Link a bank transaction to an invoice or bill
Use the Link action so a bank payment marks the matching invoice or bill as paid instead of creating new income/expense.
When a customer pays an invoice or you settle a bill, the bank transaction shouldn't become new income or expense: it should settle the existing document. That's what the Link action does in the AI Bank Transactions Center.
Link opens a matcher showing open invoices (for money in) or bills (for money out) with amounts and dates. Pick the right one and AkountFly records the payment against it: the invoice/bill flips to paid and your books stay clean, with no double-counted revenue or expense.
