    Charitable Tax Receipts for in kind donations

     Example: a museum receives a gift in kind of an artifact worth $100

     At the moment, we "invoice" $100 using a Revenue account 4xxx "Gifts in kind" and an Asset/Bank account 10xx "Cash clearing". We then have to do a G/L transaction from "Cash clearing" to 15xx "Mueum collections".

     I am looking for a way to do this in a single operation - debiting the 15xx "Museum collections" directly on the Invoice input form. Is there an easy way to make 15xx "Museum collections" appear in the second "Deposit to:" box after selecting "Paid by: Cash"? [or any other single step method?]

     I do not want to change the "Museums Collections" class from "Inventory" to "Bank" as it would create all sorts of other problems.

     Thanks - Stormy

    Stormy:

    Unfortunately, for your purposes, only accounts classed as Bank can be used in the Deposit To: box.
