Could primary key value/entity key value been modified?

My invoice is created with negative value INV_NO, and want to change it to be positive after posting?
Maybe I just create a new field to indicate the status instead of using this?

Typically, primary keys are negative numbers that are converted by the IIdGenerator to positive values when they are saved
 
If you want the conversion to happen before the Save, you can use the ForceIdFixup method of the Entity Manager.
