Inventory Plus - Roll out Xero Inventory Plus to all countries
As a Group Financial Administrator at an IT company operating in South Africa, I am writing to request the expansion of Xero Inventory Plus to regions outside the US.

Suggested Features to Prioritize:
- FIFO and batch/serial tracking
- Multi-location inventory management
- Barcode scanning and sticker generation
- Real-time inventory valuation and reporting
Business Impact:
Rolling out Inventory Plus globally would empower businesses like ours to:
- Improve inventory accuracy and reduce losses
- Enhance financial reporting and…

Inventory - Stock count to show active/draft invoices assigned to item
It would be great if the inventory levels showed both items in active quotes and in draft invoice. displayed when clicking on your stock items it currently shows several info line, an additional line similar to the "in committed quote" option but also in active/draft invoices. this will give a more live feed into what stock has been booked out.
7 votesThanks for sharing your idea here Terrence. Can appreciate how this would be useful for other users wanting to know which quotes or invoices have the items assigned to get a better idea. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the team. In the mean time feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues who might also benefit from this feature!

Users Role - Granular permission to view Inventory quantities without Costs
manage permission - I would need my crew to see inventory quantity without seeing the cost.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this. It’s clear that being able to show stock on hand without exposing cost price is important for many teams. Right now, the lack of that level of permission control can mean choosing between giving staff the visibility they need and protecting sensitive financial information.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product teams how valuable a dedicated permission toggle would be. Please keep sharing your use cases and voting—this context really helps demonstrate the impact.

Inventory - Increase item code character limit
Increase the character limit for product/item codes from 30 to at least 50.
Our suppliers use a minimum of 8 characters, up to 12 characters. We use 4 suppliers regularly, which all use different SKU's; This means we can have 36 characters for standard products, even more if there is a supplier we don't purchase too regularly from or if there are 2+ similar products that get grouped under one item.

Inventory - Set default prices with tax inclusive/exclusive treatment
I have entered selling prices excluding GST but have noticed that some personnel have been invoicing inc GST yet xero hasn't adjusted the price of the item to add 10%. I need the item price to be the same either way of invoicing.
Can we make this happen some how ? so the price of the item is the same either way. MYOB manages to adjust it, you just set the price as either including or excluding and it adjusts it automatically when charged out. Maybe Xero should aim to improve this aspect of the program.
6 votesHi Kelly
Thanks for this suggestion. You're right that currently the tax inclusive/exclusive setting on the invoice would change the overall invoice total.

In the meantime, you might want to tell all staff to enter invoices with the same tax treatment, to avoid accidentally under/overcharging for the same item. If you create all invoices on a tax-inclusive basis, you can enter the default sales price for your items including GST. Otherwise, you would need to enter the prices excluding GST.

Inventory - Add additional information to the Inventory Item List report
Inventory Item List.
Included in this report is the unit cost which is manually set. Would it also be possible to please add another cost field to the report ? I would like to see the last PO unit cost. Any variance would be used to update the unit cost if in NZD

Tracked inventory - Add opening stock when creating new item
When entering a new stock item, there isn't an opening to enter opening stock.
We need to create the item first then enter the quantities in an adjustment tab.
It makes sense to make adjustments to items already created, but surely we should be able enter an opening stock value when creating an item, this would save us a lot of time.12 votesHi, thanks for sharing this idea about setting the opening stock for a tracked item at the same time you add it.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea with their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.
As for how this is currently done, as well as setting the item's starting Quantity on Hand, there needs to be an accounting record for where the existing Value comes from.
The current process is to add the item(s) as Tracked and then either:
- Importing the opening balances for your tracked items. *This option is only for when you first start using Tracked Inventory in your organisation*.
- Entering an approving a Supplier Bill to record the first purchase of the item.
- Entering an Adjustment (Increase Quantity-type) to move the value from another account (the adjustment account) to the Inventory Asset Account.

Inventory - Calculating return on investment (ROI)
For businesses who have invested in equipment and generate an income from the hire or use of the equipment. The ability to calculate (through analytics or a report) the % 'Return On Investment'.
The data is already in Xero (cost of good/equipment purchased VS total sales), just needs a simple way to display this info and calculated in a % and/or just view the data simply and easily.
Currently have to create your own Excel spreadsheet and input that data from Xero manually. Seems a simple report/statistic to generate and would be incredibly useful for business who need to know…3 votesHi Simon, it's great to hear how automated ROI calculations would help your business.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining support, which means others in the community can now vote, comment, and share how this would benefit them too. The more perspectives added, the clearer the picture for our product team, so feel free to expand on your workflow to help spark that conversation.
In the meantime, the best way to calculate ROI is to pull the relevant figures from the Xero Analytics dashboard and work it out manually.
Thanks for getting the discussion started and we’ll keep you updated on any progress.

Inventory - Insert multiple item lines in one click (template)
Product/Inventory - Template Parent Item Line.
Would hugely time saving to be able to add multiple item lines with one click.
Clicking on a parent item which has selected item lines attached.
These multiple item lines are the items that would be used on every invoice, creating an item line template so to say.2 votesThanks Mark, we understand that being able to insert multiple inventory item lines in a single action—using a template or similar tool—would save time for many businesses. This idea has received strong interest from the Xero community. At this stage, the idea remains open for voting and discussion on our Product Ideas portal. While it is not currently on our published roadmap, our product team is actively monitoring feedback and engagement. We recognize the value this feature could bring and want to ensure we capture as much input as possible from our users.

Inventory - Update unit prices from a future date
ABILITY TO AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE ITEM PRICE ON A SPECIFIC DATE
Obviously item prices vary and when we give customers notice of a price change, sometimes this is months in advance. Now I know I could add a note to the item, but seriously, this would mean checking the notes for every item which would become very tiresome + time consuming.
I would like the ability to be able to go into a line item and be able to change the price of the item on a specific date, so that it when that date comes the item price has automatically…7 votesHi Kirstie
Thanks for sharing this idea about setting future prices for inventory items.
It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Other members can now add their votes and comments about how this could also benefit them.
In the meantime, you'd need to edit the price at the relevant date, either manually or by exporting and importing your items if you need to update lots of prices at the same time.

Inventory - Show invoices and contacts the item was sold to
When looking up product history Xero lists what invoices product was sold on. It would also be nice to be able to see the customer's name. This would make things much easier when trying to look up pricing assigned to specific customers.
7 votesHi Kevin, with this information available in a few reports atm there aren't any plans to add contact to the Latest transactions section when viewing a Product or services in Xero.
You could run the Inventory Item Details, or Receivable/Payable Invoice Detail reports, to see the transactions and contacts for an item.

Xero App - Add a dedicated "Products & Services" area to view and manage inventory
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.
12 votesHi 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.
