[GNC] Vendor posting

[David Cousens]

Heidi,

The invoice/bill dialogue automatically posts an invoice or bill to
Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable respectively. The account you
are required to select in the dialogue is the appropriate income
account for an invoice  or expense account for a bill  and then fill in
the rest of the detail. The dialogue then creates a transaction which
debits the Accounts Payable account and credits the Expense account
selected.  The system is designed to only have a single accounts
receivable and a single accounts payable which is why there is no
selection.

Justa couple of points on the mailing list etiquette: 
Always address emails to the GnuCash mailing list to gnucash-
user at gnucash.org ;
It is not kosher unless requested specifically to send emails to
individuals who reply to the mailing list;
For a new query/problem use a new subject heading rather than reply to
either a digest heading or a  topic thread on another heading.
Your email client should have a Reply to List  or Reply to All
selection which normally does this but you may have to work out exactly
what your client is doing.  Ideally there should only be gnucash-
user at gnucash.org in the To field.

Other helpful info to include in a help request is the GnuCash Version
(Help->About ) and the Operating system and version for your computer.
I don't know if that was in tour original request or not.

cheers

David
