Hi Rich, I have a suspense account (like a bank account) and in expenses bank charges account.
I pay the invoice by what client pays to my bank and the difference to the suspense account. Than I create GL entry between suspense account and expense account.... I do not have many of those transactions (clients must cover their transaction charges) so it works for me :).

When I go to Cash -> Receipt and see the single line for an outstanding invoice (for US$x, how do I enter payment of x-US$10 and charge that $10 to the bank service fees account? The situation, briefly, is that I'm retained by a client paying from their corporate offices in Canada. At the beginning of each month I send an invoice for US%x and a couple of weeks later x-US$10 is transferred to my bank account. The difference is what their bank charges them for the wire transfer. Since the invoice I send is for $x, that's the amount shown as due in A/R outstanding and displayed when I want to debit the payment to my checking account. Until I learn how to handle this within L123, when payment has been made I retroactively change the invoice to subtract that $10 from the amount due. Since bank fees are a business expense, I'd like to have them reflected on the books. Please offer your ideas and suggestions.
