    Hi community, our product team have started exploring some improvements in inventory in Xero with the ability to bulk update the sales price of inventory items by a percentage being one they've set their eyes on! 

    For now, we'll shift to Under review and I'll be back to share more when there's news 😊

  2. On the Xero mobile app, it would be great to be able to search Products & Services. If a customer wants a price on an inventory item, I have to create an invoice or quote, then add an item to see a price. A Product & Services link off the Dashboard would be very helpful.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We understand that accessing your inventory only when creating a transaction can be a bit limiting, especially if you want to quickly check stock or pricing.

    Many of you have suggested having a dedicated Products & Services tab in the app so you can manage your list anytime, which sounds like a really useful addition.

    Some of you currently use the mobile browser to access the full Products & Services menu, and while that works, having this directly in the app would make managing your business even easier.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share it with our product teams. This helps us see how we can make managing your products smoother and more flexible.

  3. The "View all transactions" link from a specific product/service should display the Inventory items details report just for that specific product/service. Currently it shows all products and just for the current month. So really isn't doing what is implied in the link.

  4. I would like to be able to bulk edit a select, small number of products and/or export them to CSV for editing and re-importing.

    We have 4000 SKUs, and if I want to edit 20, a simple bulk edit feature would be very useful. The CSV is unmanageable and needs to be split up for re-importing. It makes a huge task when it needn't be.

  5. It would be useful to add possibility of using long figures of quantity when entering inventory transactions. For now only 4 decimals are allowed. On practice it would be great if up to 10 would be possible.

  6. Would it be possible to be able to select Quantity on Order as a column option in the Inventory Item Summary report.
    Such feature would greatly enhance the product overview in this report.

  7. In the Products and services 'Transactions' page I would like add a column so I can see who I sold a particular product to without going into every invoice separately.

  8. 50 characters is often insufficient to identify separate products in (particularly) technical book names or descriptions especially where there are different versions of the same book (hard/soft covers, multiple language versions)

  9. We sell software from various vendors and many have rules relating to how their products are sold e.g. "Must include min of one license of X before customer can order any licenses of "Y" OR "Software Maintenance should be ordered with the licenses, otherwise it is ordered as a "Maintenance Upgrade" (with different pricing), and many other examples.

    Updating these each time a new price list is issued must be done manually as Notes cannot be imported or exported making it very tedious.

    Also, with Notes being at the bottom of the screen and needing to be expanded to see…

  10. It makes no sense to always automatically change the description, price etc when the inventory code is changed.

    Make this "feature/bug!" optional, very simple to implement and makes XERO more flexible.

    Hi David, could you provide a bit more detail of where you're finding this behaviour? It might even be best to raise this with our specialists at Xero Support who can get a closer look in.

    Editing an inventory items Item Code can be done independently so you shouldn't have to update the description or price.

  11. An inventory system that can also track serial numbers.

  13. BILL OF MATERIALS WOULD BE AWESOME AS MOST OF THE APPS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD COST YOU R900 PER MONTH AND THAT IS A BIT ROUGH ESPECIALLY IF YOU ONLY NEED THE BILL OF MATERIAL SECTION.

  14. I am looking to have the cost price included in the Inventory item details report even though the item is not tracked.
    We sell a service and we cannot track the item as there is no amount to it.
    But when running the report the cost price does not show

    Hi team, pleased to share another update as progress moves along in this space.

    We'd now doing some early testing of the teams concepts for being able to bundle inventory in Xero.

    With the high interest for this in the idea, we'd like to offer the opportunity to be involved in the process - If you'd be willing to give some of your time to share back with the team, we'd love you to fill in this short questionnaire ✍️

    While this will be limited to a small group, we'll keep you updated on the outcomes, here. Thanks!

  17. Low stock alerts can be set up in the Xero "Product" administration. Each product reaches a certain 'low' quantity and Xero gives an alert accordingly.

    Hi community!👋

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to the team’s research in this area. Your input has been invaluable. The discovery phase has given us rich insights, and we’re excited to share that we’ll be moving ahead to design and build a solution.

    As we begin development, we’ll transition the idea into this next stage. We look forward to coming back to you when there are new opportunities to be involved and to share further updates along the way.🙏

  19. Ability to have multi-currency for inventory in Xero.

    Purpose: To make invoice and purchase tracking easier, because this feature will allow users to enter different currencies when they’re buying and selling the item.
