Choose at which pointe items 'leave inventory'

Importing sales invoices in foreign currency

Make Sales Order Reference# Automatically Available When Creating Invoice
When creating a new Sales Order it's very common, for example, to reference a customer's incoming purchase order number--and this is sufficiently accommodated by the Reference# field.
