Thanks for getting back to this thread, @TCPT.

I understand how the option to hide an active item when invoicing a customer would be helpful for you. I'll make sure to take note of your feedback and will inform you once we receive product enhancement update about the availability of this option. 

In the meantime, you may want to consider the workaround provided by my colleague.
