    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!

    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…

    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.
