The QIF importer has no knowledge of Invoices or any business objects.
You cannot import an Invoice through QIF.  Sorry.

For 900 invoices....  Is this a regular thing or are you trying to
import history?  If you're just loading history I might suggest you
instead "move forward" and just enter in your new data (possibly in
parallel with your previous data entry program) until you get
comfortable with GnuCash.

If you regularly have 900 invoices to load....  You might instead want
to use GnuCash's "duplicate invoice" features to make it easier, but I
would argue that GnuCash might not be the right tool for your invoicing
needs.

Good Luck,
