    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.

    Yes I asked for this THREE YEARS AGO! And I was not the first by a long shot.
    Xero have been ridiculously slow implementing what is a very common business requirement in todays business world, and I can't imagine the amount of business income they've lost over this. It's ridiculous it has taken them over three years to put it into the dev stage.

    Yes, this is critical to my business and I cannot find an affordable inventory add-on that handles that.

    So please, listen to all your customers asking for this -and imagine how many others potential customers have dismissed Xero because this function is not available.

    I've been using MYOB for 20 years in my last business and it handles it easily - along with price levels for customers. Get into the 21st century Xero!
