Hi,

I mean that one sort txn has been created by the "Create Invoice" process, and 
the other sort of txn is created by the "Process Payment" dialog.
As far as docs go, I haven't looked at them for years, but I'd suggest the 
business chapters in the concepts guide etc. may cover this.

I know that altering stuff in the A/R (or A/P) registers is generally not 
possible, and is never a good idea.  TBH, I don't think I've ever used the 
flag for anything, nor have I ever tried to change it - sorry I can't be of 
more help to you on this.

Cheers,
Maf.
