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.

Agree that this is a basic accounting feature and should be considered as an enhancement by Xero. The inefficiencies/ extra work created by lack of this functionality should not exist and doesn't align with best accounting practice.
Also see 'Lock Dates - Allow old bills/invoices to fall into current accounting period' which has a number of recent votes and comments for the same issue.
Would like to see a development/ enhancement by Xero to rectify this issue as it is difficult to see how this functionality works with a scaling business.

Hi everyone, we know that consolidated reporting for multiple Xero organisations is a feature many of you are invested in, and we appreciate you continuing to share your feedback and insights on this idea.
We hear that you need a more streamlined way to manage group budgeting, produce consolidated Profit and Loss reports, and handle intercompany transactions without the need for manual exports and external spreadsheets.
For those looking for solutions right now - As shared by others there are Xero app partners that possibly serve these and wider needs, and you can explore on our Xero App store.
We want to be transparent about the current state of this idea. While we continuously evaluate all ideas, work on developing consolidated reporting is not currently planned.
We know this isn't the news many of you hoped for, especially given how long this idea has been on the platform. We value…

Hi everyone, thanks for your on-going involvement in the idea here.
We understand many of our customers are trading internationally. While we haven't been able to deliver a solution as yet, this is still high on our radar.
Right now, depending on the country selected when setting up organisations will have different field options - Sort code in UK, BSB code in AU and Routing number in US. This explains the differences some in the conversation have mentioned. I appreciate it's not a solution but for the time being any extra detail (IBAN or any other banking detail) for the contact could be added as a note to the contacts record that can be looked up before making payments.
For our UK customers that have set up international bill payments - Though not direct from Contacts you can edit and save international payment details for a supplier through the flow…

Additional bank detail requirements are necessary to be stored as part of contact information, to allow for international payments. We are in the US market however have requirements for UK (Sort code/ account number) and EU (IBAN/ SWIFT).
Would expect this as basic functionality and it creates inefficiencies in our payments process.
Xero should strongly consider this as a development/ enhancement feature as for a scaling business it is difficult to see how the functionality continues to work for us.

Keen to understand when, if ever, there will be traction on this? It is basic accounting functionality and clearly a key requirement for many of Xero's clients. There have been no updates since Feb 2024, which is disappointing
