Create an invoice from a sales order

- Expand the Parameters section. Posting must be set to Yes to post the invoice. You can also turn off posting and just print the invoice. However, you can accomplish the same result by creating a pro forma invoice instead of an invoice. This option is used for batch jobs. The query is run when the batch job is run.
