[SQL-Ledger-users] How to use the links feature

[Glenn R. <gl...@co...>]

Hi,

I operate a couple of small businesses and out of all the open
source accounting software I could find sql-ledger seems to be the
one that will suit my needs the best.

However I need to be able to include GST on all AR and AP
transactions but I can't figure out how the accounts need to be
set up to do this. I guess it's got something to do with the links
feature, but I don't really understand how it works and the link
accounts setup page doesn't indicate what relationships are being
set up.

Specifically what I need to do is to have the GST component of all
expenses and income to be shown on all customer and vendor
invoices and put into into separate accounts for expenses and
income. The GST to pay to the tax dept is then worked out by (GST
on income - GST on expenses).

Could someone please help me with an explanation of how links work
and maybe a  simple example of how to set it up for my GST
situation?

Thanks in advance
g (in New Zealand)
