Possible to not assign an invoice number untill printed?

Is it possible to not assign an invoice number until the invoice is
printed?

Sometimes I have multiple jobs for mutilple customers going and I like
to start an invoice and add the items to it as I complete them to
macke sure I don't forget them.

I'm using QB 2004 pro. My old version had this feature (V2.1 for DOS)
It would show **** for invoice number until printed. This way I could
tell which invoice was still open to add items to. Which I'd still
be using if it not for the request of my accountant. Lost a lot of
features, gained a few.

The other feature I miss is being able to view the invoices in a style
just like a check register.

Do any newer versions offer either of these?

Thank You,
Randy

You can mark an invoice as pending and then create a report that lists all
your pending invoices which you can select from the report and modify same.
