Hi all,
in gnucash-de, noone knew the answer, so i ask here. I use the german
version of gnucash, so please excuse if a have the menus wrongly
translated.
Chess club, non-profit. Account numbers from SKR49 which has been
standard for non-profit clubs until end of 2024.
A club member pays his membership fees for two years by a single bank
transfer.
I add the club member as a Customer.
I write two invoices, one for each year. Account is 2110 (membership
fees < 300€).
I book both invoices. Contra account is 0655 (claims from club matters).
In 0950 (bank account I), i have a split entry.
0950 240€
0655 120€
0655 120€
Now i want to assign the payment to the invoices. I hoped that i could
mark the penultimate line and assign it to one invoice, then mark the
ultimate line and assign it to the other invoice.
But this fails. When i assign the penultimate line to the proper
invoice, the amount in the first line is set to 120€, and the last
line is cleared.
How can i assign the split payment to two invoices?
I am not an expert on these business features of GnuCash. But the author
of them is an expert, and they sometimes respond to questions here.
I did have a somewhat related question about payments on invoices in
December 2024. Here are the relevant answers:

and here is the archive of the entire thread:

What I took away from that conversation is that the invoice payments
feature of GnuCash covers the most common and important use case, but
not all use cases. It doesn't cover my case, where my payments service
deducts transaction fees from my customer's invoice payment. Maybe it
does not cover your case, where you want one invoice to be covered by
two payments instead of one.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
