This is not a recommended method, but ... :)
1)  You install module *account_cancel
*1a) After install, select journal "Sale journal" and check field *Allow Cancelling Entries
*
2)* * Unreconcile invoice if payment is registered
3) *Cancel invoice* and in next step *Reset to Draft*
*4) Change date*
5) *Validate invoice again *(and reconcile payment if exist)*
*
PS.* Warning! * Invoice number remains the same but order by date changed (possible inconsistency!)

Hi,
The *Bill date* field defined as readonly field in the python side.
So, with a custom module you can change it to be editable even after the validation of an invoice.
Or you must change it directly from the database.
Best regards.

Hello,
Well why this is not allowed out-of-the-box is mainly your all accounting transactions considers the Invoice Date, so
once you validate your Invoice, Journal Entries are posted based on invoice date and currency rate is also taken based on that.
If you did mistake, you can go for cancelling process by creating Refund(click Refund Invoice and choose option for cancel), and have a new copy of your invoice which you can modify. (or Cancel Invoice option is also fine)
Regards.
