    Hi community, we understand there are differing needs in this idea for why you’d like a separate posting date alongside the invoice or bill date. Whether it’s for reporting, compliance, or just a more accurate view of when things happened.

    While this has been carefully considered, we want to be transparent with everyone here, that this is not something we have plans for developing in the near term.

    We know given the interest in this that this is not the update you’re hoping for, and please know that we’ll continue to track votes this idea receives for future consideration. We’ll keep you posted if things change down the line.

    @Hannah G and Xero Admin Team,

    The why we need this separate field is related with the ability to close each month and don't need to open again when invoices come on a later date. Currently you need to either open again and post with the document date or post it in the current month with the current date and ignore the real date on the invoice/receipt.
    The first option is not ideal as all the month reporting will change after posting an invoice. The second option creates confusion as the date used to post is not the real date on the invoice/receipt, it isn't ideal for audit trail.
    I have seen the two fields in many other accounting softwares, so I am not 100% sure why Xero does not have it. I will be vary valuable if an Accountant is part of the admin team, because the Accountant will know why this is important and will be able to help the rest of the team understand.

    Thanks in advance
    Adriana

    Hello, This is absolutely important. We close previous periods, distribute reports to management, shareholders and bank then when a new invoice comes we either have to re-open or post it in the open period with the wrong (current) date.
    This functionality is common in many other accounting systems.

    Thanks in advance
    Adriana
