Being able to record payment for invoices with out interfering with Banking

My current set up benefits my accountant as he links all my transactions to my banking but the problem we have is I can't record payments because of this as every remittance I receive my accountant makes up an invoice to suit the remittance amount therefore the invoices I create have no bearing other than informing my customers what is owed. I have to manually print off the invoices and put them into files of 'invoices due' and invoices paid' - the software isn't user friendly for my needs. Surely this can be separated which means I can simply record payment without interfering with the banking side of things?

    I agree. I'd like to be able to send out a remittance note to a supplier at the time or in advance of the payment is made - not the time the payment appears in the bank transactions so the supplier is a) aware the payment is about to be made and b) are instantly aware of which invoices the payment covers when the money appears in their account.
