[GNC] Random Payment To: field and For: field -- without creating invoice?

[Fran_3]

 Well I'll be darn'd... I can't beleive I am just discovering the view "Double Line" option !

That is the answer I needed Adrien. Thank you!

 Personally, I consider “Description” to always be “Payee” no matter the transaction.

“For” would be more appropriate for the “Memo” line on the relevant split.

If you have more than one debit split, use the “Notes” field. You’ll need to turn on View > Double Line to be able to see it. With that, if you really want to use "Description" for ‘For’ then you can use “Notes” for ‘Payee’

Regards,
Adrien
