Hi community, thanks for continuing to support this idea and share the situations where it matters most to your business.
We’re now rolling out backorders for tracked inventory, that enables you to keep selling and invoice customers even when you don’t currently have enough stock on hand.
When this becomes available in your organisation, you’ll be able to approve a sales invoice for tracked items even where there isn’t enough available quantity to fully supply it. Xero will allocate any stock that's available straight away, place the remainder on backorder, and then automatically allocate incoming stock to those outstanding backorders as inventory increases.
We’ll continue to monitor feedback as this rolls out more broadly, and I’ll return to share another update once the release is complete.

Hi everyone, thanks sharing how important it is to be able to reserve inventory for pre-sales, or consignment.
We appreciate hearing your needs in setting stock aside before it’s invoiced, and in some cases working across multiple locations or warehouse setups.
We are currently in the process of releasing backorders capability which is designed to help tracked inventory users approve a sales invoice even when there isn’t enough stock available at the time. When that happens, the stock you do have available is allocated first, and the remaining quantity is placed on backorder. As more stock comes in, Xero will then automatically allocate it to the oldest approved backorders.
While this release doesn’t provide a way to reserve stock in advance for consignment, pre-orders, or particular customers and locations, it may still help some businesses that are currently needing to wait for stock to arrive before they can approve and…

Hi everyone, thanks again for continuing to share your feedback and examples on this idea.
We’ve now done some initial discovery on this and can see the value it could provide for businesses needing assembly or bundled inventory capability in Xero.
This is something we’re interested in solving longer term, however there is a bit of complexity involved in the work and it hasn’t been roadmapped at this stage.
When we are able to get this planned in the pipeline, we’ll be sure to update you here and keep you informed on progress.

Hey Team, thanks for sharing this idea but right now Xero doesn’t have a dedicated pro‑forma invoice document type in Quotes or Invoices. We are moving this to Gaining Support so others can Vote and Comment.
The main workaround is to use a Quote as your pro‑forma (with wording like “Pro‑forma invoice – not a tax invoice” in the template), then convert the quote to an invoice only once the amount is confirmed and you’re ready for it to hit your accounts.
You can find more detail on how pro‑forma invoices work in our guide:

Hi community, we'd like to provide an update for you all here with backorders for tracked inventory now in the process of rolling out to customers.
As this rolls out, customers will be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your stock on hand will be allocated straight away, and the remaining quantity goes on backorder. Incoming stock is then automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
This coupled with the ability to track the receiving of goods from a Purchase order through to Bills will help solve for needs shared in this idea.
We throughly appreciate all your input through this thread and will come back to confirm once this roll out reaches 100% of users. 😊
