Your Option 2 is the clean way of doing it. Why does your invoice date matter to you as your AR is correctly reflecting.

I do work in December. I think the Income should be booked in December for taxes. But, I cannot send the invoice in December yet (because of specific procedures with the customer). 1. When I set the post date of the Invoice after 31 December (when I really sent the invoice) the date of the Income and Accounts Receivable transactions will be booked in the new month (January). But I want the income to be in the actual month of the work (December). 2. When I set the post date of the invoice on 31 December (which does not corresponds with the real date when I sent the invoice), the Income and Accounts Receivable transactions will be booked in the month when the work was done (December), which from a tax perspective seems more correct to me. I tend to go for option 2. But the invoice date in GnuCash is not correct in that approach. How would you recommend to handle this situation? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.gnucash.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgnucash-user&data=05%7C02%7C%7C0d3ca16e67d64cf866e408dd56769637%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638761789543991462%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8MmK3vXaVBTk9nsGoUsHM0MKFULt5miAKo%2FdXUVATME%3D&reserved=0<https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user> ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
