Re: [GNC] How to remove or hide certain bills from appearing in the Due Bills Reminder?
You should be able to use other AP accounts, but make sure they are of generic type Liability, not the special type 'Accounts Payable'. There can be only one account with that special type. (Same for AR) It can even be a child of AP/AR. Glad you found a usable work around. Regards, Adrien On 7/21/20 8:57 AM, Fran_3 via gnucash-user wrote: Thanks Adrien. As always very helpful!

Re: [GNC] How to remove or hide certain bills from appearing in the Due Bills Reminder?
1. If you really don't want to see it with the original due date - yes. There is no way I'm aware of to 'bump' or hide an invoice from that dialog. Note, the columns are all click-to-sort. It is sorted by date by default with the oldest date first. (not sure if that helps) I can see a use case for an invoice that might need to be recognized partially in different periods. In such a case, some sort of accrual account could be employed to handle the recording of the info until it should be recognized, but you'd have to manage what is still pending on your own. 2. see: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_can_I_delete_an_Invoice.2C_Customer.2C_Vendor.2C_or_Employee.3F Regards, Adrien On 7/20/20 6:50 PM, Fran_3 via gnucash-user wrote: 1 - So to force a posted bill down the list we will have to un-post it, change the due date, and then re-post it... right? 2 - And, on a posted bill... what is the "Active" Check box?
