[GNC] How to use Vendors & Accts Payable, but pay via Credit card?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I forgot to mention, there is an option when posting Bills to 
'consolidate splits'.

If you do so, the AP entries will be rather simple. The only way to see 
line-item detail in that case, would be to view the invoice. This may be 
fine for your use case.

If however, you want to easily do 'find' operations on line-item 
contents, then you want to 'uncheck' that consolidate option. (you can 
also set a global default so you don't have to uncheck it each time) 
This will show a split in the AP register for each line-item, which is 
then searchable, and you can filter some reports on that text as well.

Regards,
Adrien
