I'll add that if you are posting bills in order to utilize the Due
Reminder feature (and track your account with a Vendor), you can still
do this on a cash-basis with a work around.
Let's take the example of vendor that has you on Net30 terms.
You receive a bill dated today, 9/11/20, due on 9/21/20 and you
reasonably expect to make payment in 30 days by 10/21/20, in full.
Enter the bill as normal.
Post the bill with the 10/21/20 date, which is your expected date of
payment, and 30 days from the due date. But put the Date Due as the
correct 9/21/20.
It will now show up in the Due Reminder and in the Payables Aging report
correctly.
When you make actual payment, if not on 10/21/20, unpost and repost with
that days date, prior to entering the payment in GnuCash, otherwise just
process the payment. (If you don't pay in full, you'll have more
gymnastics to do.)
The expense accounts will still get posted to, but with a future date
(10/21/20) to match the expected payment date. (which will eventually be
the actual payment date when it happens)
Those transactions in AP and in the various Expense accounts will show
up underneath a blue line, indicating they are in the future. (their
dates will reflect this too, but the blue line makes it easy to spot)
Note, there is a preference for 'Blank Transaction before Future
Transactions' so you can make new entries 'today' without having to
scroll past the future dated transactions.
Now, a simple Transaction Report for a date range ending in 'Today' will
show you all expenses (or whatever else) that are 'paid'.
You can now also run a report to show future expenses if desired.
Regards,
Adrien
