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.
Our business relies heavily on accurate, real-time inventory tracking across multiple locations, and we currently face limitations due to the unavailability of Inventory Plus in our region.
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 - 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.18 votesHi Paolo, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We will move this idea to gain more support from the community and monitor for traction. Cheers!

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.
19 votesThanks for sharing your idea here Terrence. Can appreciate how this would be useful for other users wanting to know which quotes or invoices have the items assigned to get a better idea. 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 - Specific Services/Job/Tracking option
Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.
For example:
In products and services - have standard services set up
When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)
Reporting on…6 votesThanks for sharing this idea.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers who need a lighter service-tracking workflow can find it and add their vote.
For now, there are a couple of workarounds depending on what you need. If you mainly want reusable service items, you can set these up as untracked inventory in Products & Services and use them to prefill invoice details for services you provide regularly. If you need to track time or tasks and invoice that work later, Xero Projects can already track time and expenses and create tasks and expenses invoices for uninvoiced work, although we appreciate this may feel more in-depth than the simple workflow you’re asking for.
Thanks again for taking the time to share how this could work better for your business 😊.

Inventory Report - Report to show price increases
Need a report option to show price increases on products and services purchased and sold please
7 votesThanks for sharing this idea, and for taking the time to explain how helpful this would be 🌟
We can see the value in having a report that helps track product price increases over time, especially when it would make it easier to review pricing changes and understand what’s been charged across different transactions.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so it can gather feedback from other community members too. Along with votes, others can now comment and share more detail about how this would improve their experience in Xero.

Update of prices when adding a bill
When creating a bill, if adding a previously created inventory item it pre fills cost price from when it was last amended. It would be great if we had the option to update the new cost price as the bill was created.

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.

Item - more detail
Having more optional field in the item cards .. i.e format of the item (for food products), possible vendors, pricing options

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.
We've reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support so other community members can vote on it and share how this would improve their experience too.

Inventory - Apply tracking categories on bulk stock adjustments
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
2 votesHi Carol, thanks for sharing this idea and the context behind it.
We can see how being able to apply tracking categories when processing bulk stock adjustments could help businesses maintain more consistent reporting across locations, departments, or other tracking category structures.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how this capability could support inventory management and reporting workflows.
Please keep adding your votes and sharing more detail on how you'd use this in practice.

add average price in inventory summary report
Because we sell experiences through multiple sales channels, the price of the same product can vary depending on where it is purchased and any discounts applied.
It would be very helpful if this report could include the average selling price for each item based on the selected date range.
If possible, I'd also like to see either:
the average discount applied per item, or
the total discount amount given for each item during the selected period.This would allow us to better understand our actual average selling price and the impact of discounts across different sales channels.

XIP - Add Product Cost Field to Product Details
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.
2 votesHi Ryan, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We can understand why having a dedicated product cost field within Xero Inventory Plus could be useful, particularly for quickly reviewing costs and managing pricing across your products.
At the moment, XIP doesn't offer a dedicated cost price field within product details. As you may have found, when creating a purchase order, the Unit Cost field is automatically populated using the item's most recent purchase cost.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how a dedicated cost field could support your inventory management workflows.

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 - 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.

Inventory - Ability to set more criteria of when inventory is recognised / available for sale
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…
1 voteHi Benjamin, appreciate your response and providing more information about your idea from our last update. Understand how you're asking for more rules/criteria to enable your business more control over when tracked inventory can be sold.
I'll re-open your idea here so we can get a wider sense of the interest from community, however want to be open that we don't have plans for developing this at this time. If there are any updates we'll share with you here.

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.
In the meantime, the best way to calculate ROI is to pull the relevant figures from the Xero Analytics dashboard and work it out manually.
Thanks for getting the discussion started and we’ll keep you updated on any progress.
