How to post invoices with a custom date in Business Central?

Introduction

This article explains how the Application Support Team can post Business Central invoices with a custom date. These types of requests might be raised if there was an issue with the billing engine at the time of invoice posting.

The payment due date is calculated based on the Invoice Date. When invoices need to be reposted, they should be reposted to match the initial date when the invoice was synced to avoid any delays that can cause payment issues.
