In Xero, cost centres are referred to as tracking categories, and whilst it is currently possible to add tracking categories to products, customers, customer types and customer groups, it is not currently possible to assign a tracking category to a supplier or stock item.

This feature request is for them to be added to suppliers and/or stock items and be used when uploading inventory receipts as bills to accounting platforms, such as Xero.

We would really like this by stock item. we’ve just started using this feature and we’re having to upload to Xero as draft then edit in Xero which feels like extra work. It would be much better if we could just do everything in one place then we could allow the inventory receipts to post without going through a draft stage.
