Link Annual Invoice to Monthly Repeating Journal for P&L Allocation
I'm pretty sure many businesses, like us, invoice some or all of their clients on an annual basis for services delivered across that year. In that case, we post the income from those invoices to an 'Income in Advance' account and then set up a monthly repeating journal to allocate 1/12th of that revenue from the 'Income in Advance' account to the correct P&L income account.
This is a slow and cumbersome process that is prone to human error. For instance, when a client leaves, we have to delete their annual repeating invoice and remember to delete their corresponding monthly repeating journal. However, if these two were linked together, it would be a much simpler process and less prone to human error.
