I Invoice once a month. Often, there are amounts from the previous invoices that have not been paid before the new invoices are sent. I want to be able to show the balance due - including the past due amounts - as the total due. I cannot figure out how to do this. Any solution that involves re-editing all of the slips etc... will not work, because we do too many invoices to make this practical. I need to place a field on the invoice that automatically shows the amount due - which includes payments made and unmade.
I would also like to see this feature in Billings. Right now, there's no easy way to maintain accurate invoices with specific clients who are regularly behind in payments...

I've started using Billings more lately, and overall really like it - but this is one of my larger complaints.
It seems to me that since unpaid invoice amounts are available to be added in the report templates, they should be available to the invoice templates also.
I cannot get over how ridiculously useless this program is - there is apparently NO EASY WAY to re-invoice a client showing partial payments and any new charges. Have the developers ever run a business before? Do you not know that you re-bill people and show recent payments and new charges?
Now, if I'm missing some obvious step (that is clearly not obvious enough to this user of the program), please direct me to its explanation.
But, if not, would you please either promptly correct this or take the product of the market. Or rename it "Accounting Playschool" - it's definitely not for grown-ups.
This is my MAIN gripe with this program. I always get a percentage up front, and there is no way to reflect a partial payment when sending final invoices. It's so annoying.
