The work performed should be handled on a vendor invoice between whatever expense account you have set up for the purpose and a liability account set up to ‘hold’ payments that are to be charged against their A/R (tuition and fees?) balance. This is because you owe them for work performed. It is a liability.
Then you periodically or at any convenient time (perhaps when they perform the work and you make the ‘vendor’ invoice) you ‘pay’ their A/R invoices using the special liability account. I don’t think Equity accounts are the best place for this in my opinion. As for persistent business icons, I too think they should always be visible if enabled. (and not just on the business specific tabs) Best I can tell, you could keep open tabs for Customer/Vendor/Employee Overviews as needed and have access to them that way. You can assign some keyboard shortcuts yourself. I don’t have the doc link handy but you should be able to find something on the Wiki or in the mailing list archives on the subject.
