start processing a order without a invoice

[mb_manager]

Hi

Is there a way to start processing the order without generating the invoice. 
This invoice has no legal placement, and we would like to change the status from pending to processing without the invoice. 
Thanks

Hello @mb_manager 

You can assign the New Order Status. I will give some basic info:

Login to Magento Admin > STORES > Configuration > SALES > Payment Methods > Choose the Payment, you will see the config for the New Order Status:

Create the New Order status: STORES > Order Status, we can create a new status for the custom payment. And then, we need to assign this status to the new state.

In short, one state can have many statuses. You can define any status, for your understanding.

Hi 

Thanks for the reply. I guess that's the way, but I still don't get it.

So I assign ie: bank transfer to pending

I've created a new order status ie: 

Payment receive and assign to pending state 

When a customer places a order the status is pending

On the orders page (admin ), I can change to payment receive, and the state is processing

However if I click on Ship , the order goes to suspected fraud (?) 

Only if I make the invoice is going to complete.... 

Maybe I need to create more status ?

All I want is this in the orders page (admin) 

New order -> pending ( ok ) 

Payment receive ? -> processing 

was it ship ?  -> complete

Maybe I'm overcomplicating and this is very simple
