A more extreme philosophical question: should there be an account
for each invoice? If not, how do you keep track of which invoices
have been paid?
Even in my personal finances, this comes up. For instance, I have an
account that tracks all my security deposits; but then it's hard to
tell which have been paid off. The right structure would really have
an account per security deposit. Perhaps there should be some way to
make accounts more transparent? Perhaps general ledgers are good enough
to do this; I haven't really experimented.
