save pending invoice

Thanks for visiting the Community for your invoice concern, @susanhd. As an insight, saving as drafts option is unavailable in QuickBooks. 

However, we can view the account's Audit Trail to check if the pending invoice was saved successfully. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Scroll down to the Accountant and Taxes section.
3. Select the Audit Trail.
4. Update the Date Entered/Last Modified field with the period you want to view.
5. To add additional filters on the report, use the Customize Report option.

If you can't find the invoice, I'd recommend creating the invoice again. 

I'll be including some articles to help you make the most of our reports in QuickBooks for future reference:
