Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of interest which has all been shared with and reviewed by the product team.
While this isn't currently being worked on there are other ideas this team are working on right now, including a bulk void feature and highlighting rows when selected. Although these features are still under development process and we don't have confirmed release dates yet.
With regards to having a separate field for the posting date and invoice date, our team is interested in better understanding this idea as it may be something they look to develop down the track. They really appreciate and encourage you to continue to share your experiences, pain points and insights. This will help them understand how this feature can benefit you and other customers, as well as gauge demand for it.
As always, if there's any change we will let you know via this idea.

Crucial to have - we currently struggle to lock monthly TBs to keep them as per management accounts reported. E.g. if invoice is received after period has been reported, to post it into following period you have to change the invoice date to fake date that 1) creates mismatch between invoice and Xero record 2) delays VAT recovery when it's applicable. There are other reasons this is critical to have - I'd suggest either separate fields for posting and invoice / document dates or ability to assign it to one of 12 periods (and thus setup number of periods in Xero in the first place)
