    Hi everyone, we appreciate your input and sharing detail of how you'd like to see this developed to help suit the needs of your business.
    We want to upfront that we don't have plans for developing this in the next year. However looking further out to the future, our teams will continue to review and consider how they might build inventory in Xero to cater for units of measure.
    If you're after an immediate solution, it might be worth exploring connected apps that can integrate with Xero and cater for your business needs. As soon as there's any change or news around this to share we'll be sure to update our community and all of your interested in this, here.

    Yes! We need the UOM column additional to the QTY column.

    In our case the UOM is length. We sell metal profiles in numerous custom lengths. Lack of the length field forces us to either (1) create hundreds of items for the same profile, or (2) work with 1 single unit measure item and face the resulting stock and cost mess. The latter requires continuous stock and cost of sales adjustments.
