Hi Rich.

I'm pretty sure you should be specifying an income account in the invoice 
lines - Eg income:Sales or Income:Foobar,  not A/R.

If Post Invoice won't select the A/R account, IIRC that probably means that 
either the A/R account has the wrong type, or you've got a currency mis-match 
somewhere between the client, A/R and invoice.

To check you have a valid A/R account - on the tree view page, highlight the 
relevant account then Edit, type should be A/Receivable, and it should 
probably be parented by an Asset account.  Not so sure on where to check the 
currency settings.

HTH,
Maf.
