[GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[david whiting]

Ah, yes, you are correct. The accounts I can see are assets and the
other are A/R. The problem I now have is that I don't seem to be able
to change the account type from A/R to asset now that they have been
created as A/R. Looks I might have to create new accounts and migrate
each transaction across, which is going to take some time.

Thanks for your help.
