Alex:

I use the invoices feature of GnuCash, but I haven't logged a payment in 
a while, so I forget the details.

However, in your screen grab, the UI says, "You must select a company 
for payment processing". There is a "Partner" section, with a pull-down 
menu "Customer". What happens when you try to select the customer to 
whom you sent the invoice in that "Customer" menu?

It is strange that the UI uses three different words — "Partner", 
"Customer", and "Company" — to refer to what I think is the same concept.
