The only issue with this tracking for business use is that some can be income related. I have an issue tracking rental property income: I need to work out a way of only having rent payment as income (cash accrual), but being able to generate reports that track rental payments with the property rent required, so I can track rent arrears. There is also a need to track any payments a renter might need to re-imburse. I looked at using the invoicing system, but it was a step too far I felt, as well as not melding with my cash accrual accounting. This requirement also applies to clubs, etc that need to track memberships, etc. Can anyone suggest a cash accrual method for tracking these payments? I have been looking for a system for years!
