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

The Business features were designed for accrual accounting, but you can use them on a cash basis if you don't post until you make payment. In that case, anything in your expense accounts would be paid. They won't show up otherwise. If you have bills posted that are not yet paid, you should

Thanks Adrian. You zeroed in on the issue. This particular entity is reporting on a cash basis... not accrual.And, sadly, in this case using Invoices that were posted and paid to vendors won't get the entire picture as some incidental purchases/expenses were paid without posting an invoice

If you think you *really* need to keep an older version, I'd install that to your own ~/Applications directory, then delete the rest save for the most recent 4.1. Otherwise, just grab another copy of that version's dmg and save it somewhere just in case. It is trivial to re-install if needed.

Ah, are you using the Business features and you want to only show those expenses (from invoices) that are paid? That's a tougher call. With accrual accounting, you book expenses when incurred, not necessarily when paid. That transaction is separate from the payment. Paying a vendor may or
