Enter your idea

Just to let people on this thread know - there is a "posted date" filter on the Journal Report, however I agree that having this field as a column option for all transaction reports would be much better!

Please show entered date of transaction. This is essential o ensure any late postings can be identified.

I am new to Xero after previously using SAP and I'm really surprised entry date isn't a reportable field, i.e. the date the transaction was actually entered into the system. I think this is essential for reconciliations to ensure any late postings can be identified, e.g. back dated journals or invoices that have resulted in a change to an account balance.

Appreciate this was 4 years ago now but I'd like to bump this suggestion.

When processing yearend accounts it can be difficult to find any changes which have happened in the PY. Adding a date raised column would alleviate this somewhat.

I understand we can lock Xero to certain date etc but clients aren't always the best at following the rules

The API currently makes it impractical to reproduce the Account Transactions report that exists in the Xero UI.

There is no supported way to query account transactions by transaction date. Developers must page through all journals using offsets and then filter client-side, which does not scale. Rate limiting further complicates what should be a basic accounting query.

Xero documentation appears to acknowledge this limitation by warning about modified-since filtering while offering no date-based alternative.

Please consider supporting this feature. At minimum, server-side filtering by JournalDate would materially improve the API. Ideally, the API would expose an Account Transactions endpoint equivalent to the UI report.

I've found a way to import costs into the software that we record job details on but without being able to filter by date created on Xero this is going to be a cumbersome process - please Xero make it happen!

Super important

I review postings by bookkeepers to Xero.

It would make things easier if the account transactions report could be filtered by the date that new invoices and journals were posted.

For example, when writing this I am in the middle of reviewing changes to the quarter ended 31 August 2024. If I could identify the new invoices added to that quarter it would save me time.

The date I am talking about is the actual date the invoice or journal was added, not the date entered on the invoice.

Account Transactions Report - Please add "Created Date" Column option to the Accounts Transaction Report
Currently "Created Date" is only an option on "Payable Invoice" and "Receivable Invoice" reports.
This can make it much more difficult to audit certain areas such as VAT to reconcile historic periods where late postings have been made.

I need to be able to sort accounts transactions by posted date so that I can see what transactions I have already invoiced back out for transactions I need to recharge another company for instead of manually going through each transaction one by one to see if it has been recharged. As we progress throughout the year, this will just become more and more time consuming

This report is absolutely critical for us, we run parallel finance systems as a shared service centre, a whole host of our subsidiaries use Xero and unfortunately people have been back posting and we need the actual posting date along side the date of transaction as well as the persons name who posted it. Can this be built into the account transactions report? Please let me know if this is possible on +447462182999 uk number.

100% agree with Luke Irving below. If you are working in a team, this feature is essential.
"It would be really helpful if we could add a column to Account Transactions reports to show the date the transactions were entered on the system. History and Notes Activity is insufficient for this purpose because it doesn't allow us to filter by transaction date (as far as I'm aware)"

Get onto it please Xero👍🏼

Please do this. Will save a mountain of time when trying to determine changes to accounts after year end has been completed and the 'Lock date' has been missed.

ADD 'Created Date' to Account Transaction report

I need the 'Date created' field added to the Account Transaction report so i can easily pick out new transactions added to specific accounts.
My typical search would be against the Gross Margin accounts for 1Jan - 31Jan, filtered by created date of 1Feb onwards - this would pick up any transactions entered for the period after the period had ended.
I know this is currently possible in the 'Payable Invoice Detail' report but i need a report that includes bank payments plus manual journals.

I see this feature as being very valuable to many Management Accountants needing to add new data to their reports.

Thanks

It would be really helpful if we could add a column to Account Transactions reports to show the date the transactions were entered on the system. History and Notes Activity is insufficient for this purpose because it doesn't allow us to filter by transaction date (as far as I'm aware)

Please - this would actually save hours and hours of time. Going through each individual transaction to find it's entered date is far too long! Sage has this feature.

Hope to have a Column for Created Date and Last Modified Date that users can filter for the Sales Tax Report or Account Transactions report so it will be easy to track transactions that was changed.

Example - Needed to identify entries posted to GST account after previous BAS was reported. This is needed to confirm validity/audit trail of prior period adjustments needed for following BASs.

yes please - this is a definite gap vs Sage functionality
