Ah, I see that I set my preference for the status bar to 'top'. So it must do the same for bills and invoices. We're talking about the same figures though.

Concerning the requirement to mark a line item as invoiced to the customer, that does seem a bit strange. If you didn't want to invoice it, you wouldn't have added it in the first place. (unless I'm misunderstanding how that feature works)

As for the terminology used, you can file an RFE on Bugzilla and if the documentation is lacking, a bug can be filed on that as well.

Notice at the bottom of the image, the totals are zero.

There's no clarity here.  I finally figured out that you have to put an X
in the invoiced column and then press the ENTER button at the top for the
amount to show up in the invoice calculation.  Quite confusing.

The `Invoiced ?` field in the vendor bill seems out of place, as it leads
me to think "has this item been invoiced by the vendor to me" in which case
I scratch my head because the bill I'm entering IS either the invoice or
purchase receipt, otherwise I wouldn't be entering it.

Am I correct in saying that this field is asking "should we invoice the
customer for this?"  But then it seems like it should be sitting right next
to the Billable column and be titled "Customer Invoiced?"...

Confusing process.
