Unfortunately the only way to tie a transaction to a Business ->
Customer would be via an Invoice. I think there may be a way to tie a
transaction in A/R directly to a Customer via the right-click context
menu in the A/R register. However, I don't know when this feature got
released (it may not be in 2.4) and also it's unclear how it would work
with both + and - transactions.

If you can write E-Lisp then you'll be fine.
