Resolution/Fix/Answer

Within the invoicing process you can change both the Invoice and Posting dates to be something other than the Cost Through date. 

The Invoice Date is defined on the "Prepare Invoices For Printing" screen.

The Posting Date is defined on the "Complete Invoice Processing" Screen.  Note: The period needs to be open to the User back dating a posting date.

Both of the above screens are required as part of the normal invoicing process.
