It can be, take a look at

sort of, the problem is if there are jobs done on 2014-mar-20 and 
2014-apr-20 and you put both on one invoice dated 2015-jan20 it gets 
fiddly, keep it simple, EITHER invoice separately and ask for payment on 
statement OR use the invoice date if you put them together on one 
invoice

>If the latter is the case, I'm perfectly happy to keep it that way.

presuming you're not going to be charging interest for backdated late 
payments and there isn't any complicated VAT input / output matching to 
be done keep it simple by not mixing and matching, there be dragons

usual stuff re not qualified to give advice, worth what you paid for it, 
etc
