    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.

    This isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it's a critical feature that all accrual accounting systems should support. By not offering this functionality, Xero risks losing startups and other businesses that require it to operate effectively.

    It’s been about a year since Xero last communicated on this topic. Has there been any progress or updates? This feature is essential, and it’s frustrating to see no movement on such a basic yet vital need.

    Looking forward to hearing where things stand.
