[GNC] Accounts Receivable: How do I handle a Tip?

[Mark at Lorimark]

I 'unpost' the invoices and edit for a new line containing 'tip' and 
post that to a different income account (cuz I like to count my tips) 
re-post the invoice, and pay it.

It bothered me too until I asked around and then I got over it.

I love gnucash because it allows me to 'fix' or 'redo' or 'delete it 
all' without restriction.  It's my data!
