If you have both a pre-payment and an invoice unpaid, simply select both of them in the Process Payments window. If the net is zero then they will both be cleared out.

If there is still pre-payment left, that remainder will be their next time.

If there is still invoice left, it will continue to show as unpaid.

You may need to use the 'Edit Payment' in the right-click menu on the transaction however.

I was late with my property taxes this year and incurred a penalty. I had earlier entered the billed amount as an invoice payable to the tax collector. I finally got the funds together to pay the amount, including penalty, in full. I entered it as one payment transaction, of course, since it was one e-check, and now it's showing up in my "Accounts Payable" as two transactions, one for the remaining billed amount (I had made partial payments earlier), and a separate transaction for $136.63 representing the penalty and interest which appears as an unassigned pre-payment.

OK so far. Well, now that I know the total penalty I entered another invoice for that amount. Fine. Now I want to pay the invoice with the pre-payment. I go to the payment screen and the pre-payment shows up there. But I can find no way to apply it to the new invoice. How do I close this [expletive!] out?
