Bill vs payment

[Graham Stoddart-Stones]

Bela: 


Do you use the Business, Vendor, New Bill process to set up your new bill? 


Entering each line entry from the bill (there may be just one, or several) enables you to post the costs to an Expense account (or several). 


When you post the Bill, it puts the whole bill into an A/P account (you can choose which). 


Now you have both the expense accounts and the A/P that you are looking for. 


Hope this works for you

Subject: Bill vs payment 

Hi everybody, 

I am discovering more and more of the 'business section' which seams to 
offer some really useful tools. But I am still having a little trouble 
mastering them. 
At present I am figthing with a Bill & payment of it against where in 
the end the payments are posted to. Naturally I need a payment that has 
been done (through "process payment" in this case) to be posted to an 
asset account and on the other side an expenses account of my choice. 
What I do is the following: 

I post a Bill to an a/p account 
I pay this bill with 'process payment' from asset account 'cash' 

problem: the corresponding account for this transaction from asset 
account 'cash' is still the a/p account 

solution: I change the corresponding account to an expenses account the 
an expenses acccount of my choice 

new problem: this messes up my Bill vs payment system (the bill is 
market 'due' and not 'paid') 

how to get out of this ? 

thanks as always 
Bela
