Handling Advance Payments Better

[Brucanna]

@sharpdrivetek

why cannot the excess amount be automatically adjusted to a sub-account under the Accounts payable or Accounts receivable

Manager use to have such an account setup called - Customer Credits and Supplier Credits.
But that was eliminated over a year ago as the accounting in the background was not intuitive
([16.7.73] Categorization against customer and supplier accounts more intuitive)

@sharpdrivetek

Please note that the advance payment is not a deposit which can be recorded under a special account

There is nothing to say that you can’t have Special Accounts for either - advance payments & deposits.
