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.

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share your feedback and explain how important it is to be able to add dates to individual line items on invoices.
While this specific idea isn't directly in our pipeline at present, we're looking more broadly at how we may extend documents to better suit more of our customers' needs. We'll be taking this idea into close consideration as part of that work.
For now, as noted in my last update the best option to accommodate this in lieu of a direct field is to add the detail to the Description field of the line.
If there's any progress, we'll be sure to let you all know here.

Having a 'use date' against line items would avoid customer confusion when receiving my invoices. I run an activity centre, and invoice visiting schools once after their visit. Have one line item covering multiple days of 'camping', or an activity, isn't clear.

How hard could it be ? The option for this and a seperate column for docket numbers. Surely it would be easier for users to delete unwanted columns than simply not to have them

A much needed feature. I currently have to create a separate invoice for each date of service. Instead of being on the same invoice.

This would be a great feature. Really surprised it doesn't exist like it does for literally every other invoice generator since forever.
Also a way to select "all days of the month", "all working days", "all working days minus public holidays" would be incredible. As it stands I bill monthly for time, not products, so I have to enter each date as a line item. When I expand my team there is no way I could continue using Xero invoices if the feature set isn't significantly expanded.
