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 Jobs in progress/billed/unbilled (again similar to a billable expenses report)
We have tried projects but this is too in-depth, need something very basic to track and invoice simple services.
Thanks 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 😊.
