Hi everyone, totally get wanting to get an update from us on the idea here. Having a fair amount of interest from users I can say that Quote reminders are defintiely on the teams radar, however with current focus largely on new invoicing we do not have any immediate plans for this in the next 6 months.
I can assure you, though we mightn't be able to provide updates as frequently as you'd like to see, our product teams are heavily involved in the forums here and our community team often connect to share trends, discuss developments and externally communicate changes that are coming across Xero products. It's important to us to continue developing Xero to streamline payments and help our customers get paid sooner, and your idea here does sit in this realm.
When the teams resources open up and we can consider new development in Quotes like being…

Over 2 years and 404 votes. Do any of our suggestions ever get implemented or are we just here to generate ideas for the third party extensions? This has to be the easiest idea to implement and it has a lot of people asking for it.

Xero is just coasting. There are so many simple ideas that users keep asking for and most of the time nobody from Xero even bothers to update us. This idea would be dead simple to implement, and yet we have been pleading for it for close to 2 years. It's the same with every other idea I follow. If Xero expects us to get these features through 3rd party extensions that sucks, but they could at least tell us.

This is not all that important to my business, but I know it is very important to others and the functionality is already in the system with the invoice reminders.

Bump seconded! What is up Dana?

Do any of these ideas ever see the light of day? I get a few updates on these ideas and none of them have gone anywhere. Some are several years old. It would be nice to hear from Xero if they have a chance of implementation.

Does anyone from Xero even read these? It is like they gave us a forum to just vent about all the small things they refuse to address.

Can someone from Xero comment on this? There have been a lot of issues relating to inventory that are being ignored and this makes no sense considering that Xero acquired LOCATE.
On November 11, 2021 (473 days ago), Xero made this announcement.
"Xero will embed LOCATE’s inventory management capability, talent and expertise into Xero to focus on building a new cloud inventory management solution so you'll be able to better manage your inventory and improve your financial performance."
This sounds great. When is it happening? How much will it cost? Will some of the more basic options (like kitting) get integrated into Xero I have now or will I need to pay more for a lot of inventory features I don't need?
It would make a lot of us feel better if we knew this was still in development and had a rough idea of when it will roll out. It seems like all these issues are being ignored and if I have to pay double for these features when I am a small family business with stock in my garage I will be forced to look elsewhere.

Make this happen, please. Or you could reply and let us know you are on it. Or not on it. Or going to make us pay for it? Or something.

Hi all, appreciate the interest and rationale for wanting to be able to combine and hide line items on an invoice for sending to your clients, while having your usual detail tracked on the invoice in Xero.
While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we’ll be developing in the near term. Our team is focussed on other key priorities right now such as improvements to invoice branding and getting paid.
If you want to hide all line item details, you can create a custom invoice theme where you can decide which data fields appear on the PDF invoice. For example to print only the Subtotal and no line items.
However we’re aware that in other cases you want to be able to show some line items and not others. We’ll leave this idea open…

I am with you Bob. This is not a complicated feature to add and it is disheartening that nobody has addressed our request.

I would like this feature as well as kitting. Neither one is complicated and I shouldn't have to purchase an expensive inventory suite when I don't need 99% of the features. Kitting is NOT a manufacturing feature like work orders.

Thanks for your comments and emphasis on the bills side of things for the idea here. I've made sure this is shared with our team in this space.
Bills is an area we're continuing to develop with building on beautiful and I'll be sure to let you know here if there's any consideration made to change behaviour of this through the bills add and edit flow.

I second everything Elias just posted.
I will add that it is clear to me that Xero only caters to their real customers... the integrated app developers. They don't want to add features, they want us to pay for additional services from which they get their cut. It is better for Xero if they offer basic core services like inventory to attract new customers, but then make sure it is basically unusable so that we have to go out and buy another services that is far more than we need, but functional.
Prove me wrong Xero. Update just a handful of these features your customers have been begging you for.
quote reminders
being able to upload inventory as untracked so I don't have to do it manually
being able to hide unit costs BUT keep the unit quantities in a standard form
bundling products (no, this is not the same as a work order)
etc
