When you click New Invoice the pop-up window contains a ‘Date Opened’ field that you can set. (the default is ’today’)

The individual line items can be set independently, but that is just for reference, those dates have no bearing on when those line items hit your books.

When you post an invoice, you get to set another date, again, either defaulting to ’today’ or you can change it. All line items will post as of this date. (if you check the box to ‘accumulate splits’ you won’t see the line item detail in the relevant accounts, but if you don’t check the box, all line items will show in the transactions in the relevant registers)

You also get to set a due date, but if you’ve chosen defined terms, it will be calculated for you and you can’t edit it. Simply don’t use terms in the posting window (or when you create the invoice) and you’ll be able to set a custom due date.

Regards,
Adrien
