In my experience, that's usually a sign that the A/P account is not
actually of "type" A/P.
Try clicking "edit account" and check the "account type" section.  If
it's not of type "A/Payable" then you'll need to create a new account and
select the correct type (for some reason it seems impossible to change
an existing account to be of A/P type, at least here it seems to be
restricted as a valid option only during account creation).

Happy new year to you too! :)
