Invoices are accounting transactions.  Sales orders and quotes are not.

There may be exceptions to this. There are some businesses who treat
signed sales orders as binding as purchase orders.  At least, they
report them as business items to management and shareholders. I am not
trying to draw exact parallels between purchase orders and sales
orders, but work flow security and auditing issues should be dealt
with in both the above cases.
