X's in Pay Bills for Subcontractors

Problem

They are getting X's in the Pay Bills dialog for Subcontractors.

Diagnosis

This is a very useful feature in Goldenseal accounting software! Those subcontractors have expired insurance, and their account is set up so they won't be paid when that happens. The X lets you know they can't be paid.

Solution

If you want to pay the subcontractor now, follow these steps:

  1. Close the Pay Bills window.
  2. Choose Subcontractors from the Accounts menu.
  3. Find the subcontractors that had the X's.
  4. Click the Insurance Setup button.
  5. Update the insurance expiration date, or change the handling from 'Don't Pay' to some other option.
