The amount owed stays in AR. Who owes it is what changes. How you do that is not specific to GnuCash. You will likely have to employ intermediary accounts, but what those should be, are up to you and your needs/requirements. Perhaps ask a local CPA. Regards, Adrien On 12/6/23 7:01 PM,

Thanks Adrian, All I'm attempting to discover is how - in gnucash - can I use what is owned by somebodyA to pay off what is owed by somebodyB? What is the procedure for using what is owed by one person to relieve another of the debt they owe? On paper, I would take the invoice to

I'm not sure that adds much clarity. Your initial description appeared to be that you had two business entities and you were transferring old debts owed to the first entity, to a new one - where you control/own both. Now it appears that you are 'selling a debt' owed by one entity, to

This is a follow up, with - I hope - a bit more precision and clarity - to this post: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-August/108615.html I wish to sell an unpaid invoice made out to business A (old debtor) to another business B at face value - I raise an invoice to
