Invoice booking

My doubt is when we have to account purchase invoice in books??
(based on Invoice date or invoice receipt date??)
Please explain for both goods invoice and services invoice.
Thanks in advance

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct date for recording purchase invoices in your accounting books. The consensus is to use the invoice date, not the date you physically receive it. This applies to both invoices for goods and services and ensures easier reconciliation with systems like GSTR 2A.

You should enter according to invoice date, It will be easier for you in future to matching GSTR 2A.

Both  in case  of  Goods  & service  Invoice  you have  to  book the entry as per  date  of  Invoice  in  Books  of Accounts ,not  when you  received  Invoice  in  your company  or department  . (  Date  mentioned  on the invoice ) .
