invoice help please.

[eph man]

hello,

i just installed and setup gnucash for a small business.  seemed to be
pretty simple and straight forward.  but i tried to enter and invoice
for a client and it didn't show up in account recievables?  i posted
it, and i see it when i search for the invoice.  but when i search
results show up it shows that the invoice has been paid as well with a
checkmark?  i read the manual which also was pretty straight forward,
but for some reason i believe i must be missing something?

thanks,
ephman
