No worries. It’s been there for a few years at least. I started with GC on Ubuntu 12.04. I don’t recall it not being there, but my memory could be faulty.

Re: [GNC] Recording invoice payment issue
The windows are similarly designed and maybe even are the same base code, but a transaction find and invoice/bill find bring up different criteria that can be selected. The issue looks to be the same or very similar, however. Regards, Adrien > On Oct 28, 2019 w44d301, at 7:10 PM, Tommy Trussell > wrote: > > Same bug, different window?

I understood it to be what Rich was referring to. When I click ‘Process Payment’ from the *Invoices* Due Reminder to mark one of my customer’s invoices as paid, the ‘Print Check’ checkbox is indeed there at the bottom. And although I can’t speak to Rich’s exact issue, I know for a fact, I’m dealing with a customer invoice and not a vendor bill in this case. I also tried the Process Payment function from the Business > Customer menu, as well as doing so via the ‘Pay Invoice’ from the invoice window itself. All three bring up the same dialog and in each case, the ‘Print Check’ option is there, though it is inactive until an invoice is selected for payment. Personally, I don’t care that it is there. Its presence doesn’t mean I’m processing a vendor bill as opposed to a customer invoice. But I can see how it might confuse someone who thinks it doesn’t belong there.

[GNC] Recording invoice payment issue
I'm running gnucash-3.7 on Slackware-14.2/x86_64. Because my business is cash based I enter invoices only when the client pays, and I record the payment immediately after posting the invoice. Today, this workflow failed. When I tried paying the invoice the dialog box appeared to be for paying a vendor invoice, not a client payment; the print check checkbox caught my eye. So, I closed the dialog box and tried again by finding the new invoice: Business -> Customer -> Find invoice. Unfortunately, I could not find the invoice because the dialog box has no text entry widget (see attached screenshot.) If I've done something incorrectly please point me in the proper direction. I want to process this payment so it clears A/R and debits my business checking account.
