When you pay an Invoice, Emerald sets the expiration date to the end of
the last non-voided invoice for the customer. We are working on true
aging reports for the payments that will allow the expiredate to be
set to the last paid invoice. However, because of the change to
a balance forward billing engine, the way to determine what the last
fully paid invoice was has changed and is no longer a trivial SQl
command like it was.
