Here's the situation. I needed to pay the State Board of Engineers $30 in the form of a money order, not a check. So I went to the post office and paid the $30.00 + $1.25 for the money order fee. Then I mailed the $30.00 money order to the state. So net, I am less $31.25. Makes sense so far. How to properly do this in Peachtree while keeping a trail of records? Option 1.) I thought to just enter the State Board $30.00 and Post Office $1.25 as separate purchase orders (-A and -B) but then I lose the instance of receiving the $30.00 back from the post office. Option 2.) Enter the Post Office in as a customer, receive the $30.00 as a "sale" and then use it to pay the State. That way I don't lose the trail of the money movements. But if I do this, how should I properly inventory the money order into a holding account? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
