If the invoice can not be deleted before posting, that would probably mean
it is unsuitable for use in the UK, as I believe invoice numbers have to be
created sequentially.  One should *not* have invoice numbers of 1, 2, 4, 7
etc.

The user interface is obviously important, but the lack of some basic
functionality is annoying.

The other thing that I would like (support for crypto currencies) is
something that I expect I could easily add to the source code myself. But
there’s no way I could add the invoice/proforma invoice, is not something
that I am going to be able to do.

I will have a look around and see if other open-source software that might
meet my needs better.

I think the ability to convert a quotation into an invoice, *and also to a
proforma invoice*, is pretty is pretty important.
