Hi team, I'm pleased to share that backorders capability is now in the process of rolling out to customers.
Once available in your org, you'll be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your available stock will be allocated first, with the remaining quantity placed on backorder. As stock comes in it'll be automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
You'll also see clearer inventory visibility through available quantity and backorder indicators in both your invoicing and inventory experience.
We'll keep monitoring feedback as availability expands, and I'll return to share another update once this is available to all users. Thanks!

The "Idea" section was renamed and reset about a year ago, but people have been begging for this feature since 2017, which I joined Xero. So I would not hold your breath.

People have been asking for this since I joined Xero (2016?). Crickets. So don't hold your breath.

Thanks for the support and voting on this idea, team.
We're in the midst of developing a refreshed purchase orders experience, that gives us the basis for new features.
As you may have seen in other recent updates, we have a keen eye on developing backorders, recording part amounts billed and allowing negative stock on hand in Xero.
We'll be back to share another update as work progresses.

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. 😊

David,
It has been EIGHT years since this was suggested. Xero wiped the discussion clean about 3 years ago, so it only looks like people have been asking for three. It is not going to happen.
