@@ -442,49 +442,49 @@ The reason the `NEVER CHARGED` payee text was added was to handle the
 
situation where the books included this charge, but the books were already
 
closed for the financial period (e.g., the books had already been audited).
 
Changing the payee was a method for documenting the expense.  You might use
 
it like this:
 

	
 
    2011/05/28 My Bad Billing Hosting - NEVER CHARGED
 
        Liabilities:Credit Card:Visa            $-100.00
 
        Expenses:Conservancy:Hosting             $100.00
 

	
 
    2012/01/01 My Bad Billing Hosting - REVERSAL - NEVER CHARGED
 
        Liabilities:Credit Card:Visa             $100.00
 
        Expenses:Conservancy:Hosting            $-100.00
 

	
 
However, going forward, you'd likely never enter anything the ledger
 
**until** you had real proof via an Invoice, Receipt or Statement that showed
 
the Expense did/should occur.  This use of `NEVER CHARGED` in the payee is
 
thus deprecated.
 

	
 
#### Income Account Documentation
 

	
 
Each `Income:` account must have the following tags:
 

	
 
* One of: [`Invoice:`](#invoice-tag),
 
  [`PurchaseOrder:`](#purchase-order-tag),
 
  [`Statement:`](#statement-tag) or
 
  [`Statement:`](#statement-tag), or
 
  [`Contract`](#contract-tag).  Exceptions to this requirement are as follows:
 
     + the income generated from the transaction is less than $800, or
 
     + the `IncomeType` is `RBI` and the income is for a defined, public
 
       program (such as conference registration)
 

	
 
* An [`Entity:`](#entity-tag) tag, *iff.* the Income for the transaction is
 
  for more than $800.
 

	
 
* An [`IncomeType:`](#incometype-tag) tag.
 

	
 
* A [`Program:`](#program-tag) tag.
 

	
 
Reports For Various Situations

When data is well formed as specified herein, there are various quick reports
 
that can be used to verify certain conditions or issues with accounting.
 
Here are a few examples:
