That was awesome! Worked exactly as expected. Thank you for your suggestion.
For anyone else trying this... It kept bothering me that while the balance on the account was just fine, the bill from the vendor continued to show as unpaid until I processed payment for that bill using the credit note. I ldo kept getting confused, wondering if making the payment would add a transaction to the asset/liability account that I was using to make payment to the vendor. I did not want the adjustment of a bill against a credit note to show up on a credit card / checking account - that would mess up my mind when trying to reconcile the account, even though the effect of the two transactions would nullify each other. When I used the Business > Vendor > Process Payment... menu option, although it has an asset/liability account selected in the right bottom panel, the transaction is only posted in the A/Payable with the Type = "L" and Action = "Lot Link". I did find it peculiar that when I clicked on the L, it disappeared and was replaced with an "I" [Invoice] or "P" [Payment], and regardless of how many times I click, it never goes back to an "L".
