Some.  Problem is when I try to create it I don't get Telephone as an
Expense 'Link' account and it wants an Income Account.  My take is a
service can only be something I provide not something I purchase and
don't resell.

Could it be in a later version of SL?  I'm running 1.6.6

Of course I could just whimp out and do an 'Add Transaction' in A/P
which works but what should go into the Invoice Number and the Order
Number is my other question.

I realize it is my understanding (what is a 'Vendor Invoice') getting in
the way.

My business is 99% service.  The few things I've had to buy and then
resell either haven't been posted yet (...) or have been kludged in
while I tried to figure out what I'm doing.


Thanks for your help on this,
