Rich,



I suggest you either

1) enter the exact amouint recieved as received, and then use G/L
Transaction to book the remaining outstanding amount to banck charges
(A/R credit, bank charges debit)

However, iseems to me that the bank charges your client or its corporate
offices have should not be your problem.
Should be part of the overall pricing / deal /payment agreement, especialy
in an international setting I think.
My suggestion:

2) send an invoice for goods/services amount x, add a seperate line for
foreign bank & administration charges of 10 per invoice and up the total
invoice amount.
That way the net received money is what you wanted to begin with..
