I'm an accounting firm owner and would like to transition some clients from QuickBooks, but the lack of this feature stops me from making that change.

I am heading back to quickbooks owing to this issue. If only we could charge Xero for our wasted time and money.

Searching the forums, this has been a request SINCE 2021!!! Our ticketing system only integrates with Quickbooks and Xero, and I'm not going back to Quickbooks! So Xero, you all need to get on the ball here and implement THIS BASIC TENET OF INVOICES!!!

This would add so much flexibility to Xero, I am surprise that this is not available for a billing system. Please allow this feature

I can’t use Xero if I can’t add date of the service as it’s required for my invoice to get paid. Very disappointed

It is critical in service industry to add date of service to line item to avoid any discrepancies.
It is a legal requirements but for business like us to include date in the invoice to be paid correctly.
Other platforms like QB offer that unlike Xero.
It is very inconveneient to enter date manually at this time. -
Saras Soni commented
Entering date of service on the invoice has to be the most basic feature.
Other platforms like QB offer this and it just makes life so much easier.
Xero seriously has got to raise the bar on this. -
Scott Meyers commented
Sounds like this basic necessity for invoices was requested years ago... so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath on this being implemented anytime soon, huh?

Please make this change ASAP I have now moved from QuickBooks to integrate with my other software that I use for booking and this is a big part of how I invoice I know it's a little thing but it makes my life a lot easier

This needs to be implemented, they have overhauled invoicing and I assumed this would be one of the things they would put in.
Also, allow more columns in the invoices to add further desciption, docket number, date, reference number for each line . -

Why has this not been done yet?! It's nearly TWO YEARS since it was requested!
I am seriously looking at moving from Xero because of all the little things that add up throughout the program that aren't available and the "work arounds" are time wasters that I shouldn't have to do. Don't even get me started on not being able to do negative inventory!! -

This would be super helpful for our business. We issue a monthly invoice which has multiple entries for dates throughout the month.
It would be awesome to have a date field which captures this date, but also then allows us to run reporting on line item dates so we could say - capture a days trading, or with the help of tracking codes, capture a days trade for a specific vehicle or driver etc.

I remain perplexed about this missing feature. Perhaps someone somewhere runs a business where every customer receives an invoice every day of every year, but not me.
I like to put several days of service (or even a whoooole month *gasp*) on on a single invoice (*applause*). But a list of services without dates performed is unacceptable. I'm not even mad, it's just factually unacceptable for a large segment of the business world. I am politely requesting this be fixed.

This was first flagged in 2012 and it's still outstanding??? Really?

Jeff Wiatt commented
I agree, this is the most basic of invoicing 101, I can't believe Xero missed this one.

Come from QuickBooks to Xero, disappointed that there is no service date feature. Such a basic requirement.
