Don't think of it as "paying an invoice", think of it as "paying the
customer".  When you pay a customer GnuCash will apply that payment to
one or more invoices.  When you happen to select an invoice (note: this
is 100% optional!) during payment processing, that invoice will be the
first in line to get the payment applied.  After that, GnuCash will
apply the payment in FIFO order to any outstanding invoices.
