Hi, I'm trying to understand some Credit Memo fields:

• `amountpaid` (labeled "Amount Used" in the UI)
• `amountremaining` 
and
• `applied`
• `unapplied`
I'm confused about the distinction between these two sets of fields. Wouldn't `amountpaid` always equal `applied` and `amountremaining` always equal `unapplied`?

My best guess is that `applied`/`unapplied` are updated dynamically as you edit the Credit Memo, whereas `amountpaid` and `amountremaining` reflect what's been committed to the database, but I'm only guessing.
