I have a client who makes his own items then sends his customers the items on consignment. They only pay him for the items once they have sold from their stores. He currently sends an invoice with all the items, because there is no sales order in Xero, to send as a packing slip, but invoice parts only. Like there is a Purchase Order where now parts can be billed, there needs to be a sales order so parts can be invoiced. Then you convert any finalised items to the invoice, leaving the rest behind on the sales order ready as a backorder for future sales. This has been a feature in MYOB for years. (I was gutted when I asked your AI about this and it told me about XIP. I opened the link referring to Sales Orders and I was thrilled... until I discovered this is only available in US and not NZ!)
