How do we opt out of Invoicing
How can opt out of offering Invoicing to Business Customers? We already have to wait for Amazon to release our funds and now we've got thousands of dollars awaiting payment from customers. That is of course, unless we want to pay another Amazon fee.

Not sure what you are asking.
Why would you want to refuse to include an invoice? It costs you nothing.
If you are objecting to the deferred payment Amazon offers to business buyers -- sellers don't particularly like it -- but it's just a slight delay.
You cannot refuse to provide an invoice (or at least should not), nor can you "opt out" of Amazon's offer to business buyers for deferred payment.

Amazon will use your products and tie them up with invoiced sales whether you want them to or not. Its just another way they "help sellers" on the platform.

You don't. You are lending Amazon money at ZERO interest to make them look good.
In fact with every sale you are lending Amazon money at zero interest. Then if Amazon determines to hold your payments - so sad too bad, Amazon wins.
And now that its tax time get ready for your 1099 form where Amazon will list the gross of all "your" sales (although you actually "sold" nothing since the buyer is Amazon's customer and not yours) but does not deduct the money they did not actually pay you (like fees, postage, processing, "taxes", etc.). It will be up to you and your accountant to claim everything that Amazon did not actually pay you as business deductions. Or you will wind up paying income tax on the entire amount.

amazon expects you to run this like a real business. Terms are part of that. I just received a letter from a large customer that they will now pay at 120 days.

Hi @Seller_SgjUmhy4KfTAi,
Steve from Amazon here, thank you for the question. At this time, opting out of pay by invoice is not an option. However, if you believe there may be an issue with receiving funds for invoiced orders, I am happy to look into that further. In that situation please provide me with any Case IDs that have been created to Seller Support for this.
I am dropping some additional resources below regarding Pay by Invoice if you are interested in learn more.
Please let me know if there are any other questions.
Thanks,
Steve

Would you rather the buyers buy from someone else instead, rather than having to wait a month for the funds? Accounting for overall sales, just how high of a percent are your invoiced orders? 5%? 10%? 25%? More? Personally, if they were over 25% of gross revenue, that would start becoming an issue, but for me, less than 15% is not going to affect the bottom line as I have a credit card to keep cash flow going and getting paid when I get paid is fine at that point.
