Unearned Income

[veribanc]

How do we post and track unearned income received for our
subscriptions? Currently we create an invoice when a new
subscription cycle starts and the "Accounts" field is linked to
our Accounts Receivable. The "Items List" field
(all of our subscription products) is linked to a "General
Sales" account. This all happens prior to receiving any
money.

How do we track the unearned income portion of our
subscriptions:
1. When we first generate our invoice (prior to receiving
any money)
2. When we receive full payment, and
3. When we fullfill each issue (4 issues to a subscription)
The first issue -
The second issue -
The third issue -
The fourth and final issue -

Thank you for any enlightenment offered.
