Answers.Text: Thank you for you answer.
  We do realize that invoicing is not a strength of CiviCRM.
  And it seems you extension will do the trick to have all information in one place.
  
  Not all of our cases are non-profit and therefore we need to issue invoices.

  I have two comments:
  
  1. CiviCRM is not really good in invoicing. So my advice would be to do the invoicing part in a seperate system, usually an accounting software might do the job
  2. I have made an extension to link Contributions to a case, check it out at: <https://github.com/username_1/org.username_1.casecontribution>
  
  May I ask what exactly you want to invoice from the case?
