I like how this report is displayed.

It’s separated by customers.  Then Payments are in bold and the invoices they’re linked to are listed below them.

This report makes it very easy to see what payments/invoices are linked. 

In my example, you can see Anthony Scott Adams made one payment that covers two invoices.

You can click anywhere on a Payment or Invoice line to open the transaction. 

If I click on Anthony Scott Adams’ payment it opens payment #5629 and shows the two invoices it’s attached to.
