Description Christopher Lam 2017-09-05 03:17:22 EDT
The business-related accounts are rather unsatisfactory. They are cluttered, and offer no easy jump to the relevant UI for editing/posting them.

Will it be difficult to add a UI to the right-click menu to link to the relevant Invoice / Voucher / Bill Editor?

For now the only UI to open the relevant Invoice/Bill/Voucher is via the cumbersome Find Invoice/Bill/Voucher window, or from a business report.

Don't need to. Can run Report > Account Report (single transaction) -> Owner-Report

show associated invoices in this txn. select from list.

one last patch, can be applied to 4.x.

pros: shows all invoices associated with txn.

cons: if txns has both invoice-payment splits (have lots) and overpayment (has no lot), and the APAR overpayment split is selected, it'll prompt user to select from the invoices.

By "4.x" I suppose you mean 4.1.

Why is it a "con" that it asks the user to pick which invoice to jump to when there's more than one? 

And why are you posting patches on a closed bug instead of making it a PR?
