If the person that is paying isn't specific (i.e. they don't say, I am 
paying 100 for this invoice and 50 for that) you are within your rights 
to allocate the payments as you see fit so long as you tell them.  I'm 
presuming no dispute about services done, offered, etc.

The normal accounting way is to allocate the payments to the oldest 
invoice, produce statements and keep communicating.

This isn't gnc specific, the "tidy up occasionally" exercise should 
result in a statement of account, the number at the bottom being what 
you expect to be paid.

If your client / customer / whoever disagrees with your allocation of 
payments then you have a conversation, this is generally a good thing.
