If you're using FMP to create line items for an invoice you'd should do
it with a link file using the invoice number as a key field.
Conceptually this is the relational equivalent of using repeating fields
in a file but without the limitations (and it adheres much more closely
to a correct relational model).

just stick an FMP 'beep' or 'show message' step at the end of the FMP
script OR, if you _really_ need AS involved, put a 'perform AS' script
step at the end of your scriptmaker script with whatever type of response
you'd like (Display Dialog or whatever)
