Business-flow-wise, typically you take an order before everything is done
necessary for the transaction to hit the books, and convert it to an
invoice when everything that has been done for the income to be realized
has happened.  This typically means:

1)  Goods or services are delivered
2)  Any approval/error checking the business requires has happened

One big thing in 1.4 is that approval for invoices is possible so instead
of two steps you can actually have three (goods ordered, invoice pending
approval, and approved/posted to the books).
