Allow negative amounts on A/R line item GL detail

We have invoices that we send out that include charges to and/or from clients, as part of the total. It would be helpful if we could enter negative amounts (like we have the capability of doing in the A/P system), instead of going through the Miscellaneous Entries screen (which can be convoluted and confusing).
I have been asking about this option in the A/R module ever since we first began using FE (about 5 years ago) and it was added to the A/P module, but never to the A/R module.

Thank you.

    There are times where I have to enter credit card payments but the system we use the credit card fee is on us and not the customer so I need to be able to enter a negative number for the product and billing code. So say for example if the amount owed is $100 and they make a payment using a card we are charged then a fee of maybe $9.67 which now makes their payment $90.33. In order to have the account that they owed the $100 reflect that I must be able to enter the $100.00 plus the -$9.67 if that makes sense.

    And also it would be really helpful to be able to have negative deposits in AR as well just like Cash Receipts in NXT. If ya'll could literally mirror AR the same way CR works it would be a great help, especially with Deposits as they do not allow negative deposits and don't show refunds on deposit reports in AR this causes the deposit to not reflect the same total as the batch we are depositing that has refunds in it. If you wanted to contact me by email I could explain it much better and in more detail mary@scwa.org

    Hi, I'm working on the new A/R for FE, can both of you give me examples of how you use a negative entry on an invoice

    I agree whole heartedly with this. We have invoices we need to be able to enter negative charges for in order to have the correct balance show.
