Inventory Plus - Roll out Xero Inventory Plus to all countries
As a Group Financial Administrator at an IT company operating in South Africa, I am writing to request the expansion of Xero Inventory Plus to regions outside the US.

Suggested Features to Prioritize:
- FIFO and batch/serial tracking
- Multi-location inventory management
- Barcode scanning and sticker generation
- Real-time inventory valuation and reporting
Business Impact:
Rolling out Inventory Plus globally would empower businesses like ours to:
- Improve inventory accuracy and reduce losses
- Enhance financial reporting and…

Inventory - Stock count to show active/draft invoices assigned to item
It would be great if the inventory levels showed both items in active quotes and in draft invoice. displayed when clicking on your stock items it currently shows several info line, an additional line similar to the "in committed quote" option but also in active/draft invoices. this will give a more live feed into what stock has been booked out.

We'll move this idea to gain more support from the team. In the mean time feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues who might also benefit from this feature! We'll monitor this space for any further updates.

Inventory - Ability to add more inventory fields
Could inventory item fields be increased to allow extra information to be added.
This would be extremely useful to be able to add data such as: Item Weight; Alternative item/part number; Purchase and Sell currency - we buy in one currency and sell in another, would be useful to see this clearly; Specification data - keeping this distinct from description is very useful.12 votesHi Paolo, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Inventory Report - Report to show price increases
Need a report option to show price increases on products and services purchased and sold please
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea, and for taking the time to explain how helpful this would be 🌟

Users Role - Granular permission to view Inventory quantities without Costs
manage permission - I would need my crew to see inventory quantity without seeing the cost.
10 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this. It’s clear that being able to show stock on hand without exposing cost price is important for many teams. Right now, the lack of that level of permission control can mean choosing between giving staff the visibility they need and protecting sensitive financial information.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product teams how valuable a dedicated permission toggle would be. Please keep sharing your use cases and voting—this context really helps demonstrate the impact.

Inventory - Bulk adjustment should allow changes in value and quantity
Mass adjustments should include the ability to increase quantity as well as value - when we run production I currently have to do this one by one or create a bill to bring in the stock, it would be great to be able to bring in production through an adjustment
Adjustments should show the stock level as at date of the adjustment as we there is always movement between when we do stock count to when we process the count on Xero - hence there is the need to perform an additional recon to current stock levels in order to…
7 votesAppreciate you sharing this idea. We understand you’re looking for a more efficient way to update inventory when both quantities and values need adjusting.
The suggestion is to allow both stock count and asset value to be updated together in a bulk inventory adjustment, reducing the need for separate entries.
For now, quantity adjustments and value changes can be managed separately to keep inventory records accurate. We'll continue to track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving bulk inventory adjustments.

Inventory - More Inventory History
Please allow for more history of inventory items. Sometimes it is easier to look up an item to find latest bill to see last price paid to vendor. As it is now item history only allows one to see +/- 30 transactions. It would be nice to have the option to see more than this. Other areas of Xero allow for this option.

Inventory - Preview new SKU when importing invoices with new item
When I import invoices from a CSV, they can often be really big (900-1500 lines). It tells me if I am going to create a new item. It would be helpful if it would tell me which SKU it is going to create so that I can go to my CSV and check if it is actually a new item or if there is just a typo in one of my SKUs.
2 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us 😊
We can see how helpful it would be to know exactly which SKU or item code Xero is about to create when importing invoices from a CSV, especially when you're working with large files and want to quickly spot any typos before completing the import.

Add Product Cost Field to Product Card
There's current a price the product is sold at, but not a cost we purchase it at. Adding this field would set the cost (pre-populate) on a PO when ordered, which could be overridden on a PO if needed.

Inventory - Increase item code character limit
Increase the character limit for product/item codes from 30 to at least 50.
Our suppliers use a minimum of 8 characters, up to 12 characters. We use 4 suppliers regularly, which all use different SKU's; This means we can have 36 characters for standard products, even more if there is a supplier we don't purchase too regularly from or if there are 2+ similar products that get grouped under one item.

Option on Bills to allow businesses to make Tracked Inventory unavailable until the Due Date of the Bill has passed
Add the option on Bills to allow businesses to make Tracked Inventory available upon creation of Bill, or unavailable until the Due Date (or available date) of the Bill has passed.
This new option would help businesses manage available inventory when selling products with long production lead-times, so they do not sell inventory that is not yet available despite it being in the system in a future dated Bill.
Additionally, it would be beneficial if Sales Invoices could access the Tracked Inventory from the future dated Bill if the date of the invoice was after the due date (or available…

Inventory - Add new item from an existing Invoice or Quote line
It would be great to be able to add a new product or service to the inventory list directly from a quote or invoice. So if a new product or service was entered into a quote or invoice (with price and account details etc) or it was already added, there could be an option to 'add item to Products and Services' when clicking in the 'Item' area on the left. This would save having to go into Products and Services to add those which may already exist. Please see very crude example attached.
As a separate suggestion, it would also…

Inventory cost price
Auto update last cost price when entering from last bill/receipt received (irrespective of Inventorised or not), not having to manually go to item & update, should be automatic.
It makes double handling to ensure the correct prices is showing on the item.
Should also have to option of additional columns so show who the supplier was rather having to click into the bill.
Then the correct price will auto populate into purchase orders. Then if want an average you run a report.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Inventory - Add additional information to the Inventory Item List report
Inventory Item List.
Included in this report is the unit cost which is manually set. Would it also be possible to please add another cost field to the report ? I would like to see the last PO unit cost. Any variance would be used to update the unit cost if in NZD

Inventory - Calculating return on investment (ROI)
For businesses who have invested in equipment and generate an income from the hire or use of the equipment. The ability to calculate (through analytics or a report) the % 'Return On Investment'.
The data is already in Xero (cost of good/equipment purchased VS total sales), just needs a simple way to display this info and calculated in a % and/or just view the data simply and easily.
Currently have to create your own Excel spreadsheet and input that data from Xero manually. Seems a simple report/statistic to generate and would be incredibly useful for business who need to know…6 votesHi Simon, it's great to hear how automated ROI calculations would help your business.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining support, which means others in the community can now vote, comment, and share how this would benefit them too. The more perspectives added, the clearer the picture for our product team, so feel free to expand on your workflow to help spark that conversation.

Thanks for getting the discussion started and we’ll keep you updated on any progress.

Bulk stock adjustment - add location
The bulk stock adjustment feature is great.
Can we please have an option to process against a location?
This would help with having adjustments of stock with same product codes in different locations. Profit and loss by location reports would be more accurate in Xero.
Currently we have no option to report location profitability without exporting to excel and manually entering the expense code against particular locations.Thanks

XIP - Modify "Available Inventory" Column on Sales Orders Fulfillment
Currently, it just says "Available" or "Unavailable" which doesn't tell you much. Instead, it should put the ETA date based on POs if the material is on an open purchase order for the product on the Sales Order.
Additional detail: In XIP, when you go to Sales > Fulfillment, it'd be extremely useful to modify the "Available Inventory" column. Based on common practices in other inventory management systems, there would be three statuses: In stock Out of Stock (displayed when no inventory is in stock to fulfill the sales order) Partially in Stock (displayed when some inventory is in stock,…

Tracked inventory - Add opening stock when creating new item
When entering a new stock item, there isn't an opening to enter opening stock.
We need to create the item first then enter the quantities in an adjustment tab.
It makes sense to make adjustments to items already created, but surely we should be able enter an opening stock value when creating an item, this would save us a lot of time.15 votesHi, thanks for sharing this idea about setting the opening stock for a tracked item at the same time you add it.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea with their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.
As for how this is currently done, as well as setting the item's starting Quantity on Hand, there needs to be an accounting record for where the existing Value comes from.
The current process is to add the item(s) as Tracked and then either:
- Importing the opening balances for your tracked items. *This option is only for when you first start using Tracked Inventory in your organisation*.
- Entering an approving a Supplier Bill to record the first purchase of the item.
- Entering an Adjustment (Increase Quantity-type) to move the value from another account (the adjustment account) to the Inventory Asset Account.

Inventory - Set default prices with tax inclusive/exclusive treatment
I have entered selling prices excluding GST but have noticed that some personnel have been invoicing inc GST yet xero hasn't adjusted the price of the item to add 10%. I need the item price to be the same either way of invoicing.
Can we make this happen some how ? so the price of the item is the same either way. MYOB manages to adjust it, you just set the price as either including or excluding and it adjusts it automatically when charged out. Maybe Xero should aim to improve this aspect of the program.
7 votesHi Kelly
Thanks for this suggestion. You're right that currently the tax inclusive/exclusive setting on the invoice would change the overall invoice total.

Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.
In the meantime, you might want to tell all staff to enter invoices with the same tax treatment, to avoid accidentally under/overcharging for the same item. If you create all invoices on a tax-inclusive basis, you can enter the default sales price for your items including GST. Otherwise, you would need to enter the prices excluding GST.
