When a client has "overpaid" me (including "pay in advance"), I just process it as a payment. This puts it in the "accounts receivable" account for that customer (just like a payment), but since there is no invoice to "subtract" the payment from, the "accounts receivable" for that customer has a surplus. A future invoice will chip away at that surplus. > > > > > Thanks, > > > > Ryan Carver > > SIXTY FORTY DESIGN > 410-365-2747 > 6040design.com > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > [email protected] > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > > > > -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services [email protected] -- Webhosting Services _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
