Seamless Xero Inventory Management Software

Xero offers some limited inventory functionalities, such as cost insights and basic stock control. However, materials tracking, work-in-progress management, and advanced inventory control automation are not possible in Xero without an inventory management integration.

You cannot track raw materials or access batch and serial number tracking features with Xero. However, it’s possible to integrate specialised inventory software with Xero to gain a fully functioning inventory control and accounting system that synchronises sales data across all channels in real time.

The limitations of using Xero for inventory include soft limits for transaction volumes of 1000 sales invoices, 2000 account transactions, 1000 purchase bills, and 2000+ bank lines per month. Xero inventory is also limited in its lack of manufacturing or production features, such as serial number tracking and assembly kitting.

To account for inventory in Xero, select Products and services from the Business menu and select new item. Enter item details such as name, SKU, and price. Then select the Track inventory item checkbox, select an Inventory Asset account and Cost of Goods Sold account, and click Save.

Xero has basic inventory management features that allow you to track simple stock levels. However, it doesn’t provide advanced inventory tracking, such as batch or serial number tracking, multiple warehouse management, or detailed stock reports. For comprehensive inventory management, you can integrate Xero with Unleashed Software. Unleashed complements Xero by providing powerful stock control, Bills of Materials management, purchase order management, sales order management, pick pack and dispatch functionality, and real-time inventory tracking & reporting, enabling you to manage your inventory seamlessly alongside your accounting.
