Scheduled Vendor Bills vs Schedule Transactions

[Fran_3]

 The Vendor Report works great so long as we manually post each vendor bill and then use the Business Features to Process Payment.

 I was looking for a way to automate some of that using Scheculed Transactions... ditto for Invoices to our Customers who are invoiced on the first of every month for the same amount each month.
But automatic transactions will not associate a customer or a vendor with the transaction... just the appropriate accounts in the chart of accounts
 like for a vendor...
Credit AP, Debit ExpensesDebit AP, Credit Checking
or for a customer...
Debit AP, Credit SalesCredit AP, Debit Checking
No worries, We can use the "duplicate" bill or invoice feature to do that and maybe use the Scheduled Transactions only as a reminder.
Thanks,
Fran3

 Does the Vendor Report not give you the info you’re looking for without involving scheduled transactions? That report shows a full history of bills and payments for a particular vendor over whatever time period you run the report for. (that is, bills and payments run through the business features or properly imported)
