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

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
