I often have bank transactions, where I haven’t registered the purchase invoice yet. It would be a nice addition to have a button to convert a bank transaction to a purchase invoice. It should: use the same date copy the account and VAT entries to the invoice alter the account of the bank transac…

It seems poor practice to be automatically altering previously entered transactions. In addition to @Joe91 ’s warning about doubling the tax accounting, you would also have trouble with line items. I suspect you imagine a situation where you have paid for a single line item. Perhaps you have paid a …

[image] joris_manager: where I haven’t registered the purchase invoice yet Do you mean that you have not created an invoice before getting paid? Why use an invoice and not issue a receipt, especially as you refer to “same date”. Basically you need to edit the imported bank transaction in rece…

Sorry, you are right. However the question is similar but I should have written payment rather than receipt.

I don’t see how it’s anything different from booking things on the bank tx. The shipping charges is totally irrelevant as an example, because you face the same ‘problems’ in both banktx as purchase invoice. My question is also not about taxfilings or whatever. It’s a convenient way to create a pu…

Well sure, in the “perfect” world, you’d add every invoice, receipt separately etc. In that case simply remove the possibility to book banktransactions to any P/L account. Because it’s “bad accounting”. In practice it works differently. You pay something, get the invoice at a later stage. Sometimes…
