Invoice

[David Langer]

Creating a variable would allow, I am assuming, that portion of the
invoice to be customised to suit the method of payment.
For example, if the client deposited a retainer to start, then was
invoiced, that invoice would show a memo that they paid from the
retainer or trust account and the outstanding balance. Without a
variable I would then need to change the code again if their next
payment for example was by cash. Furthermore, the next invoice would
be difficult since it would have to describe both the retainer payment
method and the cash method.
