Open invoice from account entry

[Shane Litherland]

Hi all,

I must echo Geert's comment :-) I guess over the time of using GNUcash,
I've got accustomed to using the search option under the business tools,
and let the idea fade somewhat. But it would be handy (save a bit of
time). even if it was achieved via the A/P split (e.g. when viewing in
an expense acct, jump to Liability acct, then to bill..??) this wouldn't
necessarily speed things up but might give some ideas on how to
implement in stages (eventually becoming an option straight from the
expense split itself...?)
??

Lloyd, if you put in a bug/enhancement request, do post back with its
number, I'd like to read/comment/follow it once its there :-)

regards,
shane.
