    We appreciate the interest gathered on this idea, everyone. At this time we don't have any immediate changes planned for lock dates, but as we continue to develop parts of Xero this is something we'll consider as a possible enhancement for lock dates. If there's any news I'll be sure to update you here.

    I totally agree with this but I also think that it is important for the accountant/authorised user to be able to unlock dates just for one transaction. If you are in the middle of period-end and have locked the date then unlocking the date would unlock it for everyone and someone else could mess up your period-end work. In other softwares the accountant/authorised user can keep the date locked and just uplock for that one transaction that they are posting using a password. The main lock therefore remains closed and the period data protected.
