Hi team, while we don't have plans for adding a field for supplier to Inventory items, right now you could run the Payable invoice Detail report to see the purchases of items, and which supplier(s) they've been bought from.
You can also Group/Summarise the report by Item Code or Contact, depending on which you want to see together.

Thank you everyone for engaging about the need for a discount column in Bills with us here.
While there isn’t a direct column for adding a discount atm, there are a few ways you could look to reflect this in your bills right now;
- Use Xero’s inbuilt calculator in the Price field, and add a note to the description of that line e.g $5 item at a 20% discount you would enter 5 x 0.8 in the quantity field and could add a description “including 20% discount”
- Reduce the Quantity field to reflect the discount e.g 20% discount enter 0.8 in the Quantity and use a descriptor as above
- Use a separate line of the bill to enter a whole amount discount with a negative Price amount
- If you use Purchase orders, when you copy the Purchase order to a Bill though the discount column will not show the Subtotal…

Adding discounts to bills is too Klunky, and too slow. adding a negative on a separate line is counter intuitive. You should be able to have a discount column for each line item. Most suppliers invoice this way and it should be the same when entering bills.

Xero needs to add this feature. It can also be usefull in many ways . Visual queues are important in inventory control and also website listings. The products and services area could do with a lot more features that should be very easy for the dev team to add.

Most purchase ordering systems allow for primary and secondary suppliers. I find it odd that xero does not do this. I see the PO's are tied to a supplier. filtering products by supplier can have many advantages. Xero is an excellent application, but the more i get into it, lacks many basic and simple features.
