    Thanks for the response, Joanne. While it's not something we have direct plans for atm, we'll get a better of the interest around this here, and I'll share if there's any changes planned.

  2. The Inventory Item Details report does not show inventory items where there was no movement during the month. Therefore the report does not tie out to the balance per the TB for inventory. Can this be fixed?

    Hey Louis - thanks for sharing your suggestion!

    Understand that it's not quite what you're after, but it's worth a mention: The 'Inventory Item Summary' report will show all inventory items in your organisation, including those without any movement in the selected period. 

    I've attached a screenshot as an example, so you can check if it suits your reporting needs  - we'll leave this idea up in the meantime 😊

  3. Some of our customers have set discounts, however, some of our inventory items have very little to no margin and we would like to be able to block that inventory item from being discounted. Also, freight gets discounted on customers that have discounts saved to their account?

  4. The old Xero version of Products and Services was really useful, as would show individual pieces costs to 4 decimal places.
    The new version only shows 2 decimal places - we would really like to be able to see the 4 decimal places again!

    The old version was also more user friendly, as you could 'tab' shortcut from one section to another when making adjustments. The new version you need to use your mouse and select everything which takes much longer.

    Would you be able to update this?

  6. Generate inventory list report in FC by stock codes as it's very important if you have businesses in various countries with different FC to know an item costs EUR *** in Europe vs USD in USA instead of all in GBP

  7. It would be great if there was Inventory integration with Airtable (Airtable.com) to keep proper adjustment of our inventories. It’s a much easier to use system, for small business, that needs less support.

  10. Can a way be setup to do Invoicing for Drop-Ship items where we do not need to add inventory, but it is automatically calculated when invoiced to Track how many drop-shipments are being sent in a month and track the difference between the vendor price and customer price. Having to manually add to inventory is a lot of work.

    Hi community, while we appreciate some customers may want to rack quantity on hand for untracked items in their products and services this isn't something we have plans for. Tracked Inventory is the feature within Xero that will enable this capability and while we understand this may not work for all customers flows we want to be transparent with you through the idea here.

  13. Ability to edit Inventory adjustment.

    Purpose: Because it would allow the accountants to reverse the effect of any wrong adjustment.

    Thanks for your interest and sharing how improvements to Xero Inventory could enhance your experience using Xero.

    Tracking of inventory for manufacturing isn't something we have direct plans of right now, however as you may have seen from my update on this idea we have started exploring development for bundling of inventory in Xero.

    At this point, our product team have some early concepts and they'd like to engage our community for feedback on these.

    Knowing your interests here, we'd like to invite you to share back on the teams work for bundling inventory. If you'd be able to give some of your time, please fill in this short form.

    Depending on interest we may not be able to involve everyone, however we'll come back to share any further progress of this with you here.

  15. Adding default tracking option for inventory items in Xero.

    Purpose: To make users don't have to think about or forget to add the correct tracking.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate your detailed feedback on how default tracking options for inventory items would improve your use of Xero. Atm, it’s possible to set default tracking on a Contact, however do understand why this isn’t suitable for all of you.

    At this stage there’s no set plans to develop tracking in Xero inventory.

    This is something we may consider in the longer term and we’ll continue to monitor votes and your feedback. We’ll update here if there’s any progress.

  16. To make the profit and loss report calculation is based on Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock.

    Purpose: To get the figures easily in P&L report by deducting the closing stock from purchases.

    Hi community, in the way untracked inventory in Xero works it isn't possible to automatically calculate cost of goods sold for a period in your reports. 

    There is a way to go about this yourself through entering Manual Journals to account for the Cost of Goods sold, and adjusting the value of inventory on your Balance Sheet. 

    You'll want to enter your Conversion Balances into an account that has a Current Asset type rather than an inventory type (Inventory type is reserved for use with tracked inventory in Xero and can't be coded to on manual journals).
    To avoid potential taxation and reporting issues - We highly recommend contacting your accountant to check whether this is suitable for your business, or if you need additional clarification on what journals to enter.
