The purpose of the Business Features is for accruals in order to adhere to the "Matching Principle" of accounting. If you go to the local convenience store every afternoon and buy a candy bar, you'd just record that as a regular transaction. (and benefit from using Duplicate Transaction or

Hello Greg, I encountered this exact same problem. The way bills are entered just does not scale for someone doing more than home entry, or doing it because they love it. 50 mouse clicks to record buying a Mars bar just isn't viable if you have more than a Mars bar a week. I have a small

So Greg, you don't post any Bills to Accounts Payable? Electric & Utility bills. Rent or whatever? You just post the payments... is that what you are saying? Thanks On Friday, October 9, 2020, 12:15:25 PM EDT, Greg Feneis wrote: I don't use this process at all. Everything my business

Posting Bills allows you to keep track of AP and provides data to the Bills Due Reminder... However some routine expenses may just get paid without going through the steps of creating and posting and paying a bill. For a small venture posting bills can require a lot of keyboard time... even
