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…

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

@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
