    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…

    We really appreciate Xero’s simplicity and intuitive design for managing our business finances. However, there are two features that would significantly improve accuracy and efficiency for many businesses:

    Sales Order Functionality – Having a dedicated Sales Order module before invoicing would help track confirmed customer orders, manage partial deliveries, and monitor backorders without impacting revenue recognition until the invoice stage.

    Separate Posting Date Field – Currently, the Invoice Date is also treated as the posting date in reports. Having a dedicated Posting Date field would allow businesses to comply with accounting policies where document date and posting date differ (for example, when recognizing revenue in a different reporting period from the invoice date). This is standard in many ERP systems and would enhance accuracy in financial reporting.

    These additions would not only improve compliance with accounting standards but also help companies better manage their sales and posting timelines without manual workarounds.
