Modified date on product items should uodate when the on-hand quantity changes
When you change something simple on a product item (say the description) then a request for modified since returns this item.
But if the stock in-hand figure changes (because you've sent an invoice) then the modified date doesn't change and this item isn't returned in the atli query.
So, in effect there is no easy to tell (via API using modified dates) when the stock on- hand has changed. You would have to load all items every ten minutes to know what the current in-hand stock is... And then you would get rate limiting issues.

Coming back one year later because the status here is even worse now - given how this is now directly affected by the API Egress charges from Xero - so a large catalog is going to cost more even if their inventory isn't changing.
This isn't something we see from the QuickBooks API, and I see this being a strong factor around Xero being chosen vs QuickBooks on both a user and integrator level.

This would be quite helpful to have - as it would provide a much more efficient way to be aware of inventory changes made in Xero - especially since there are no webhooks that could be used for this.
QuickBooks Online does support this.

This is also affected when you do manual adjustments to the stock
