Hello,
I contract to a company that uses the App Humanity to track time worked/billed. I receive payment in the form of a check and usual don't know the exact amount until I receive payment. Should I make an invoice for the amount of the check I received and then record the payment?
Thank you in advance.

Last Question: Can you modify the sale receipt payment box?
I can help you with your concerns today, SStevens.
