Revenue - set a different accounting date to date of invoice

Question

Hi!

I have a problem with the invoicing process in odoo. When an invoice is created and posted in odoo, the revenue is always posted in the month in which the invoice is issued. Why is there not the possibility to choose a different accounting date to the invoice date? (Just like it is for vendor invoices).

Revenues must - at least according to German GAAP - always be booked in the period in which they were delivered. We are a service company and charge our time accordingly from the previous m

1. Activate Odoo Studio on the Customer Invoice form View.

2. Show Invisible Elements:

3. Scroll down to find the Accounting Date field

4. Edit the Conditional domain for the Invisible flag:

You will then see the Accounting Date for all Customer documents (Invoices, Credit Notes, Receipts) in addition to Vendor documents.

Yes it's possible by editing the following *View* (with debug mode): /*account.move.form*/
For example, you can edit the /field/  named /Accounting Date/ and remove the /invisible/ attribute and its criteria.

@Ray Thank you for the answer.
Any other way to implement this without having to buy odoo studio? As this is basic accounting rule, it should be standard. Just like vendor bills.
