This past month we did a building repair and the landlord told us to just delete the expense from our rent payment since it was something that he technically should have covered. How do I post the rent so that our full rent amount shows as the rental expense but the check is written for a different amount. I realize this is more an accounting question than a Powerchurch question but I have no where else to turn. Thanks!

Enter the invoice in Maintain Open Invoices as usual for the invoice amount due. Then make the following entries:
credit cash account
debit rent expense account for full rent amount
credit rent expense account for the building repair (enter a brief description in the "Line Description" so you'll have an explanation for the credit)
