invoice example

[Benoit Chesneau]

Hi all,

Just discovered ledger, and it seems to be the software I was looking
for. Anyone have an exemple of an invoice though ? Would like to be
sure.

Actually I'm thinking to do

Invoice :

Asset:Client:1 €119.9
Produt:Sell €100
Taxes:Collected €19.9

Paiement :

Asset:Bank €119.9
Asset:Client:1 €-119.9

(I follow french system) . Is this the right way to do it ?

Here's an example of what I do:

For assets:
CompanyName:Assets:Checking
CompanyName:Assets:AccountsReceivable:ClientName

For liabilities:
CompanyName:Liabilities:Loan
CompanyName:Liabilities:Utilities

For Clients:
Clients:ClientName:Equity
Clients:ClientName:Invoice:Labor
Clients:ClientName:Invoice:Materials
Clients:ClientName:Payments:PaymentMethod

With the above setup, I can easily get a balance for each customer,
and see my total assets/liabilities fairly easily.

Before you ask, there is no good way in Ledger to track inventory -
while it can do commodity pricing, if you were to purchase an
identical item at different prices (for example, if you bought 5 items
for $10/each, then 20 for $9/each) there's no way to differentiate
between the items. It's really intended for securities.

Does this help?
