Yes Beth, It is because the account is paid in full and that the aging
totals at the bottom are what appear on startup.  I am not sure if those
accounts were paid out of order, but I do pay accounts out of order for
convenient cash flow.  I think I will stop doing that and just pay in
invoice amounts and let the supplier figure out where to apply the
credit.  I just paid another account out of order yesterday, Duh!

So, go to checking register, make notes on when and how much, on a piece
of paper.  Delete all payments and save.  The pull up AP report and pay
bills without regard to matching the payment and then all should be
fine.  Thanks also to Maf.

Anyone got any tricks for settling Credits? (see other thread)
