Ignore my previous email where I said I attached screenshots, but did not
write anything useful or attach anything useful.
The attachments show the problem with vendor PORKBUN.COM. When I go to Open
Business->Vendor->Process Payment, then type in a few letters like "por"
then the auto-completion fills in Porkbun.com. But nothing is shown as
needing paying. When I go to the invoice, it is shown as $6.90 paid. My
bank statement shows £5.92, which I have reconciled. So what is the cause
of the $0.98 shown as outstanding?
One link between them, *which I doubt is a coincidence*, is that 5.92 +
0.98 = 6.90. But they are different currencies. This equation makes no sense
5.92 (GBP) + 0.98 (USD) = 6.90 (USD)
This $0.98 which is shown as owing, is the numerical value in difference
between the amount paid in GBP and the amount paid in USD.
