[GNC] Badly formed URL unknown-type

[Geert Janssens]

You picture and extra details are very helpful.

I can see now this is another bug still.

It appears you have managed to create an outstanding balance somehow that's 
not related to any vendor. This is a situation the code wasn't designed for 
and hence the link error.

At this point I'm not sure how that would happen.
Can you try to figure out where that -£2.54 comes from exactly in your A/P 
account and make a screenshot of that transaction ? It may not be obvious in 
the A/P account. It may also be you'd have to open the Lot viewer on that 
account and inspect the lots.

It's important we figure out how this situation was created to either adjust 
to code to prevent it or to update the reports to be able to handle it.

Regards,

Geert
