I created two Invoices for the same Customer for the same amount.

I paid the first Invoice via the REGISTER PAYMENT button on the first Invoice.

I see that a PAYMENT was created (account.payment).

I want to pay the second Invoice via reconciling my bank statement.  I created a statement and clicked on reconcile, but a PAYMENT (account.payment) was not created.

Why?

Odoo won't create a Payment - it will just record the corresponding Journal Entry.

Note: right click the images below and select VIEW IMAGE or OPEN IMAGE IN NEW TAB to see a larger version

Example:

Create two Invoices for Customer A, and Register a Payment for one.  The Journal Items will be like this:



Create a Bank Statement.  Enter, import or synch to get the Payment Details from the Bank (example only - to simplify things, this statement has the payment for the SECOND Invoice only):



When you visit the Reconciliation screen, you will see the Payment, and underneath the two Invoices that it can be applied to - the one in BLUE already has a Payment matched to it:



The information icon shows that Odoo has a record of this payment already, but that it has not been reconciled with a Bank Statement yet:



Match the payment from the Bank Statement with the open Invoice:



Now the Journal Items:



And the Partner Ledger:



So, although a Payment (account.payment) is not created, the correct Journal Entry is created - and the financial information reflects that both Invoices are paid:
