Posting an Order Without Shipping the product

Hello,
 
Other than creating a Proforma Invoice, is there a way to invoice an open Sales Order without actually shipping the item?  I know this is not best practice but customer needs the invoice prior to shipment.
Thanks!

    If it is a single pre-billed amount, the Prepayment capability is your best option.  The invoice and cash receipt will apply to the order when it eventually gets shipped and invoiced.
     
    If it is multiple pre-payments, this is not yet supported out-of-the-box.

    Hi, if you don't need to associate the sales order, you can post the invoice in Sales Journal.
    But then if your order also needs to be invoiced, this will be repeated.
     
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
