Heidi, The invoice/bill dialogue automatically posts an invoice or bill to Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable respectively. The account you are required to select in the dialogue is the appropriate income account for an invoice or expense account for a bill and then fill in the rest of the detail. The dialogue then creates a transaction which debits the Accounts Payable account and credits the Expense account selected. The system is designed to only have a single accounts receivable and a single accounts payable which is why there is no selection.
Justa couple of points on the mailing list etiquette: Always address emails to the GnuCash mailing list to gnucash- u...@gnucash.org ; It is not kosher unless requested specifically to send emails to individuals who reply to the mailing list; For a new query/problem use a new subject heading rather than reply to either a digest heading or a topic thread on another heading. Your email client should have a Reply to List or Reply to All selection which normally does this but you may have to work out exactly what your client is doing. Ideally there should only be gnucash- u...@gnucash.org in the To field. Other helpful info to include in a help request is the GnuCash Version (Help->About ) and the Operating system and version for your computer. I don't know if that was in tour original request or not. cheers David On Mon, 2024-09-09 at 19:44 -0400, halatch1008 wrote: > David, > In the dialog box when it says "do u really want to post"?
