00:37:25 <keret> hi. question regarding chargebacks, or perhaps invoices more generally.
00:37:56 <keret> have an item i wish to chargeback, so create a new invoice for the relevant customer and job.
00:38:11 <keret> the billable items appear in a list as expected.
00:38:54 <keret> when setting the account, why "income account" am i limited to using any type of account except an expense account?
00:39:38 <keret> assume i pay an expense and wish to claim part of that cost from another party.

00:40:16 <keret> I would like to be able to offset the repayment by the "customer" of a share of the expense against the original expense account.
00:41:10 <keret> I realise I can simply create an income account and record the payment by the "customer" as income, but why am I limited to treating it as income when I want to treat as a reduction of an existing expense?
00:41:50 <keret> I have also noticed that I can, if I choose, select an asset account or even a liability account, but not an expense account.
00:48:57 <keret> I found this thread on the mailing list: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2005-December/015275.html
00:50:32 <keret> I agree with the third message in that thread, in that I do not wish to treat this as income. The original cost is an expense to me. I create a receivable when I generate an invoice.
00:50:46 <keret> The expense remains an expense if I do not get reimbursed, or is reduced if I do.
00:52:04 <keret> From a design perspective, it seems logical to provide users with as much flexibility to record transactions as they see fit, does it not?
00:58:37 <keret> It seems most intuitive to me (as a user) to be able to create a bill for the original expense with either:
00:59:20 <keret> (a) 2 separate items, one billable for reimbursement and one non-billable, with the billable item later included in an invoice that is netted against the original expense account, or
01:00:50 <keret> (b) 1 billable item, with the billable item later included in an invoice that is netted against the original expense, and a discount applied to reflect the fact that only a share of the original cost is reimbursable.
01:01:00 <keret> Apologies for the volume above. In hindsight I probably should have sent a message to the mailing list.

11:50:16 <jralls> I guess I should be better about changing my nick when I'm AFK.
11:50:52 <warlord> jralls: no worries.
11:50:52 <warlord> thanks!
