I like that idea. I often looked for such a functionality where I can store my incomplete sometimes just missing of an internal number prevents putting items on an invoice for a month and it needs to wait for the next month.

At the moment I use an excel sheet where I store the incomplete work. Ones it is ready to be invoiced I copy it as a position to the invoice.

If such a "storage" for incomplete work were available in GNC and I could just move a position inside GNC from a stack of incomplete work to an invoice it would be great.

I also tried importing the positions of the invoice to the invoice however, for me using the excel sheet is easier.

It would also be desirable if I could copy positions from an incoming bill to an outgoing invoice, e.g. when I re-sell products. I have not found any functionality that would allow me such a method. Any ideas?

Maybe not to this level of detail, or with this specific
solution/suggestion, but the basic question I've seen several times,
because the UI does not make it obvious.

I'd really like this feature too, but not in a report so much. I'd just
like to not have to go the long way 'round to find un-posted invoices.
But my idea involves an entire re-write of how the Business Features
works at present. That's beyond my time or talent for now, and I respect
that devs do things for their own needs, on their own volunteer time,
and try to be as responsive as possible, but can't please everyone.
which is why I haven't mentioned it. I'd bet there are other users
silent on such issues for similar reasons.

This would have been my suggestion but you beat me to it.

Another would be to use a 'work completed' account. (I do this for some
customers/projects) This is where I record work as it is done, then when
I am ready to invoice *and post*, I book it against this 'work
completed' account. If there is any balance in that account, it means
there is work not yet invoiced. I still need to figure out a good way to
rapidly identify *which* transactions in the account haven't been invoiced.

The only time I don't use this account is when I'm ready to post when
I'm writing an invoice with little or no delay after the work is completed.
