Invoice numbering

Hi List,

I've been using GnuCash 1.6.x for personal accounts for a couple of years 
now, and want to offer up my thanks & praise to the developers for a great 
bit of OSS.

I have recently started dual-running my business accounts on 1.8.1 (mandrake 
9.1), in the hope to be able to move away from the Beast of Redmond 
sometime soon.

I have hit a couple of questions, which whilst not show stoppers, are 
causing a bit of a headache for me...

1.  In the business features section, the A/R and A/P "new [invoice | 
bill ]" creation dialogues, the Invoice ID seems to be a single counter - 
i.e. I can't now have a nice monotonically increasing invoice number, as any 
bills which arrive "get in the way".  I can't see any reference to this in 
the release notes or lists - is it something which has been (or will be 
soon) changed to give two individual counts?

2.  I see from the mainling lists that there is no way to automatically 
split out VAT on a "cash" basis transaction.  Does anybody have any hints 
about clever ways to do this, or how to run a credit card & cash as 
additional A/P accounts 


I have tried to upgrade to 1.8.7, but got lost in dependancy hell!  I'll 
probably be buying SuSE9 soon anyway, so will at least get 1.8.5 easilly!

Thanks for your time,
Maf.
