Ok, using the workflow I described before, the select box is unticked by default. I guess I started out with LedgerSMB (or SQL-Ledger) by choosing a customer from the drop-down, then update and then filling out the amounts and clicking post. Does that not seem logical? Then I discovered that if "select" was unticked it would muck things up, so I added this to my workflow, after filling out the amounts. It would never have occurred to me that LedgerSMB would fill out the amounts for me if I choose a customer from the drop-down, then update, then tick select, then press update again. Why would I expect it to do that? It took your comments above for me to experiment & discover this behaviour. I have experienced the negative & unpaid invoice problem a number of times, and it always casts a shadow (at least) upon my day. Thus I have never intentionally vary from my now-established routine.
