We are a manufacturing company - can i suggest a separate field in your Invoice screen to identify production lines that products will run down, and then another screen that allows the items assigned to that line to be arranged in the required production order. This is basically using Xero as an ERP system - we currently already do this in Xero to a certain extent through the information posted in the 'reference' field, but the last aspect is tricky in that we cannot order the production process without exporting to excel...., hence the request for a screen that we can either manually order or automatically order based on certain criteria, that is independent of the main current Invoice screen. I have spent time looking at your 'associated' ERP companies (Katana etc.) and what they are doing is basically what we/you are already doing - except this final aspect.

One of the basic requirements that is missing. We all obviously know that you cannot process an Invoice unless tracked stock is available - why not highlight the item concerned rather than a blanket statement that something is wrong? Where are the minimum and re-order levels? Where is the 'Print a Re-order Report' option?
Just one of a small handful of very easily altered issues and missing components that would take the system to the next level, and replace the need for a separate production management system.
Badly thought out - you really need to be speaking directly to some of your customers rather than relying on us moaning on platforms such as this. Just because you call it a 'duck' doesn't mean it's a duck - it's large, grey, has a trunk and eats sticky buns, it's an elephant. We all call it an elephant. Just because you call it a duck doesn't mean it's a duck. Not the greatest analogy, admittedly, but it gets the point across.
Just because you say Xero is suitable for this, that and the next, quite simple, it isn't.
Just saying.
