I am setting up a program for a client who plows snow. He may plow snow more than once for a customer before he gets paid. In other words, he may plow snow on three separate days before he gets paid. The payment will cover all three days. How can I setup an invoice showing separate days and one payment covering all the days. Also he has a customer who trades dog grooming for plow services, how is the best way to show payment for this service.

Both invoices and payment registrations needs to go to the same table, what goes on in the "itemlines" of an invoice or a payment is next to irrelevant, what matters is the summing of services or the abstract merchandise money/payment.

Each of the two kinds of document have opposite signs, so getting the amount the customer owes or we owes the customer, is only a matter of summarizing all transactions belonging to the particular customer.

But unfortunately do I not have access to a fm5 version any more, so making you a template can't be done I'm afraid. Hopefully do you by this have enough to go on??
