Re: Giving a user a credit

["Chris Travers" <..hidden..>]

Charley;

The payment would be a positive amount, just as if you were entering
it against an invoice.

For the record here are things I don't like about the current system:
1)  In the background, it creates a blank AR transaction to attach the
payment to.
2)  Payments need to be manually tracked on statements.  If we put in
proper handling of interest we have to be careful not to pay interest
on prepayments :-)

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
