On a purchase invoice/purchase credit memo it is sometimes necessary to change "posting date" due to closed periods etc.
But when "posting date" on the purchase invoice is changed, the "document number" is also changed automatically.

Suggestion is to stop automatic changes to "document date" since, "document date" since the invoice date on the purchase invoice is not affected by when we choose to post it.

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future. Sincerely, Business Central Team

At least there should be a publisher before the "Document Date" is validated as there is in the Sales Header:

OnValidatePostingDateOnBeforeAssignDocumentDate(Rec, IsHandled);
if not IsHandled then
if "Incoming Document Entry No." = 0 then
Validate("Document Date", "Posting Date");

Agree!
In Sweden we have a feature called inward registration where the invoice gets preliminary posted at arrival.
When finally posting the invoice after approval the posting date needs to be changed and since it updates the document date which updates the due date, the due date needs to be corrected on every invoice in this routine.
Give us the old way without connection between posting and due date a back! :)
