Yes, the invoice number is assigned when you create the invoice.  However
it is not shown in the Printed Invoice Report unless it is posted.  Note
that this varies based on the report you use to print the invoice.  For
example I believe the Fancy Invoice will show the invoice number even if
it is not posted.
