Can quickbooks post to the ledger in a different period than the customer invoice date?

Thanks for reaching out to the Community page, @bhohmann.

Once you create an invoice, the date that you enter is the basis in the General Ledger data report. Because of that, the option to post the transaction in a different period is unavailable in this report.

However, you can customize this report to view the specific details of your transactions. You can also memorize it to save its customized settings.
