I'm actually curious of this one myself.  After digging through the rippled code, I didn't readily see a way to do it.  I believe it might be a shared hash, so it could be originating from someone else.  Let me get out my Schwartz horn and see if we can call for help...

The InvoiceID can be anything at all that communicates to the recipient how the sender intended the payment to be applied. The Bitcoin outbound bridge uses it to [designate the Bitcoin address](https://ripple.com/wiki/Services_API#Payments) of the recipient. I don't know if the URI scheme offers a way to specify it though. If not, it should.

In Ripple [payment transactions](https://ripple.com/wiki/Transaction_Format#Payment_.280.29) we can specify an invoice ID that is used to make payments for a particular invoice. Is there a way to specify such an invoice ID in [Ripple's URI scheme](https://ripple.com/wiki/Ripple_URIs#send)?
