[GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[Adrien Monteleone]

When I’ve had issues in the past with accounts not showing up in the Business Features like this, it was due to their type not being correct.

They should all be of type Asset, *not* type Accounts Receivable. (but you can certainly make them children of A/R or better yet, create an ‘Other A/R’ account and make them children of that. The main A/R account is special)

Check the type on the ones that are showing up and a few that aren’t. This is likely the issue.

Regards,
Adrien
