Invoices - Date columns for individual line items
Ability to add date columns for individual line items.
Purpose: To make users easily put a date for each item. The scenario that can benefit users is for them to show a specific date of when the product/service is delivered.

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 function is critical to the clients business.

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?

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.

Add new column to Sales Invoice to allow delivery date in description body before product name.
Have clients who use tipper lorries making multiple tips each day and bill customers monthly, so date for each days deliveries is essential requirement from them. This feature is standard in Quick Books who they have been using successfully and very surprised Xero not offer this option or could not be added in templates available. -

When preparing invoice have clients want option to add a date (delivery date) in first column of sales invoice as they make multiple deliveries a day and only bill the customer once monthly so each days deliveries important by date. They moved to Xero from Quickbooks who has this in their invoice template as standard we believe and disappointed this not available in Xero.

this is such a basic item I am really quite shocked that Xero has not made this an option as yet.

I've had clients come across from Quickbooks and they are very disappointed that there is no date column to show service dates. If they had have known this, then they would have remained with Quickbooks.
Please add a date column as an option for Xero invoicing!

I've moved from an invoicing service where I was paying $5 a month, to Xero, assuming it was superior. I'm confused as to why they haven't considered including an option to add a date column. All my services require a date when I completed the works. I don't understand how a $5 invoicing service can include these features, but a so-called, superior platform like Xero does not include these features!

Jennifer Martin commented
No date column is a dealbreaker. How does anybody get paid for their work without saying when they did the work? I'm baffled.

I actually can’t believe that this is not offered! I’ve come over from QuickBooks because I thought Xero was superior, looks like I was wrong! What about people offering services? Makes no sense. Basic really!

nicole hanna commented
I would like this feature to be added. This would be a feature many people would use. Clients like to enter date then an item which brings through description. Please keep us updated on any progress that might happen with this

I have spoken to a support technician and also previously popped my comments on the Xero Product Ideas however after reading other client comments regarding the same issue it doesn't appear that Xero are really looking or considering making this change. From a users perspective, this is absolutely needed so I'm not sure why this wouldn't be made a priority.
