What can go wrong & what can you do about it?
In creating a Customer Pay Service Order the only issue you can have is selecting either the wrong unit that is being worked on or the wrong payment method. If you find that you have the wrong unit on the invoice you can change the unit (as long as no payments have been recorded) by clicking on the Select Customer icon and then select the correct customer. The other issue is that you selected the wrong payment method when paying the invoice in this situation you could re fund the entire invoice using the incorrect payment method and then clone the original invoice and pay with the proper payment type.
