Invoicing- packing slip that is customisable and available from draft invoice, not just from awaiting payment
Currently, the option to print a packing slip only becomes available once an invoice has been approved and marked as awaiting payment.
It would be really helpful if packing slips could also be printed before invoice approval. In our internal process, we only approve invoices once an order is ready for dispatch, but the factory team often needs the packing slip earlier so they can begin preparing the order.
If we approve the order early just to generate the packing slip, it can create confusion internally, as the warehouse team may assume the order is further along in the process than it actually is.
Allowing packing slips to be printed before invoice approval would help the factory team work more efficiently while keeping order statuses accurate internally.
