Keep in mind that a payment could be applied to multiple invoices; it's
not a 1:1 map.  So if there are multiple invoices, which number would
you put into the transaction notes?

Also, have you tried putting something into the "Memo" when you post the
payment?  IIRC that should go into the Transaction Notes field, which
should appear on the "memo" line of your printed check.
