Eric, ALWAYS adjust the Description column last as from memory it's setup to automatically adjust to fill the rest of the column space available, Cheers David H.

Eric, Check out https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_txns.html#txns-register-oview, especially the notes in 2.9.2.3 Setting Column Widths. Your video shows successful resizing the Action column; following Derek's advice to double-click the column header to resize Bill would set that column, as well as the Balance column. Best, David T.

Re: [GNC] How to use Vendors & Accts Payable, but pay via Credit card?
Why don't you make the column wider? Your description column is HUGE. Try double-clicking on the "Bil" header to make it wider -- or grab the right side and drag to the right --- and then reduce the description column. I believe that is the "Billable?" column, which says that the line-item is billable back to a customer. -derek On Tue, December 20, 2022 9:08 am, Eric Chapman wrote: > If I can get a screenshot to go through to the GnuCash e-mail list, > attached is what I was talking about (when "Edit Bill" is chosen). > > Thanks, > > Eric > > On 12/19/22 22:23, Adrien Monteleone wrote: >> Not sure what you mean, I've attached a screenshot of my Edit Bill >> window. >> >> Is this what you are seeing? >> >> Regards, >> Adrien >> >> On 12/19/22 9:17 PM, Eric Chapman wrote: >>> Adrien, >>> >>> I appreciate your help.

Re: [GNC] How to use Vendors & Accts Payable, but pay via Credit card?
Just to be clear, you Process Payment separately from posting. (there is an option to Pay on posting, but you still enter it separately) It is in the Process Payment dialog that you choose the Transfer Account as Credit Card, *not* when you post - that should be to AP. You can certainly have just one line on the invoice. Be sure to hit ENTER to commit the line, just like in a register. This should all be covered in the Help document though there may be more detail in the Tutorial & Concepts Guide. Read, test, try things. Continue to ask if you get stuck or break something. (you probably won't break anything, but if so, we can likely help you fix it short of nuking the file and starting over.)

And when I selected Business > Vendor > Process Payment, I was able to assign that Accounts Payable account as the "Post to" account. However, when I try to enter the "New Bill", I cannot figure out how to make it get recorded with just one line (one expense is listed for the entire invoice and it's debited to an expense account). I can't figure out if I can pay via Credit Card, or if the use of "Vendors" precludes the use of credit card payments. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] How to use Vendors & Accts Payable, but pay via Credit card?
I forgot to mention, there is an option when posting Bills to 'consolidate splits'. If you do so, the AP entries will be rather simple. The only way to see line-item detail in that case, would be to view the invoice. This may be fine for your use case. If however, you want to easily do 'find' operations on line-item contents, then you want to 'uncheck' that consolidate option. (you can also set a global default so you don't have to uncheck it each time) This will show a split in the AP register for each line-item, which is then searchable, and you can filter some reports on that text as well.
