    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…

    find it strange why xero didnt have this feature. Sales are supposed to be posted to the month that services/goods are delivered according to most accounting regulations (accrual basis) . Without any posting date, my sales are recorded in Xero in the next following month as that is when i issue my invoices after completing the whole month. So now in xero , i have to keep reversing my sales to manually enter into the correct month when my services was delivered. its a lot of work with so many invoices. if this is not implemented, ill need to move on to another system that provide such feature as i dont have the time to always doing the reversals

    Dear Xero Team

    I have been using Xero for a year but because Xero does not have a posting date for my invoices, every month end closing, i will have to do manual journal entries for all my sales. Its getting too much for me! This is a basic essential every accounting system must have. ... pls get this up ....if not i will have to look at other alternatives!
