    Hi everyone, apologies for the gap since our last update.

    We appreciate your ongoing feedback and additional detail that’s been shared in this thread.

    A dedicated units-of-measure field for line items isn't something we've committed to building as a standalone feature, though it's one we're actively considering as part of a wider look at extending invoice documents to better serve our customers.

    For now, connected apps in the Xero App Store remain an immediate option to meet needs expressed. We'll post an update here as this broader work develops.

    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.
