Night Owl Coffee Roasters' invoice NS-XPYT4-2 to Corner Cafe ($240.00) shows $100.00 paid by bank transfer, leaving $140.00 owed. PayPal says it was due October 24, but its record shows it was created and emailed to the buyer just seconds before this alert, and the buyer has not opened it yet. Nothing in Nightshift's own ledger covers this invoice. Before anyone chases the cafe for $140, please confirm the invoice was meant to go out today with an October 24 due date, and that the $100 transfer really arrived.
