Hi Adrien, Personally, I don't put the bill through AP, but have a monthly scheduled transaction to account for the actual payments (personal accounts only, doesn't crop up in my business accounts) I'm pretty sure that you can't tie a vendor bill to a scheduled transaction - it certainly was not possible in the past, it may have changed with the recent improvements to process payment. 0.02 Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
