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.

I get a lot of invoices which are either coming in the month after the product/service was supplied or which are invoiced in advance. To ensure the value is posted to correct month need to create a lot of manual journals and to reconcile balance sheet account balances. This really needs to be fixed and is usual for accounting systems.
Of course if an invoice can be split to several months even better (eg for rent biled quarterly in advance) but I recognise that may be pushing things. It may however be useful to take into account when designing this functionality.Jonathan Nicholls

Xero reports have newest month on left and comparators to the right. However for doing management accounts and time series you need the newest month on the right, with the oldest month on the left. Having the ability to decide whether months go from left to right or right to left would massively help produce management reports. As it is I need to reorder columns in excel.
A further advantage of this is you can drop a new months on the right in the previous month's spreadsheet. This can't be done if months are being added to the left!
