Geert, thank you for your replies.

I just tried to use this facility for the first time and it didn't 
work too well for me.

I have a customer that paid me and I had an invoice already posted. I 
was using an imported value in my checking account to assign as 
payment. It went ahead and acted correctly, showing me the proper 
screens and proper payment, but it created an A/R entry that was a 
split entry: one of the splits being the checking account value and 
the other being a zero entry for "Imbalance USD". This looks like a 
bug?  Also, I noticed that there was not a "P", rather a "?".

In order to make my accounts correct, I had to fall back to the 
previous method of paying manually and then copying data across to 
the new entry, deleting the old imported entry.

Regards.
