Well, actually I can - though I understand I shouldn't. Even though the numbers don't add up, the reconciliation is accepted. >> Also, If I reconcile the invoice with the credit note, the full invoice >> is marked as paid, even though the amounts debit/credit differ. Is that >> a bug? > I do not understand what you have done. Could you explain this a little > bit more? I have two moves in the menu you mention (reconcile lines), both for the same party and account: move name reference debit credit 103 20110100 20110042 0.00 83.32 42 20110042 176.72 0.00 Here, move 103 is a credit note for one of the invoice lines in move 42. I'd like to reconcile these, or rather make it obvious that the invoice line involved is marked as paid, and therefor invoice 20110042 is partially paid for. If I select both, hit 'reconcile lines', select the same journal and account used for the invoice/credit_note, the invoice changes state to 'paid'. Smells fishy to me, but I'm not an accountant :-) >> Finally, the invoice view has a tab for payments, but how can I add >> payment lines here?

I did a rgrep on the code and noticed. But I'm not processing bank statements here - which is what I thought account_statement appears was for. > If you did not install account_statement there is a 'Pay Invoice' Button > on the invoice form to enter payments for the invoice. That button is for cash payments only, afaict. But I'll start playing with statements. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl -- [email protected] mailing list
