So far as I know, the way you described it is the way it works. Some
of the other bits that show amounts due have had bugs in them and
don't always show that right amount. An example of that would be the
Bills Due pop-up that shows up when you first open the file. I think
it doesn't handle advance payments properly and will show amounts due
that aren't actually due. (or something like that).
