!! When are invoices marked paid?
You can always mark an invoice "paid" by hand, but we do it automatically if you enter a payment amount that takes the balance to zero.
!! Can I restrict the list of unpaid invoices to see just unpaid invoices for MY projects?
Yes. Provided each of your staff is [[security | logging in]] with their our FileMaker account name, this is easily done. Enter layout mode and double click on the unpaid invoices portal (called "InvoicesSideBar_UnpaidInvoices"), you'll see that "filter portal records" is checked: click "Specify" beside that.

!! Where to the Bill To and Ship To addresses come from?
These are gathered from the invoices contact as soon as the contact is selected. If any of the contacts alternate addresses have labels containing the words "shipping" or "billing", those addresses will be used. Otherwise we use the main address for the contact.
You can, of course, type in addresses by hand: it is best to do this after you've selected the contact for the invoice.
