Dear GC users,

I am trying to set up GC for a small property management business. There 
are three actors involved:  Renter, Property Owner, and Property 
Manager.  Renter pays rent on a monthly basis to property management, 
and the manager pays the property owner after taking out certain 
percentage of management fee.  Here is the workflow I came up with:

Renter(Customer) --> Invoice --> Accounts Receivable

                         ↓

Rent Payment    ---------------> PM Escrow (Income Account) ------------------

                                                       Check to Owner Issued↓

Owner(Vendor)  ------>  Bill -------> Acct Payable (Rental Passthrough) ------> Rent Passthrough (Expense Acct)

                          | (split)↓
                             
                          -----------> Acct Payable (Commission) --------------> PM Commission (Income Acct)

Could anyone please comment on if this is workable?  Creating both 
invoices and bills every month is kind of tedious.  Any suggestions of 
how to simplify/optimize the process?

I really wished that GC would have the option to link Vendor/Customer to 
a transaction without creating a bill or invoice.  Any future 
development plans for this feature?

Thanks in advance!  -- JC
