There is no universal requirement that this be so. But I understand how 
it is good practice. (I have used it for auditing purposes myself)

The work-around for that work-around (that is, until this is implemented 
officially) is to simply edit the Invoice Number to the next number it 
needs to be before posting. This may or may not involve turning off 
auto-numbering, then incrementing the auto-numbering starting point and 
turning it back on.
