How to report an expense in 2005 when the invoice date is in 2006

Hi,

I have recently installed sql-ledger and I am very
happy with it. Kudos to Dieter!

I was able to figure out most things by myself or
with the help of the manuals. However I have
encountered a problem not even Google could help
me with :).

Namely, I typically get invoices dated in the middle
of the month that cover service for the previous
month: I get billed Jan 16th, 2006 for service from
December 1st to 31st, 2005. Now, since I'm using the
accrual method I would like the expense to be reported
in 2005, not in 2006 as it happens when I fill in
Jan. 16th, 2006 for the invoice date.

The obvious fix would be to fill in a December date
for the invoice date, but that seems like a hack.

How do people deal with this problem since I am sure
others have run into it?
