See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108570

Invoices are not, technically, marked "paid"..  The way the system works
is that an invoice is considered paid if the Posted Transaction's A/R
Account Lot has a zero balance.  This means you need a way to assign a
manually entered transaction into a specific Lot in the A/R account. 
There is currently no way to do that through the importer or through the
registers themselves (including the Lot Viewer).  Extending the Lot viewer
may be one approach to solving this problem.  But no, there is no way to
have a "mark invoice paid" button because there is no "paid" flag.
