[GNC] Attaching receivables to a customer?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I use an Accrued Revenue account as a child of A/R. I post entries to it 
manually as I do the work, with the balancing split against a 
Revenue(Income):Sales account (with sub-accounts of Sales for different 
types of work I want to track)

That lets me see work I've earned money for as it is completed.

When I invoice it, I do so against the Accrued Revenue account on the 
line items rather than a Sales account. (as that is already done)

There's no automatic list to choose from, so you do have to make sure 
you add those line-items manually unfortunately.

As I write invoices, the Accrued Revenue child account decreases, the 
A/R parent increases, so there is no net A/R change, and now I can send 
a statement to my customer and post their payments against it and track 
that activity for them.

For historical work, you can edit those entries to work in the Accrued 
Revenue part of it.

Regards,
Adrien
