• Create a Manage Payments screen where you can view sort all the payments - Non editable - but can add payments from here

Stage 3:

• Reports: create some basic reports to report on payments
• ? New Invoice - look at adding an autocalc js into the New Invoice page and maybe add a payment fields there - so its an all-in-one page
• Add a tick box into the New Invoice pages to say: mark invoice as paid in full” so it'll automatically process a payment for the total of the invoices - Usefull for generating receipts

Stage 4:

• Reports: create more advanced and detailed reports – ie, Days overdue reports etc.
• Add in the Quick View a 'Generate' option to enable the printing/pdf/xls/etc.. of any other invoice preference – ie. there'll be a drop down list - if if you created and invoice - you'll be able to select 'Receipt' from the list and it'll print(or whatever action you select) a Receipt of the Invoice

Stage 5:

• Manage Invoices - add a days overdue field
• Add a System deault ?/maybe? where you can specify the default payment period and base the overdue stats off that and the invoice create data
