That sounds like a BillingAccount bug, and a big one too! In fact that is a deal killer bug.... A credit limit is just that, not a payment, so the invoice shouldn't be marked paid... The FinAccount stuff isn't an alternative to a BillingAccount, it is for a different purpose. They are for tracking how much money you hold for a customer, like a bank account or a gift card or a pay in advance for small or high risk purchases. -David
