[GNC] Some basic questions about bills and invoices

[Eric H. Bowen]

Sorry if this comes across as too elementary; I'm using GnuCash in a
home-based business and I'd like to take advantage of billing and
invoicing capabilities more fully.

First: I'd like to be able to generate custom "printable invoice"
formats for specific purposes. Say, I'd like to have a "Price Quote
Request" bill template which I can submit to a vendor with item
information shown but pricing columns omitted. Plus a "Purchase Order"
template with appropriate verbiage, and on the jobs/customer side a
"Price Quote" template...all of these from unposted invoices and bills,
of course. I can do this; I was able to modify and save the
templates...but I can't figure out how to access the saved templates! I
have to go back and re-invent the wheel each time; is there a way to add
my custom templates to the menus for easy access?

Secondly: If a customer submits one check or electronic payment to cover
two or three invoices, how do I split it when applying the payments?

Thanks for the help, and apologies if I come off as too much of a rock!
