Overview: Why Inventory Management Is Vital For Businesses
Inventory is often one of the most important assets on a company’s balance sheet. Practical inventory accounting is critical not only for accurate financial reporting but also for operational success. In this article, we will look at how Xero can help you easily manage your inventory.
Small Businesses and Inventory
For small businesses, efficient inventory management can be a game changer. It can save time and resources, allowing you to focus on your business’s growth and other vital aspects. With Xero’s easy-to-use interface and powerful features, you can manage your stock, track your items and more, even if you are not an accounting expert.
Inventory In Xero: A Comprehensive Guide
Tracked vs. Untracked Stock
There are two types of inventory you can manage in Xero:
Tracked inventory: These are items whose quantity and value you want to track.
Untracked inventory: These are usually services or items that don’t require quantity tracking.
Adding Inventory Items in Xero
Adding inventory items to Xero is a simple process. Here is a step-by-step guide to adding inventory items in Xero:
Go to the Inventory section: From the Xero dashboard, navigate to Accounts > Inventory.
Click Add an Item: Fill in the necessary details such as item name, description, purchase price and selling price.
Inventory Accounting: The Financial Aspects
Xero uses the FIFO (first in, first out) method of inventory valuation. This method ensures that the cost of goods sold (COGS) is accurately calculated, which affects your financial reports.

Xero provides tools to manage stock levels and issue reorder alerts. You can also record stock counts, making stocktaking more manageable.
Reporting Features
Xero provides a range of reporting options to give you an overview of your stock. These reports can be invaluable in making business decisions, from stock levels to sales performance.
