Why does the invoice need to be posted before an automatic code is generated?

Question

Hi Everyone,
Why does the invoice and accounting entry function require posting before an automatic code is generated? Why doesn't it automatically generate a code like the purchase order when the record is saved?

Hi,
*Legal and Accounting Compliance*: In many countries, accounting documents like invoices, journal entries, and bills are subject to strict legal and fiscal regulations. These documents need to be finalized and validated before they are assigned an official number. Once posted, the document is considered legally binding, and the number assigned to it is part of the audit trail.

Thanks.
