# Opens a GnuCash book file and adds an invoice to it for a particular
# customer (by GUID) with a specific ID and value 
#
# The account tree and tax tables are assumed to be the same as the ones
# created in simple_business_create.py, but you can edit that to adapt
# this to become an invoice imported for your own books
#
# Syntax:
# gnucash-env python simple_invoice_insert.py \

#
# argv[1] should be the path to an existing gnucash file/database
# for a file, simply pass the pathname, for a database you can use
# these forms:
# mysql://user:password@host/dbname
# postgres://user:password@host[:port]/dbname (the port is optional)
