Hi everyone, apologies for the gap since our last update.
We appreciate your ongoing feedback and additional detail that’s been shared in this thread.
A dedicated units-of-measure field for line items isn't something we've committed to building as a standalone feature, though it's one we're actively considering as part of a wider look at extending invoice documents to better serve our customers.
For now, connected apps in the Xero App Store remain an immediate option to meet needs expressed. We'll post an update here as this broader work develops.

I’d like to request the addition of a "Unit of Measurement (UOM)" column in the Invoice module. This feature is essential for businesses that sell goods or services in varying units such as kilograms, liters, meters, boxes, hours, etc.
Currently, we have to manually include the UOM in the item description, which:
- Reduces clarity and consistency across invoices
- Makes reporting and inventory tracking more difficult
- Increases the risk of human error
Suggested Implementation:
- Add a dedicated UOM field in the Products and Services setup
- Display the UOM column in invoices, quotes, and bills
- Allow customization of UOMs (e.g., kg, m², pcs, hrs) per item
Benefits:
- Improved invoice clarity and professionalism
- Better support for inventory-based businesses
- Enhanced integration with third-party apps and reporting tools
This feature would be a valuable enhancement for many users across industries. Thank you for considering this request!
