.
So, the suggestion is to make Billing or "Buy Now" transactions with two quantity columns, one being the quantity purchased (linked directly / to the exactly purchase price), and the second column being the qty available for sale, and this is what is tracked in Inventory. The unit of sale and its devolved price is used for Quote, Project and Invoice transactions.

I desperately need a line second quantity or 'multiplier' field. When I quote, most services have both hours and a quantity multiplier. For example... '6 lots of 8 hours @ £100/hour'

If you sell stuff; you have a unit price and a quantity.
I hire stuff. I have a unit price, a quantity, and a time duration.
However Xero only provides for two columns not three.
I have approached Xero numerous times, but they have no answer and gumption.

Everything on Xero is priced per each. This can complicate things when you are selling hundreds and thousands of a product. It would be great if you could choose your unit of pricing, each would still be there but also per hundred and per thousand..

I do not want to lose a client to other "greener" apps... so please add a multiplier column - between Quantity & Price - where a pre-set product has a standard configuration to show the configuration on the face of the invoice. The multiplier amount could also maybe be an input cell if not pre-populated and this can also be only available to non-tracked inventory if that will be an issue at first.

For example a flower grower selling into an export market sells boxes of flowers with configurations of 300 / 400 / 500 stems per box.They want to see on the face of the printed invoice, for example: 5 boxes x 300 stems x $4 = $6000.

See the picture attached as a similar example.

We could definitely use a UOM column as we invoice in either metres or m2, and the only way to identify this for our clients is to add it manually in the description. Surely it's not that hard to implement!!

It will be very helpful if UOM is included or an extra column in the invoice for services and even manufacturing sector.

We invoice in Units of Minutes (6 minute blocks) like most lawyers etc.

It can be confusing to our clients when they see units as a percentage of units rather than the minute units /cost per hour

This has been requested for over 10 years. It's not hard to implement. Why can't someone from Xero come here and explain your downright belligerence and contempt for customers. It can't be any other reason to not implement, or is it downright incompetence?

Have Time/Hours instead of Quantity for professional services

The weight field can be included into the packing slip and serve as a shipping document - such that can be used when booking for courier and also for customs purposes. Combined Invoice template with a customised packing slip template can be design to include those fields.

This is essential for trading companies.

Wasting our time. Requested this years ago. Better to move to D365 or SAPB1 if you require these basic features. Xero footprint is limited to cashbook accounting, no real depth around Sales and Distribution.

There's a few basic features not available in xero and it's very surprising. No idea what the development team are doing. I would consider moving for basic features like this. A lot of people need weight calculation for airfreight.

Even a simple development task of associating custom product pricing is not even there but is with quick books. I'm a software engineer and IMO it's not ground breaking task to add pricing for products per customer. Given that it just show poor process

This is such a basic and quick add to the code. I'm very confused why such a necessary feature isn't a thing yet.

Can this be added as soon as possible? We need to track materials we purchase and their weight so we can record our Co2 emmissions

Plz add asap.

Helps estimate weight for shipping costs for airfreight and sea frieght

UOM is essential for collecting environmental data - is there any update on this field becoming available please?
