Since the introduction of `Order number` field where you actually select sales order, the free text `Order number` has been obsolete.

In the latest version, the field is visible only on invoices where there was something previously entered. But I really want to discourage use of this free text field for new invoices. I mean there are two `Order number` fields which is rather confusing.

Any reason you can’t use proper linking between your sales invoice and sales order using the new `Order number` field which is next to the `Customer` field?
