Any sales will refer to either a physical item or a service and hence there must be atleast 1 item before an invoice can be made. Also, youneed to create a direct cash customer for those you do not wish to track and use that i your anoymous direct invoice. Although the menu item is "Direct Invoice", as FA is a full ERP, all steps in making the invoice entry are followed: Sales Order, Delivery, Invoicing - but they are done transparently.

But what if the sale does not apply to an item. On the accounts payable side, there is the ability to post the invoice directly to a GL account. Any reason why this is not possible on the sales invoice?

You're right, you need atleast one Customer and one item to generate an invoice....
After that try Direct Invoice....

What's the easiest way to enter an invoice?

I used a system before where you enter the customer name, the description, the price and tax type and save.
Is there something similar in FA?

From what I can see, I need to have a customer in the system, and Item in the inventory before I can create an invoice.

Looking forward for your feedback.
Thanks,
Ion
