question about income account and cash advance account

[John Griessen]

Suppose I have an income account called cash advance, and then create an
invoice, and then pay the invoice from the advance.  Would that work OK
to pay an invoice from a current asset instead of an income?

Do you handle this differently and why?

Thanks,

John Griessen
