90% of our business requires invoicing for parts prior to them being ordered for a customer due to the nature of the parts. This feature would be hugely beneficial to us. Hopefully xero implement it soon, we'd be happy to trial it for them

Yes I asked for this THREE YEARS AGO! And I was not the first by a long shot.
Xero have been ridiculously slow implementing what is a very common business requirement in todays business world, and I can't imagine the amount of business income they've lost over this. It's ridiculous it has taken them over three years to put it into the dev stage.

Do you have a likely timescale on this please as we are holding out for it but may need to move to another system if the timeline is too long? Thanks.

I had an opportunity to get a demo of this feature from the developers a week or two ago and provide feedback and can advise its definitely close to being implemented. I have some pretty basic requirements but was very excited to see the support for negative values working in a test environment - hopefully not too much longer from Xero

I fully agree Tim, the inability to having negative stock is the biggest downfall of Xero, compared to Quickbooks in my eyes.
Would be interesting to know what Xero has to say on this subject.

Any update on this? It's been in dev status for a long time. I really need the ability to manage negative stock for my business.

This would be super beneficial for us, as we invoice for products, take payment then order from suppliers due to their niche nature.

Allowing inventory to go to Negative is critical to our ecom platform that tracks items sold as Pre-Order. Without the negative stock on hand, we have to manually manage SOH, Cost, sales etc as the integration with our ecom platform and Xero fails at every sale into negative quantities.

We are struggling with stock controll and accurate reports, we do over 3kk sales with this and negative stock would be really really helpful.

Allow negative stock which has been asked for for at least 10 years but you say it requires a significant rewrite of code to do it - you are in a significant rewrite so please.....do it!

We operate an online shop with several items that are not stocked, but will be ordered from suppliers when baught by a customer. Quickbooks allowed negative stock, which helped us to process these sales. As we moved to Xero, this feature is not allowed and causes us incredible problems, to such a degree that we are tempted to move back to Quickbooks.

Hi Kelly,

I hope all is well.

this is almost a year now.

Do we know when this feature will be implemented?

Thanks

When is this going to be resolved? This is ridiculous! We need to be able to Invoice our customers and receive payment BEFORE we order in their product's for them.

I really need this, come on Xero!!!!!!

hey @xero - two years on and you still have not added this as a basic function.. everybody takes payetn upfront these days.. this is a bloody joke - we have to do adjustments all day due to the **** abilities of this overpriced software - 10 years a user and the functionality is NOT keeping up with business demands..

back order / negative inventory is basic in netsuite

we need this function becuase we sell items before purchase from supplier.

I could go into negative stock on Reckon Hosten, which was helpful.
I switched to Xero recently and am surprised Xero cannot do this.

An absolute requirement that would make a huge improvement to functionality and productivity for us.

This is very upsetting and why is Xero not reacting to this request asap, please respond

I found that this functionality in Xero is preventing alot of business to transition to Xero, which is a frustration as client need this functionality of have Negative stock for quoting purposes
