The Invoice type is intended for cases where there is no original purchase
from the entity owed money. For example, credit card or utility bills do
not have a single purchase associated with the debt. I am fine with rolling
this type into the existing Order, but it should be simple to say "this is
a water bill for December" or "American Express is billing me for November".

After the new year, I will send along some examples.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll clean these up.
