Invoices: Process Payment

Hello List, hello Derek,

I'm currently trying to get familiar with the invoice payment procedure, but 
it seems to only model the "got cash" way of paying an invoice, correct?

This is, what I want the invoice payment to do:
 - I sell s.th. and create an invoice
 - this invoice shows up in A/R (asset)
 - the Income/Sales is credited

 - now the customer pays the invoice
 - via HBCI I see this payment on my checking account
 - now I like to "link" this payment with the invoice item in A/R
   this seems to be impossible.

The process payment command creates a new transaction to my checking account, 
which is not correct.


Is it possible to modify an imported (via HBCI aka aqbanking) transaction to 
behave like a payment?

If not, I'll need to code that. Or is there a fundamental flaw in my 
description above?

Sebastian


PS: I also like to have a more "intelligent" process payment druid (take the 
description of the selected transaction and try to find a matching invoice 
(customer))
