Having consecutive invoice numbers

Hi,
In France and probably in all Europe is mandatory to have consecutive invoice numbers without any blank.

It's very important for NOP commerce developpement to be able to get rid of "false" orders ( incomplete, unpaid orders) that generate an invoice number.

The invoice in French laws (and probably European laws), must be generated when the order is sent, not before ,not after.

It's very important that NOP developpers find a solution to cope with that problem.

You can read that thread for better understanding:

Thanks a lot for suggestion! Here is a work item.

The question is what we should do when three customers place three orders (e.g. 10, 11 and 12). Customers are redirected to a third-party site to pay for them. But the second one (order 11) decides not to pay. Orders 10 and 12 are already placed (and paid). What should we do with order #11? We have to choose and save order numbers when we place (save) an order. What if this customer will pay for it only in three days (e.g. wire transfer, we don't know). Any suggestions?


P.S. In nopCommerce we have to save orders before they are paid (not after)

Isn't it possible to have order numbers and invoice number different?
I mean adding an invoice file which would be incremented by the shipping status?
