 Many accounting systems assume that the user would never possibly generate an
 invoice without realizing the income immediately.  In most for-profit setups,
 this is true, but for non-profits, there is good reason to generate invoices
 before accruing the income.  In fact, if you're  generating an invoice merely
 to "inspire" a donation, it's wrong to accrue that, since you don't have a
 good faith belief that the invoice will be paid.
 ## <a id="purchase-order-required"></a>The "Purchase Order Required" Example
 Many organizations do require issuance of a purchase order before invoicing
 is permitted.  However, this isn't mandatory, it's just common practice and
 likely this isn't even possible with the types of
 [[reimbursement requests|UseCases/ReimbursementRequests]] that some
 non-profits have.  (By way of example, Conservancy is sometimes "surprised"
 by a volunteer [[reimbursement requests|UseCases/ReimbursementRequests]], so
 there's no way we can "require" a PO issuance before accepting any invoice.
