Chris, That is one of the features of GnuCash I miss after transitioning to SQL-Ledger / LedgerSMB. In GnuCash, you can edit and save a transaction without posting it ... i you attempt to edit a posted transaction, you are warned that it is posted and, in the case of an invoice, are given the option of "unposting" the transaction - this part is not exactly proper accounting procedure, but convenient (being prompted to enter a reversing or corrective transaction/ invoice would be an alternative handling of a posted transaction).
While I am at it, the second thing I miss about GnuCash are "rollup accounts" ... this is especially handy for knowing at a glance what I owe the government for GST or Payroll taxes. For example: GST: --> GST paid on purchases --> GST charged on sales --> GST remittances/credits The "rollup" GST account shows my balance (positive or negative) which is the sum of the sub-accounts. I raised this feature request with SQL-Ledger a few years ago and was blown off ... I know it wouldn't happen without a re-think of the present application architecture ... but while we are collecting a wishlist :) Roy On 18-Mar-2007, at 16:23, Chris Travers wrote: > > As I think about it, it might not be a bad idea to have "draft" > documents that could then be converted into quotations, orders, and > invoices. It would probably be handled as a subtype of order. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
