Solved It (Was: Problems Posting Payments to an Invoice)

[Terry Morse]

When I reassigned the payments to the invoice after unposting and reposting it, the new payments from the beginning of the invoice period were credited as a lump-sum at the end of the invoice period. Hence, there was no remaining balance against which to to credit the payments.

>In reviewing my "client's" (actually a friend; I'm doing this for free) accounts to generate year-end tax reports for her customers, I added some charges to the beginning of a customer's invoice that are credited to the income account "Income: Sales." When I try to enter payments for the new entries (either before or after reposting the invoice) through the Process Payment dialogue box, there is no outstanding balance listed in the Documents field to which I can link the payment. Hence, I am not able to enter the payment. The "post to" account is Accounts Receivable and the transfer account is Orphan--USD.
