Enter your idea

This would really be a useful feature to add these fields and from a reporting aspect would make it so much easier!

Haha what a joke... what an absolute joke... it would require the most minimal amount of effort to add this feature and YEARS later you still won't do it. Absolute clown school.

This is really poor form. It seems like a trivial thing to implement and widely used. Time for me to leave the Xero fold...

For the record and to be clear, XERO never listened to any of this, the response above only came in after I opened a support case today and requested a response to this 4-year-old request, it was only then someone wrote the response above indicating that XERO has no intention to bother with the date field.
For any person writing new comments, ... please note that your comments are likely not be read unless you request this to be updated through a support ticket.

I have now cancelled my subscription with Xero due to inaction on this matter.
It is a very simple feature to implement and there is no reasonable excuse as to why continued failure to implement the feature.

For my particular situation it is necessary to have dates of service per line item to meet invoice guidelines which helps to create a clear picture for clients.

I will continue to use InvoiceNinja as they have this feature.

For what it's worth; This is a Critical issue, not having it on the horizon for fix after almost 4 years of customer requesting and complaining about this is a total ignorance.

Hi Kelly, I already add in description because thats the only real option. It is really disappointing that you say you're "focused on improvements" but unwilling to add the date column even after plenty of people have identified it as an obvious improvement. I assume you need a critical mass but there's likely a silent group of users who wouldn't comment on this idea because they thought (rightly) that nothing would change.

19 Nov 2024 - Adding dates IS an improvement, and one that users are requesting!
Maybe Xero developers could tell us which improvements they are 'focused on' and the USERS can decide what is important to them?

Dear Xero,

Do you mind please sharing an update whether this feature would be implemented or not?

Thanks

I am literally struggling now to "automate" my invoices to clients as they do require to see the dates of items being billed ... example: I submit a weekly invoice to my client and I must detail which date within the week my staff worked, so far I have been doing manual documents via MS word, but would really help a lot to all businesses if you could please add this feature. We are all paying customers of XERO, we do like it, I hate to move into another accounts provider just because this feature is not there. I notice this has been requested since 2022, would appreciate if XERO could add this field into the works, as a programmer myself it shouldn't be a hard thing to do, ... if you need me to help with this addition; I'm more than happy to chip in and do this for you.

need this for the type of business we are running, not having the ability to have the service date in its own column, means we will be returning to quickbooks

There have been numerous requests for this over the years!! Pathetic response from Xero. I'm out.

Xero - why haven’t you provided an update on this request. It is so basic. I’m seriously considering moving away given your lack of customer focus.

Feature request submitted March, 2022, it is now September 2024, and it hasn't been implemented, WTF Dev team?

I need this feature as a invoicing requirement for my clients record keeping.

Make it happen.

Kind regards,
New customer as of 1hr ago. hahaha.

Dates on each service line is a standard invoice requirement for monthly invoices of multiple services, Xero should make this a priority to add. There should be no limit to the number of custom fields you can add and name as your business requires, basic standard feature..
Xero please fix ASAP

This additional function would be a game changer!

Please make this change ASAP. This function is critical to our clients business.

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!!!
