I use an Accrued Revenue account as a child of A/R. I post entries to it
manually as I do the work, with the balancing split against a
Revenue(Income):Sales account (with sub-accounts of Sales for different
types of work I want to track)
That lets me see work I've earned money for as it is completed.
When I invoice it, I do so against the Accrued Revenue account on the
line items rather than a Sales account. (as that is already done)
There's no automatic list to choose from, so you do have to make sure
you add those line-items manually unfortunately.
As I write invoices, the Accrued Revenue child account decreases, the
A/R parent increases, so there is no net A/R change, and now I can send
a statement to my customer and post their payments against it and track
that activity for them.
For historical work, you can edit those entries to work in the Accrued
Revenue part of it.
Regards,
Adrien

Many thanks, I was afraid I was going to have to redo all the entries.
Well, at least I'll have it right going forward.
