Hi team, I’m pleased to share that backorders capability ( https://central.xero.com/s/article/About-backorders-for-tracked-inventory?userregion=true ) is now in the process of rolling out to customers.

Once available in your org, you’ll be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn’t enough available stock.

Your available stock will be allocated first, with the remaining quantity placed on backorder. As stock comes in it’ll be automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.

You’ll also see clearer inventory visibility through available quantity and backorder indicators in both your invoicing and inventory experience.

We’ll keep monitoring feedback as availability expands, and I’ll return to share another update once this is available to all users. Thanks!

As noted in our last update, work for negative inventory ( https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/45048487-inventory-allow-negative-stock-on-hand ) is in progress, and our team are looking at how this flow works through to sales invoices for backorders. We’ll share more as soon as there’s news.

Hi team, we know some of our customers find using inventory(Products and Services) in Xero a little restrictive atm. Related to the idea here – Exploring the ability to record negative inventory, or back order of stock in Xero is in our product teams plans. They have a bits of work to get through first, but we’ll shift this idea to Under review and keep you updated when this progresses.
