Re: Linking payments to invoices

[David Mora <..hidden..>]

Hi Matthew,

We have built some approach for a modified version of sql-ledger, and
we are building this
now on trunk.

Basically what we did is a prepayment/overpayment system that allows
you to "use" (link) this payments
against invoices latter, so you can track both payments without an
invoice and overpayment linkage.
