Invoice Payments: Transfers to Account vs making the transaction a Category

tryintoo

I have used Invoicing in the past. mostly for the nice design. I then print the invoice, scan into a PDF, then email it. After I receive payment, I delete the Invoice, then I add the sale to my checking and categorize it as a "Business Sales". The reason I do this, When I keep the invoice and accept payment in quicken, then look at reporting, (Banking/Summary) it only shows up in the Transfer Area. I am not able to show the payment of an invoice as a Category. I would prefer to see the Payment of in invoice as a category. In my case a Business Sale, so that it shows up as an income, rather than a Transfer. Obviously, I can add the two and know it's an income, but I would prefer it show up on the reporting without the manual intervention and telling the CPA this is how I got the correction to the report.

Maybe I've got something set up incorrectly? If not, I would prefer the Payment show up and stay in the Invoice Account and be able to categorize it as a Business Sale. The balance can stay in the Invoice Account. I can manually transfer the balance to another account. At his point, all my actual invoice will remain viewable. When I delete the invoices in Quicken, obviously the only way I will see an invoice is to look for the PDF on my PC, that I scanned in earlier. The history not as easy to view, one at a time searching PDF's

By the way, the last time I tried emailing invoices, there is no way to view it in a "Sent Folder", or any way knowing it actually sent. No record of that. A different issue though.
