Thanks for the response. This answers the precise question asked, which invoices have not been paid, but the * loses all information about what reimbursement went with what invoice. That can lead to some tricky conversations:
"Hey, I never got paid for invoice 13." - "Yes you did, I have it right here." "Oh, well then it must have been invoices 8&12 which I didn't get paid on. They add up to the same amount." - "Talk to me when you've got your story straight." For the application I'm thinking of it would be the IRS I'd be having that conversation with. They usually pounce on such weaknesses.
