Split Payments

[Kurt Guenther]

I'm still not seeing it.  

If I have 4 outstanding invoices for $5,000 each ($20,000 total) and 
then I get a check for $18,000, how do I process the payment 
correctly.   The check should cover the first 33 invoices, and then 
$3000 applied to the 4th.  

In the "process payment" dialogue, it only has room for one invoice.   
I've been breaking up my payment into 4 payments for each of the 
invoices which should work.  However, the partial on the 4th seems 
buggy.  As once I apply a partial, it seems immune to further payments 
and always stays in the not-paid state.

It seems that when you have a payment for a customer, you have have a 
list of unpaid invoices for only that customer (and their outstanding 
balance), so you can apply the payment to 1 or more invoices.   Payment 
should be a single transaction and funds end up in a "to be deposited" 
account.

So, were am I going off the tracks?
