Payables Aging and Receivables Aging reports

[Stephen Grant Brown SP]

Hi All,
I put accounts under "acccounts receivable" because I could not identify 
where the money was recorded when I processed
the payment, ie cheques goes into separate asset accounts than cash.

How do I identify which account it went into?

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown
