[GNC] Recurring Monthly bills, How to Auto Post... TFN ?

[david whiting]

If you want to use Business -> Vendor Bill for multiple invoices you can
automate part of the process by importing a csv file, see
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/busnss-imp-bills-invoices.html
You would still have to post them, but that would be just two clicks per
invoice.
