There is unfortunately no link between the automatic import and the business 
functions. The importer doesn't know about invoices or customers, nor do the 
business features know how to check if a payment was imported and mark the 
corresponding invoice as paid.

So there is no alternative to manually performing the payments and/or 
correcting the import statements.

This was discussed no so long ago on the list, but it didn't result in an 
immediate solution.
