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.

Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

@Jane Skinner 100%!!! Perfectly said! I have changed internet providers, Hardware etc in the hopes of trying to make it faster. All other Xero processes work fast and amazing and so do all the other programs we use. Invoicing is the only slow painful issue. Constantly auto saving every time a key is clicked.
@Xero & Kelly. Try Processing a Bill in comparison to an invoice you will see the vast difference. I'm happy for you to jump on while I process both to show you. Although I have sent through many videos of the buffering I receive when trying to process invoices.Bec Jones

Thanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.
You can continue to vote on this idea so if our position changes in the future we will update you all, here.

560 votesHi community, we appreciate the continued traction this idea's received, and do want to provide clarity and set expectation.
Your feedback has been valuable in understanding the needs of using description only lines to; add subheadings, provide context for grouped charges, and ensure your invoices are easy for your clients to read and understand.
To reconfirm, atm - You can add one-off description only lines as you enter an invoice. However, if you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you'll need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
- We know some users have set up and saved inventory items for description only lines they commonly use, however as the item code field is used for inventory items the line of the invoice is treated as 'financial' meaning you'll then need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax…

Is there any chance of Digital signatures being available in the near future? We require this for deliveries. Thanks

I agree this is something that needs to be looked at to be able to add Tracking Categories to individual items not just to clients. Our clients receive multiple items that are from different departments and we have to constantly change tracking categories for items as we can only set 1 tracking category to the client. Also there is an issue with my invoices now being imported into Xero where they can't actually load the tracking categories. Xero have given me work arounds like removing the contact and readding and it imports the tracking categories but then I still need to go through and change items to different tracking categories. I feel like both issues could be resolved by being able to add tracking categories to products/services instead of client if I'd prefer to do it that way.
