Use of Payment druid leads to confusion...

[Darin Strait]

I seem to be confused as to how to use the Process Payment Druid.

Let's say I invoice a customer for $100. The terms are a 2% discount for 
paying in less than 30 days.

The customer pays me in less than 30 days and therefore sends me a check for 
$98.

I use the druid to apply the $98 to the invoice. When I am done, my Account 
Report shows that I am still owned the balance ($2) on the invoice. 
Eventually, the $2 moves into the 31-60 day period and becomes even more 
confusing.

If I manually enter a $2 transaction into my A/R journal, the report's balance 
is not changed. In other words, gnucash doesn't seem to know that the $2 
transaction should be associated with an invoice for this particular 
customer. gnucash just debits the account.

Should I be using the Process Payment Druid a second time and naming some 
liabilty account as the Transfer Account?
