[GNC] Two invoices, two customers, one bank transfer

[Murugan Mariappan]

Hi Christian

Question:  is the invoice raised under the same customer or different customers?  if it is the same customer then you can use mutliselect and apply the payments from process payment screen.

Subject: [GNC] Two invoices, two customers, one bank transfer

Hi all,

Scenario: small chess club. Parent pays membership fees for their children by
one bank transfer. There is one customer entry and one invoice per child (one
pays the adult fee, the other the reduced fee).

SKR 49, german account plan for non-profit-organizations.

I can split the bank transfer entry:

per 0950 Bank 180 €
                to 0655 Claims from club Matters 120 € (Child 1)
                to 0655 Claims from club Matters 80 € (Child 2)

If  i assign the payment to one invoice, the whole amount is assigned. I can
avoid it by changing the to account of the second part to p.e. 1990 Deferred
income, and then make a second entry per 1990 to 0655 80€ that i can assign to
the 2nd invoice.

Of course this works per saldo. But that is not what is 1990 for, and there
exists no other account that is for „parking“ a sum waiting for being
assigned.

What is the canonical way to assign one bank transfer to two invoices of two
different customers?

TIA
QNo
