99% of the time, the month of the invoice date is the posting period that is desired (for both A/P and A/R). It would be extremely convenient to have all posting periods correspond with a date by default. Then if the date does not correspond with the desired posting period, the user would have the ability to change the period.

As well, if the period is closed, it should default to the next available posting period so it doesn't affect reconciled/closed periods.
If anyone else is finding this to be a problem, I just found that if you go to 1-8 General Ledger Setup and choose the checkbox that says "Verify Date/Period", it pretty much solves this problem.
