    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.

    Allowing inventory to go to Negative is critical to our ecom platform that tracks items sold as Pre-Order. Without the negative stock on hand, we have to manually manage SOH, Cost, sales etc as the integration with our ecom platform and Xero fails at every sale into negative quantities.
