Hello Timothy,
Thank you for your reply
Generally accepted practice as I understand it is to have an
Assets:Receivables account and a Liabilities:Payables account.
Essentially this let's you date the logical transaction (when they
agree to pay you / when you send the invoice) to one date and put the
money in a placeholder account, then date the physical transaction to
whatever day the money lands in your actual bank account.
That's how I administer the invoices at this time.
I don't know how you organize your invoices but you could put document
entries with links to the invoices themselves and then use ^ABC123 as
a link on the document entry and both transaction entries.
I give every invoice a unique link as you describe.
That's how I'd do it at least. Lets your receivables show up on a
balance statement, and also gives you a way to track each invoice
separately.
This indeed lets my receivables (and payables) show up on the balance
sheet, but does not give me an easy way to show invoices that still
needs to be payed. On the balance sheet, I can click (in fava) on the
receivables and on the payables account, but it will show me all
transactions on those accounts, including transactions that belong to
invoices that are payed. It clutters the list when looking for invoices
that need to be payed.
