 The best thing to do is enter each outstanding invoice intact.  It gets you some experience with setting up items, and provides much better tracking.

If I enter as a invoice won't that record as 2012 sales? I want it to show as A/R's not a new sale on my Financials.

Latest post

 if you enter an invoice dated 2011 it will report in income in 2011 on accrual basis, and in income on date of receipt on cash basis.
