For example the NL is closed for the previous month and you receive an invoice late but still want to pay to terms you enter the posting date as 27th Feb (today) but the document date as 1st Jan (invoice date). The ageing reports would use the document date.

Good idea. I have worked with other bookkeeping systems which allow a separate 'document date' to be logged, useful if needed to record a late-arriving document.
