[SL] How to account for pre-payments

[Kevin B. <kb...@fr...>]

Hi,

What is a good way to handle pre-payments?  I.e. we make payments to our 
accountant to pre-pay towards an invoice which is then raised at the end 
of the year.

Currently, I assign them to a suspense account - and then reallocate 
them.  But this is a bit of a pain as I have to delete these 
transactions later, add as a receipt and then reconsolidate the bank 
statements.


I suppose I could prepay to a debtors account - but how would I remember 
to pay this against the outstanding to stop our bookkeeper from paying 
the invoice twice!

Cheers,

Kevin
