    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.

    Make this happen! Xero is being ignorant by not allowing negative quantities. I constantly create invoices and request payment before I place an order for an item. This does not make sense in the least to not allow a negative quantity
