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

[R Losey]

I also do what Andren does, but I do see your point.

However, I find that GnuCash remembers previous entries, and suggests them,
so once I have entered "Some Vendor", once I get to whatever is unique (So,
perhaps), it prompts for the entire name. This helps keep the vendor names
consistent.
