Hi Armaghan,

As I am sure you are aware, I currently use LedgerSMB 1.2.17 (should have gone to 1.2.21 by now but work keeps getting in the way :(
Hi David, thanks for the reply. Yes I know and have read you contributions too (excellent work) :)
We actually have to deal with this ourselves, our solution is simple just create both a customer and a vendor record with the same name.
Actually I would like to automate this probably with database triggers. I think I can keep the customernumber/vendornumber same for both rows and then do other things based upon this common number.
We do not transfer balances from customer to vendor or the other way.
Personally for ease of tracking on the accounting side, I feel it is easier to require that the customer actually pay every invoice I issue, and I pay every invoice they issue to me.

You could create a "linked account update" function that automatically does both a "cash payment" and "cash receipt" for this scenario, but I feel that it needlessly complicates tracking, to say nothing of the problems that could arise if the other party does not do the same.
I am not sure how to handle this bit or probably write a new function/form to transfer/adjust balances between the same customer and vendor. Will be great if some other users can share how they are doing it right now.

Thanks
Armaghan
