For each Vendor Payment we must first create a Bill and then Pay that bill so that it remains associated with the vendor. That's a lot of clicking and typing.
Fran3, Er, ... no. Before you create any bill (duck or no duck) enter all your vendor data: name, address, whatever. Do this for all your vendors. Also do it for any customer/client who you bill for revenue. Once you have those set up you can enter a new bill or invoice, post them, then pay the bill. Equivalent work flow for customers/clients. Look at the Business -> Customer and -> Vendor menus.
In the chart of accounts under say... Expenses > Office Supplies we create sub accounts for each Office supply vendor...
Since you want to track each vendor, then yes. E.g., under Expenses:Office Supplies:Staples or Expenses:Office Supplies:Office Depot. You'd do the same thing for insurnace; e.g., Insurance:Employee Health, Insurance:Auto, etc. Under Business -> Vendor -> New Vendor enter all your office suppliers. When you receive a bill from each, enter it via Business -> Vendor -> new bill. Then post it. It goes to Accounts Payable. When you want to pay the bill go to Business -> Vendor -> Process payment.
Than from the check register just assign that payment to that account...
When you pay the bill Also, download and use the gnucash-help and gnucash-guide docs.
