It is a discount, but the issue is: 1. It's multiple invoices to the same client 2. I want to create a new, final invoice that summarizes the expenses that will be reimbursed and the actual services being paid for. Two different amounts on a single invoice, with a single total(but separating expenses and sales).
Just doing a discount wouldn't do this, and would be harder. There were like 10 invoices that client had. So, I have paid those ten invoices from "renegotiated accounts" and created a new invoice with expenses+sales agreed on. The only issue is, there is not a "bad debts" third account in this situation. Not sure how to implement something like that? I had "losses from renegotiated accounts" but that didn't seem to work.
