Geert, thank you for your replies and your attention. I am a 
developer myself and understand the hard work that you put into this. 
I have found a problem that I hope you can reproduce and fix.

I just imported QFX values into my checking account today, and using 
the cumbersome method of paying a customer bill, accomplished the 
payment. This gives me a zero balance in A/P before the display of 
the internal lots as before (which are unneeded and clutter up the 
A/P, of course, but that was already discussed).

The problem is that after the first display which brings my A/P to 
0.00,  the first "L" internal lots entry which posts an amount of X 
to the "Total Bill" does not show now a balance of X (before the next 
internal "L" reciprocal value which should return the balance to 
0.00), but shows a balance of 2X! This is only happening on the one 
latest bill, and no matter what I do (delete the payment transaction 
from the checking account, unpost the invoice, re-post, re-import) I 
can't achieve a 0 balance anymore. This means that I now have an 
erroneous balance in my A/P that I can't do anything about. This 
seems to be a serious bug, and looks to be related to the erroneous 
accumulation of balances for invoice payment (which nobody but me can 
reproduce).

Is there some sort of work around for this? Did your other fixes to 
the "Assign as payment" functionality perhaps fix this issue too?

Thanks.
