Hey community, thanks for your continued interest in this idea. Earlier this year we delivered some updates to reports, so that they’ll now show page numbers and date stamps when exported to PDF.

This is an idea that was seeded by the community team when we launched Product Ideas back in 2022.

The Product team has done some great work to address the original request but reading the commentary here, the scope of the idea has grown a bit since then!

We’re confident that this release solves the original request so I’ll be marking this as delivered.

There are additional improvements that have picked up some momentum in the comments: to make the date stamp toggle-able, and to extend the field to include time as well. To be open we don't have plans to progress these specific asks.

    I lodged a support ticket asking how to do this. I recently switched from reckon. Reckon had it obviously. They said it currently was unavailable and directed me here.
    Why would any legal entity or court accept my scribble on a digital document? They show the month so why not a full date and time stamp.

    I can't understand why Xero doesn't have this feature, it's absolutely vital for audit purposes

  • Rob Allen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please make it happen so that reports can be appropriately identified and time saved.
    Would be good if optional, so that if not needed on final reports, it could be excluded, otherwise small font acceptable.

  • Rachel Parsonage commented  ·   ·  Report

    The date a report is run is shown on the "old" reports (that will soon no longer be available), but not on the new reports (even when published)? Seems odd, when so important. Please add the run date to all NEW reports.

    Would be great help when balancing end of month and reprinting reports

  • Emma Rowe commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just 'upgraded' to Xero and cant believe this is not standard on all reports. Make it happen please

  • Nick Fulcher commented  ·   ·  Report

    Available as standard on other packages, soooo helpful !

  • Paul Speechlay commented  ·   ·  Report

    Be great to have the ability to have the date the report was run, and even by whom.

  • 'Tola Adegboye commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is essential and yes a scribble at the foot of a report does not look very professional.

  • Claire Taylor commented  ·   ·  Report

    Great idea - many time have wondered which report was the latest one I printed

  • Susan Penner commented  ·   ·  Report

    A Google search reveals that people have been asking for this for more than 6 years.

    Is that a good clue to how important the community thinks it is?

  • Adele Dixon commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's really important to have the date stamp when printing/running reports.

    - The ability to add a Tracking Code (department) on the disposal of an Asset.
    - Print FA report that doesn't balances directly to General Ledger (ie/ net of disposals)
