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.

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.

Agree with all previous comments! My customers are demanding I provide actual service dates for each line of the invoice as we have to list a number of services on a single invoice each day/week. All we need is the ability to tick a 'date column' option from the current column list when invoicing.
I have tried to design and import my own custom invoice however, that was a complete failure as it doesn't work!
Please make this a priority Xero Team - such a simple request to save us users unnecessary work-arounds.

The date a service was provided is a critical piece of information required by our clients. We have jobs running over several days that are grouped and invoiced and need to show each individual day/date line item and expense. Previously I have used MYBO which has allowances for this. We utilise allocations software which pushes job information into Xero - the fact that Xero does not have the ability to customise available fields from that software during exporting is poor.
I would hope that this matter is attended to as a priority.

Our company has multiple entries to all invoices and I need to be able to enter the 'date' of service in the first column of the invoice line items. I have edited an invoice and customised however it doesnt work when I upload the template.
Please consider adding this option to templates.

Xero obviously does not value their customers. Time to move to another provider.

This is an essential part of every one of my invoices, and my clients expect to see it.

I have had the chance to go back and look at when this feed started.. Surprising is has been over a year and there is still no change. So what is the point of writing this post if it doesn't get read or anything change with the system. This is and essential part that is needed, and by not having it blows out my invoicing time by and extra 5min per invoice. I think i will switch back to MYOB just for the ease of use.

This is essential. I have switched from MYOB for ease of use... Well that is what i was told Zero would be. This is a simple request and i am baffled as to why it is like this. It is just a date.

I find it quite telling that there is only customers of Xero commenting on this. I can only imagine how may people who have move to Xero from QB or similar have found this limitation but not read or logged an issue.
It is costing businesses in double handling, perhaps if there was a way to backcharge Xero our bookkeepers and our own time it would make the developers more responsive.

Yes this is critical.
I use hours tracker and Life 360to track my movements
Pity I cant list the dates on XERO -
Evan Pardington commented
Seems a basic invoicing feature is missing. Having to add the date of service to a description line is taking so much time and is an illogical process. Please add a date column for individual lines.

Trialling Xero with a view to changing from QB - can’t believe this feature doesn’t exist.
As an education service provider it is vital invoices show the date of service provision, and reports showing lesson counts and dates are essential.
Are you really trying to force users to keep duplicate records in excel to keep track of this? -
Sara Stafford commented
I agree we require this function and it's simply not available Come on Xero! This should be a staple for your software. Service Date require.

Alyssa Albertson commented
Please add this feature ASAP! This is a necessity for service based businesses.

Paul Storrier commented
When will Xero be adding additional columns for multiple dates and docket numbers on the same invoice if your not sure how have a look at the reckon invoice I have fourty to fifty docket’s for the same customer on one monthly invoice you need to address this

Jennie Ross-King commented
Also transferring from QB. Essential to have services dates as many of our customers get multiple things during the week and require a weekly invoice. As a more expensive product you would think you would have a service date as an option.
