Receiving payments on invoices

[rmomxtx at gmail.com]

Figured it out. The overpayment shows up in the process payment window as a
credit. If you select any outstanding invoices to be paid and the
overpayment, the overpayment is applied to the outstanding invoice due and
the amount due is reduced by the amount of the overpayment.

Thanks much,
Roger

When you process a payment, the payment is applied to all outstanding
invoices, current and past (you don't generally specify a specific invoice,
unless there is some partitular reason to match a payment to a specific
invoice). I don't know if over payments will be applied to future invoices
-- I've never had to deal with that (the few times I have had over payments
there were no future invoices planned, so I just "absored" the over payments
as a "gift" ["tip"]).  My *guess* is that the overpayment becomes a credit
that will get applied to a future invoice, if you don't "edit" the split to
do something else with it.
