   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 let you know via this idea.

   I am new to using Xero but have used many different systems over the last 25 years and I cannot believe there is no function for a separate tax date to invoice date instead my staff are changing the invoice date to be able to post invoices after period closed. I am sure this would get us in to lots of trouble with HMRC if they were to pick up on this.
   Xero would not be my first choice at this point
