    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to add dates to individual lines of an invoice. Currently our team are focused on improvements to new invoicing and we want to be upfront we don't have any plans for adding a date column to the details grid within an invoice atm.

    Right now if you do require dates for individual line items we'd recommend adding these within the Description field of the line.

    We will continue to review this as we continue to evolve the product. If there are any updates or changes, we'll share this all with you through the idea here. Thanks

    Hello Kelly Munro not a convincing answer to the problem. This has been an issue for several years. I am in the process of transitioning to Xero from Reckons and thank heavens found out early that there is no column for service date. Shocked and deeply disappointed!!! We are a service base company that attend to businesses in hospitality, age care, just to name a few, multiple times a week and it essential that we have a column for date of service on our monthly invoice. When I realised that this not an option, which in fact should be a simple basic feature on an invoice I have decided that I will be remaining with Reckons. To say this is not in your future plans is simply LAZY and CONCEITED!

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your engagement and sharing how custom fields would be advantageous to you here.

    With lots of work for 'building on beautiful' underway atm, we want to be honest that custom fields is not planned in the near term.

    Some in the idea here, may find the recent addition of Notes that can be added within the Contact Details section of a contacts record useful in being able to record and view specific detail relative to a contact at present - More on this shared here

    We'll continue to evaluate the viability of largely voted ideas such as this when there is resource, however this unlikely in the next 12 months.

    I am converting from Reckon to Xero and paid and just realised that there is no column on the invoice to add a service date. We have the majority of our commercial cleaning business customers on a monthly single invoice that require several service dates within that month. Just realised that this is not possible.
    Extremely disappointed as heard the Xero was the Rolls Royce in business programs.
