[GNC] Tracking UnPaid Bills

[David Cousens]

You can always make the tracking of bills as fine scale as you need by
creating a specific sub account strucure to the liability account
e.g
Liability-Utilities- Electricity
                   -Water
                   -Internet
         -Loans    -House 
                   -Car
   etc.

Then the liability subaccount with a non-zero balance contains unpaid
bills (or overpaid) depending on whether it is a credit balance or
debit balance.

The advantage of the business features with invoices and bills is that
the payments are linked specifically to the bill or invoice they relate
to so it is possible to search for unpaid invoices.  

You could always use tags in the memo, description fields to create
this just using ordinary Liability accounts.
