[GNC] invoicing

[Adrien Monteleone]

You might find it easier to invoice monthly sending that first. Then 
send a Customer Report each following week, which will reflect payments, 
and thus the amount outstanding, automatically. That would significantly 
reduce the effort on your part, and the number of invoices in your 
system. You're just running and sending/mailing a report each week.

You can play with the detail option to show which payments applied to 
which invoices if you like.

If any balance carries over, the report will show how much is aged +30, 
+60, +90 days, etc. It can also reflect pre-payments/deposits.

Adrien
