dealing with invoices and QIF imports

[Leigh Morresi]

Something i've never been able to clear-up for myself even tho i'm
following the recipe from the documentation, can someone shed some
light?


Im creating an invoice, with the 'Income account' set to
"Income:consulting" and "Post"'ing it to my Assets -> A/R


http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/bus-ar-invoices1.html


And then once i receive payment i process the payment as per

http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/bus-ar-payment1.html

So now now the payment is "Transfer account: Assets -> Checking" which
is all cool.

now the part i dont understand

I'm doing a QIF import from my bank, I have a structure as thus;


+ Assets
  - Accounts Receivable
+ Expenses
  - Computer Repairs
+ Income
  - Consulting
+ MyBank

When I import a .QIF it asks me for an 'Account Name' so i enter
'MyBank' - now i end up with a 'MyBank' entry in my account tree (whhich
is fine i guess? or should this be elsewhere?)

I tell it to put payments in the QIF import for monies for work i've
invoced for into "Income:consulting"

Now when i view "Income:consulting" i see have duplicates of just about
everything, the "Transfer" field says either "Assets->A/R" or "MyBank"

so it looks like my income:consulting is roughly twice that of what i
should be at.

what am i doing wrong?? should i be deleting the items from my
"Income:consulting" that have a transfer of "MyBank" ? (so that
Income:consulting always shows my total income not includin the fact
that those invoices might not have been paid - altho this difference
*should* be sighted in accounts receivable?)

cheers
