Posting to accounts

Terry,

Well, I designed the A/R system such that you don't need
multiple sub accounts.  Indeed, it is specificall designed so
you only need one, and all invoices and payments are posted
to that one A/R (or A/P in the case of vendor bills) account.
May I ask why you feel you need multiple A/R accounts?  Do
the various aging reports not work sufficiently for you?  Is
there something else you want/need that the one-A/R doesn't
give you?

I have not yet implemented the "unPost Invoice" which is what you'll
need in order to change the account...

As for a custom invoice, you should look at the invoice.scm file.
What in particular do you want to customize?

Thanks,

-derek

PS: Thanks for using and testing this code!
