If you’re doing manual entries (or importing the invoices as regular transactions instead of as invoices) you determine the accounts posted to so assign the splits as you wish, manually after the import or adding that info to the CSV.
I’d recommend going to the View menu and switching to Transaction Journal mode. (and optionally turn on Double Line mode as well which displays a ’note’ field for the entire transaction so you aren’t limited to only the memos fields on the splits) This will always show all split information so you can see all debits and credits for each transaction. It helps to be able to follow exactly which accounts are involved. Note, how you have this setup here and how this would work with manual entries (typed in or imported) is that the A/R sub-accounts will show $0 if all invoices have been collected on. They won’t show you how much has been paid, but how much is still owed. (if anything) The signs of the figures you show in this screenshot are backwards for the A/R accounts. This looks like the company owes that money to someone, not that someone else owes the company. A/R is an asset because it is revenue earned, but not yet collected. Once collected it is accounted for in whatever account it was paid into. (Cash, Checking, etc.) If you have outstanding invoices you haven’t collected on, A/R should be positive. If someone pre-paid or overpaid, that would be a credit to A/R. Textbook invoice transaction: Dr. Assets:Accounts Receivable Cr. Income:Sales It looks like you have the preference for Reversed Balance Accounts set to ’None’ and this is your transaction entry: Dr. Income:Sales Cr. Assets:Accounts Receivable —which is backwards.
