[GNC] Improvements to Vendor Posting Operations

[Geoff Jankowski]

Hi all,

Bearing in mind I may not have set my system up correctly, I am posting some observations on the vendor posting to see if I can amend how I currently process my invoices or if it requires some code tweaking.

I am using GC Business to track costs on the new house I am building.  I am not invoicing, only posting vendor bills and have set up about 40 vendors on the system.  Each one has an a/c payable in their name as a sub -account of an account called 15rsb accounts payable (15rsb being the project name).

POSTING
When I post the bill, I cannot see the account payable it is going into as the window is not wide enough to show all of:

15rsb accounts payable: supplier name

So every time I have to extend the window to the right.  First question, how do I set the default window size for this and any other  window I would like to amend please?

The drop down of suppliers is easy to see and is listed alphabetically (after the 15rsb accounts payable: prefix).

PAYMENT PROCESSING
When it comes to processing the payment, the same issue arises with the dialog box window size so I cannot see what (if anything) is auto-selected.  When I enter the vendor, even though I have posted previous bills to them and a link established, the a/c payable account for the vendor is not auto-selected.  Worse still, when I try to select the vendor, the list is not alphabetical but listed in the order they were generated making it difficult to locate the account I want.  Great as a memory exercise as I get older but a bit of a pain when I am in a hurry.

Also, If I am in the register for a particular sub account and try to assign a payment the window opens and selects the a/c payable account, but not the vendor.  When I enter the vendor, the ac payable account disappears and I have to select it again (from the non alphabetical listing).

NEW BILL ICON
In a standard register (say, bank account) the toolbar has an icon for a new invoice (which I do not use).  Is it possible to replace it with an icon for a New Bill or just add a further icon for the New Bill?  If so how?  I cannot find any way of adjusting the visible tool bars (and perhaps there is no way to do it for a very good reason I am unaware of).

I am not complaining.  I think the software is wonderful and am grateful for the time people have put into it.  These comments are shared to see if there is a solution for my situation and as feedback from a user.
