Like with any other customer receipt, enter a Receipt New for the amount you are writing off due to bartering. Use the payment method (Receipt Type) set up for "Barter."
 
 
Receipt Allocate the payment against the customer invoices that will part of the barter transactions.
In Receipt Deposit, use the ledger you set up for bartering as your Bank Account. Select only the invoices with the Barter payment method and process.
