The currently supported workflow is that workflows can be shipped, not
sales invoices.  The problem I see as far as our support right now is that
payments can't be attached to orders.  In other words shipping happens
prior to invoice.  I suspect that the shipping routines could be modified
to track shipping of invoices.

I can see this might be a common requirement since very often you take a
payment prior to shipping.  I have generally wanted to redo this as a part
of redesigning order management with the idea that invoices could be issued
after shipping (and I still want to do that) but I think we could really
use something more immediate because this is a significant limitation.  Let
me see what is involved in this and see whether we can offer this as a new
feature in 1.4 and maybe a backport for 1.3.  My gut says this shouldn't be
too difficult but I won't know for sure until I get into it.

Question for everyone else:  Is a "ship after invoice" workflow something
that would be generally helpful to everyone else?

Best Wishes,
