[GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

Either you use the business features for a transaction or you don't.

You can certainly enter a *regular* transaction for any entity, 
including vendors you normally raise a bill for first, but as noted, 
those regular transactions won't show up in a Vendor Report.

But you can certainly pay such entities immediately and still get a 
report on that activity.

Personally, I use the Description field for *all* of my transactions as 
a Payor/Payee line. Actual descriptive info I put in the Notes and/or 
Memo fields.

In that case, I can simply run a Transaction Report filtered on the name 
of the Payor/Payee and see the desired activity.

Regards,
Adrien
