  1. Products & services - Ability to group items

    I'd like categories for my products and services
    ie: tees, hoodies, pants etc
    So I can click into the hoodie category and see all the hoodies I have

    Hi community, thanks for your engagement and explaining here how grouping products and services would help make managing products and services in your business easier.

    We're currently working on product categories that'll let you create and assign categories to products or services individually or in bulk.

    You'll be able to show the category column and filter by categories from the products and services list page, include these in import and exports and ben able to group and filter by categories in some inventory reports. 🥳

    I'll round back to share when this feature starts rolling out!

  2. Inventory - Add a Description column or preview to the Products and Services list

    The option to view the product descriptions when in the Product and Services list should already be a feature.

    Many of our products have an abbreviated item name, with the description containing the expanded product information. Opening individual products to view the description takes a significant amount of time as we have over 1,500 items.

    It is also the product description, not the product item name, that appears on invoices to customers, so it only makes sense to be able to view the descriptions from the P&S list.

    Hi Community! 👋

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m happy to share that this is now in development.

    With this update, you’ll be able to choose whether to show or hide the sell and purchase description column on the Products and services list page.

    I’ll circle back here again once the change has rolled out. 🙂🙏
