I'm using the business features for our bills and have issued a few invoices to some customers, e.g. some sponsors ask for an invoice. The main problem I have is that accounts with type RECEIVABLE can't be selected as an Expense Account when entering invoices; perhaps I shouldn't even be trying to use an Asset account here, but as well as handling subs for members I also need to handle 'fines' (misconduct charges and admin fees) that are levied by the county football association whenever a player is given a yellow or red card. The club is invoiced and pays these fines, and then we get the player to reimburse the club. I enter the invoices from the county FA into gnucash and want to be able to assign them to the appropriate club member account. As I can't do this using the invoice dialogue I have created a spreadsheet for these bills that I then import. This method allows me to assign the fines to one of the accounts that has type RECEIVABLE. (You could argue that if it is not possible to do this through the dialogue then it shouldn't be possible through the import.) So importing this spreadsheet works, but it means extra work. > On the editing front, have you tried doing a test edit of the account type to > see if something breaks?

Thanks for your help and that of others who have replied.
