[GNC] What is a 'pre-paymnet' and how do I remove it?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Right-click the transaction in your checking register and choose “Edit Payment” or “Assign as Payment” (depending on if it was already assigned at one time or not)

Then select both the payment and the invoice it should apply to and save the result.

Pre-payments happen when you process a payment and don’t assign it to an invoice. They can also happen when you unpost an invoice that is already paid and GnuCash doesn’t manage to reapply the payment when you repost the invoice. (not usual, but it does happen)


Regards,
Adrien
