I am not so sure, if all the properties of an invoice need to make the 
transfer from the issuing application to the finance application. An invoice 
number certainly is a good attribute (property) to think about because it will 
most likely show up on the transaction of the incoming payment. The businesses 
tax number - which must be shown on the invoice in some countries - does not 
be part of that record because we don't need it in the financial application. 
A due date is some other valuable property.

As far I understand this ER, Skrooge does not support multi-currency. But I 
might be mistaken, but I don't see how one could transfer money from an 
account in one currency to another one held in another currency.  Certainly 
Guillaume can comment on this.
