Dieter is suggesting a different way of doing it. The way I use is what you started to suggest: > > I thought to do as you said above Richard, however, when I'm at the screen AR/Payments for ABC Inc with two lines for entry, one for each invoice. The first payment line for invoice 1 has $100 for the amount header, so I'd enter 50.00 here for the payment into Checking Account. But since it's not the full payment, wouldn't this invoice show up as unsettled in the reports? No, if you do it this way, you need to enter the payment as +$100 for the first item _and_ -$50 for the second item. This closes both items and leaves the correct balance paid (+$50), although it shows as two payments that add up to that balance. I think that Dieter's method is better style, and easier to audit as the correct amount paid shows in the payment account as a single item. -- In fact, I shall probably adopt Dieter's method when I get round to it. It is another demonstration of the flexibility and superiority of sql-ledger. -- richard ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
