Calc Invoices to Pay?

No, I'm looking for "all the unpaid and posted invoices" whose totals
adds up to the check payment amount.

I can only think of one other exception... and that would be if the
customer had 2 or more unpaid and posted invoices with the "exact same
invoice dollar amounts", which for us is rare.  

Remember that we have already filtered out all paid and on-hold
invoices, so that only invoices that can accept payments is where the
focus is.

I think you missed a critical part.  He's not just matching individual
checque amounts, he's matching one sum against multiple cheques.  Please
show me the SQL statement that would come even remotely close--because I
don't believe it exists even in Oracle, much less fPSQL.
