====Default Payment Instructions====
If you create a remark with the name of **''PAYMENT''**, the text of that remark will automatically be pulled into the **Payment Instructions** field on a sale invoice when an invoice is created.

Then, if the invoice is in GBP, the remark named **''PAYMENT''** GBP will pull into the **Payment Instructions** field.
