Thank you. I had seen that during the setup but the implications of it didn't register with me. I am a sysadmin not an accountant (you probably guessed) but I am curious how others see the workflow in this situation. Our business is mostly service oriented and we invoice customers then expect/hope for payment based upon this invoice. For a select few customers we produce statements every month which detail several invoices but otherwise the process is the same. We never have any payment at time of invoice. I had envisaged a workflow like this: Produce Invoice > Send invoice to customer One month later... Sales > Reports > Outstanding > Select debtor > Produce statement and/or chase invoice Once paid the invoice would disappear from the Outstanding list. Producing Sales Receipts seems to create a balancing "invoice" with the amount in the Paid column. These then have to be reconciled against the existing invoices (and I haven't considered what happens to invoices spanning financial years). I realise rules are rules but his seems like a lot more work to me. -- Kind regards, Iain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
