How to make consistency in Accounting Date on the AP Invoice

Summary:

AP Invoices have accounting date fields at the header, line, and distribution levels. These accounting dates can all be edited to display different dates, but GL posting only uses distribution dates as per our understanding. This causes discrepancies in reporting as some reports look at the accounting date at the header or line level which may not match the actual accounting date in the GL. This also causes issues when users update the wrong accounting date and have invoices posted in the wrong period. 

Is it possible to have these dates aligned throughout all fields so that reporting and posting can be accurate?
