Automated invoicing.

[Derek Atkins]

Nope.

Invoicing is one way..   Invoice -> CoA.  There's no way to take
CoA issues and turn it into an invoice.

Now, what you COULD do is just enter your items in the Invoice
UI directly instead of the CoA..  And then you can do chargebacks
to the other company.

But as I said before, the best way to do it through the CoA is to
account for only your part of the expense and keep a single
Asset account for how much the other company owes you.
