1 payment, two jobs - job report error

[Geert Janssens]

It looks like a bug to me as well. Thanks Katie for making the bug report.

Dave's way of recording the payment is a reasonable workaround. The only disadvantage is 
that the payment is recorded in two separate transactions in the checking register instead of 
one.

Regards,

Geert
