Oh..  Good to know.  Hrm.  This might cause a problem.

Oooooooooh.  There's a thought!  What I had been doing was using the
parent account of the Split to point to the Order and pointing to the
Invoice as a GUID in the kvp.  Making the Entry into a Transaction and
using Splits to point to the Order and Invoice would certainly be
clever, if a little "heavy-handed".  But it might work.  I'll go look
into that.

Thanks!
