draft invoice
Instead of using the next invoice number in sequence, I would like to see a "Draft Invoice" placeholder. This will help to make sure the sequence remains intact when we have drafts that end up being deleted. Right now we have gaps being created in the Invoice Number sequence when Drafts are deleted. So instead of assigning an invoice number, can we set it as a "Draft-###" and only assign the number when it is approved? Part of the issue is due to the Integration with our Proposal Software creating an automatic Draft Invoice, but we need to commonly make changes before sending - and sometimes other invoices have already been processed, and so there is a timeline gap being created that raises questions in an accounting review of Invoice Sequence vs Dating Sequence transactions.
