Invoicing questions

[Diann]

Yes-that is what I currently do - generate either a receipt from a word
processor, or hand-written from a receipt book.  Just asking and seeing if
it was possible to keep it all in one place.  Thanks for your input.  And-I
like your idea of creating a singular customer to handle it - may try that.

I don't use the invoicing functions, but in other lives I've used
systems that had no facility for one-off invoices.

What we did was set up a customer called something like "Adhoc
Customer", and print invoices for that "customer". It didn't get rid of
the create invoice, print invoice stuff, but it at least got rid of the
hassle of creating a new customer every time.

For just receipts, though, can't you just print one using a word
processor and enter the amount into GnuCash later? Heck - even get a
pre-printed receipt book and do it by hand! I realise that's a pretty
lo-tech method, but it might be quicker and easier in the end :-)
