    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.

    As finance method of posting bills required 2 date field. One for document date and other for Transactions date. Sometime transactions date and document dates are varied due to late submission/reaching the bills to finance team. For example. A bill issued date 15th Aug 2023, due to late reaching to Finance Dept. Period of Aug 2023 were closed. Also Aug 2023 VAT filed. The late reaching Aug 2023 bill contains an input VAT, unable to claim since Aug 2023 filed. If we could have transactions date field at least we can post the bill during Sep 2023 with document date of Aug 2023. Period closing will be considered transaction date. Can you please implement these method.
