On Hold invoice number
When you start a hold, their should be a separate number AND batch for holds (just like how quotes works) so that when you create an invoice, the numbering system doesn't skip. Also, so the date is correct when the hold is finally transferred to an invoice status.
This request has been submitted for development.
Some of this functionality may also be handled more appropriately in our new Denali Job Cost Module, which is currently under development.
More information will be available regarding this in early 2015.

This may come in handy within our organization also. We have a trailer and fill it with materials. These are on a hand written ticket so not taken out of inventory. They use what they need on location which could be a month and we pick up the trailer and only then invoice what they used.
Meanwhile if there was a Hold Invoice as stated, it possibly could keep our inventory correct and then we could credit the parts that had been returned before invoicing. I don't know if this would be the same type of thing because ours would be in Work Order and not a "true" invoice yet? -

Hmm. I understand where you are trying to go here, but holds and quotes are slightly different items. A hold is an invoice with an invoice number that is placed on hold for some reason and when it is resumed, the customer would continue to get the Promos and other types of discounts that were available at the time the invoice was started.
The quote is just that, it is if you purchased this item now, this is what you would get it for, but when you finally do purchase it, those prices and discounts might have changed.
If we change holds to work the way you are talking about, does it not make them work just like quotes? What do we need two different ways of handling these transactions that work exactly the same for?
