IN DECEMBER I HAD A CUSTOMER WISH TO PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT TOWARDS HIS SONS ACCOUNT AS A GIFT (WE DO NOT ISSUE GIFT CERTIFICATES) BUT IN A SENSE LIKE A GIFT CERTIFICATE

SO I CREATED A RECEIVABLE INVOICE APPLYING IT TO MISC. SALES (REVENUE ACCOUNT) TO SHOW HIS AMOUNT AND THEN ISSUED A PAID RECEIPT

THEN I CREATED A RECEIVABLE INVOICE FOR HIS SON WITH A NEGATIVE AMOUNT TO MISC. SALES ALSO

I AM NOW DOING HST AND SINCE NEITHER OF THEM HAVE HST THEY ARE SITTING IN MY REPORT (CANCELLING EACH OUT) BUT IS THIS AN OK WAY TO DO IT.

SO WHEN HIS SON COMES IN TO PURCHASE SOMETHING I WILL CREATE A NORMAL INVOICE WITH TAXES AND POST IT WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BRING HIS ACCOUNT TO ZERO

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE WITHOUT CREATING ANOTHER G/L ACCOUNT FOR GIFT CERTIFICATES OR IS THERE AN EASIER WAY.
