Glad to see you here, @lsefcik.

Allow me to share some information on how QuickBooks Online records the invoice you received from your vendors.

When your vendor send you an invoice, you’ll record it on QuickBooks Online as a bill, since it is your payable. The invoice date you’d see is the bill date you must enter in creating a bill in the system. However, if you choose to use the actual date when you avail the service as the bill date you can actually do so. Then, use the invoice date as the due date on the invoice. By doing so, it will not mess up the integrity of your AP aging.

On the other hand, posting date refers to the date when your payment was cleared by your bank. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community if you have other questions about creating a bill. Cheering you to continued prosperity.
