Unposting and reposting an invoice or bill can sometimes result in the payment 
being dissociated. This usually occurs, I find, if an older invoice/bill for 
the same customer/vendor is not yet paid off, then the later payment will get 
auto-applied to that earlier invoice/bill. Thus the payment will no longer be 
associated with the proper invoice/bill and it will show as unpaid, but the 
register data all looks correct. (the linking is a hidden data point) On rare 
occasion, even a payment for a different customer/vendor can get applied to 
someone else’s invoice/bill. (I’ve seen it once)

This is fixed by un-assigning the split to the improperly assigned invoice 
‘lot’ and then re-assigning it to the proper one - but all of this using the 
View Lots window. (not the right click method, though that might sometimes work)

Sometimes, the payment gets dissociated from any invoice/bill entirely as its 
own free lot. This is usually fixed by using the right-click option to assign 
as payment which is a similar process to the process payment window. (same 
window I think actually, just a different way to get there)

It’s only by looking at the View Lots window that we can determine which method 
to use for the fix.
