Is there a reason for not being able to apply an old payment to a new invoice? Is there a configuration somewhere for that?

You need to be more specific

I have a payment for a certain customer, if I created an invoice today for example, I can't apply that payment to the invoice, but if I created a new payment, the invoice show up in the "apply to" list.
Actually, if I created a new payment and set the date to be older than the invoice, save and edit again, the invoice don't show up too.
This behavior is from the UI and from SuiteScript too.

Why did you create the Payment transaction prior to Invoice? Is that a Customer Deposit or advanced payment? If so, you should have created a Customer Deposit transaction. Payment is generally used for payments received on or after the invoicing.

It is supposed to be a down payment, but the functional team wants everything to be a normal payment, for some reason.

The odd thing is it works on other accounts
We just know it has something to do with installments (payment terms)
Never mind, I just wanted to ask if there is a known configuration for it. If didn't work, and we have to do it like this, will contact support.

Try "creating" a new payment and selecting the payment and invoice to net off to each other. As long as the payment total is 0, it will just apply the existing payment and not create a new payment record
