It doesn’t.  I am using version 4.12. Tonight I was using Windows, but I
think I noticed the same behaviour before under Linux.

It reports an unpaid bill.

I had actually gone to bed, but chose to get up and try what you said
😂😂😂 When I went to the bank account register, I did see edit payment.
Selecting it and clicking OK seems to have done the trick. I have not
checked things carefully, since it’s late here, but my initial thoughts are
it looks okay. It is now showing as PAID, and both Accounts Payable and
Accounts Receivable are showing balances of zero. The courier cost is now
in postage, and I assume has gone from payroll.

I has already started from a backup, so the extra payment was not there .

Although I have not checked carefully, my initial thoughts are that your
instructions sorted it out. The Edir Payment was shown in the bank
register. Nothing looks out of place.

It seems that the majority of people on the list  don’t use the business
features, which tend to make things more complicated. So some well-meaning
suggestions do not work.

But I do like to bring up a list of vendors, and see a link to each
invoice. I can see exactly how much I have paid them.
