Hello,

In FMP5:

In an invoice where a total and taxes is calculated from parts & labor, sales taxes etc; there is a field that accepts cash amounts as payments and the amount owing displays accordingly.

We need to keep the users from "overpaying" [they actually do it!] the invoice total in the payment fields since that totally bollockses reports etc.

Would really appreciate any strategy suggestions.

Bill
