Pay Bills Vendors

Problem

It can be confusing if using the Pay Bills command to pay a vendor, when they don't have any invoices that are currently due.

The vendor will have a checkmark in the main window, but none of the invoices will be marked to be paid, and no payment will be created for them.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

To pay the vendor, do the following:

  1. Double-click on the vendor.
  2. Put a check mark next to each invoice you'd like to pay now.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Click the Create Checks button to pay them.

Solution

Starting with Goldenseal accounting software version 4.55, the vendor will not be checked to be paid, in the main window. You'll still need to follow the steps listed above, but at least it will be more obvious that you have to do something, to pay them!
