payment reference, invoice references and amounts applied

• Allocate a partial payment across several invoices and preserve the remaining balances.
• Keep receipt of remittance information distinct from confirmation that funds settled.

message reference, subject and related business document

• Preserve line breaks and readable content in the receiving work queue.
• Test an urgent message linked to an order and assign a human owner instead of silently filing it.
