Is it possible to create an invoice draft without adding Invoice Number until sent?

Is it possible to create an invoice draft without adding Invoice Number until sent?

Hello!

I know with a lot of time in advance when I will need to send invoices and its full details. However, there is no option to set a "Future sending date".

I was thinking of creating draft invoices as soon as I know, but not assigning them an invoice number until they are sent. As this would mean that I would still need to enter manually in the system and "Sent the invoices/change them from draft to active", I would like this process to be as automated as possible (not manually checking what number is the last invoice issued, and typing it).

In addition, I want the invoice number to have a number sequence that is also chronological. In other words, independently on what invoice was created first, the first issued/sent invoice should have a lower number than any future invoices.

Is this possible?

Best regards

Juan
