    Appreciate the interest in being able to set default tracking options against inventory items.

    While this isn't possible at an item level atm, it might be useful to some here knowing that you can set default tracking for your contacts.

    To be open we don't have any immediate plans for extending default tracking set up against items, however we'll keep a pulse on the interest here and if there are any plans made we'll be sure to let you know.

    Just chiming in here to say this is actually critical for us. We're in the process of giving xero a serious try coming over from Quickbooks Online and while we're really liking it we truly need to have tracking categories possible to be set as default for a specific item. It's labor intensive, and error prone, to have to set them manually on every line item of every invoice right now.

    We understand you can default a customer to one, but many of our customers partake in services delivered by different departments of our company. Allowing us to set a default department/tracking category on a per item basis would solve this, as items are unique per department at our company. Please implement asap! Very simple feature that would overcome one of the bigger hurdles we have with Xero at the moment.
