No worries. And I understand the explanation. Thanks.

Adrien,

I think that's mostly a justification of the internals, wherein a particular entity can 
be one of Customer, Employee, or Vendor and each of those types is closely coupled to the 
corresponding Invoice, Voucher, or Bill respectively.  The workaround is straightforward: 
If the same entity is both a customer and a vendor then create an entry for each role. If 
you want to "wash out" payables and receivables you can make an asset account 
for the other part of the transactions.
