Sorry, everywhere in my message where I previously stated 
"accounts-receivable", I meant "accounts-payable".

I imported "bills" (QuickBooks terminology) transactions (see my message 
on 2012-02-18 as to how I did it, if you are interested) into a GnuCash 
account and marked it as an A/P-type account.  Those transactions in 
GnuCash look EXACTLY like (eg, the "type" field contains "?") the ones 
that are created when I reconcile a credit card ("CC) account in 
GnuCash, and then use the resultant screen that posts the reconciled 
amount to that "A/P" account.  This is the same procedure that I used in 
QuickBooks.

Am I doing something wrong?  Should I not be posting CC reconciliations 
to an A/P account?

OK, that's reasonable.  For CC reconciliations, do I have to go back and 
re-reconcile the CC account?
