Important Considerations

When an invoice is created, its status is 'created', and associated journal entries are created in 'draft' status.
An invoices journal entries cannot be modified, you must edit the invoice itself and the associated journals will be updated.
Once an invoice is Issued, the journal entries will be posted.
