[GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill?

Unfortunately, you can't.

That field is populated from the Notes on payment transactions as you 
have discovered, but the Notes field from a bill do not auto-fill into 
the AP register Notes field on that transaction, and once it is there 
(by posting it) it is immutable and you can't edit it.

I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug, or if changing it would be an 
enhancement request.

Regards,
Adrien
