Hello Greg,
I encountered this exact same problem.
The way bills are entered just does not scale for someone doing more
than home entry, or doing it because they love it. 50 mouse clicks to
record buying a Mars bar just isn't viable if you have more than a Mars
bar a week.
I have a small program that takes downloaded transactions from the bank,
munges the descriptions so the qif importer recognises the accounts and
also adds gst. Saves hours and hours a month.

So Greg, you don't post any Bills to Accounts Payable? Electric & Utilityered
bills. Rent or whatever?
You just post the payments... is that what you are saying?
Thanks

I don't use this process at all. Everything my business buys how on a

Posting Bills allows you to keep track of AP and provides data to the
Bills Due Reminder...
However some routine expenses may just get paid without going through the
steps of creating and posting and paying a bill.
For a small venture posting bills can require a lot of keyboard time...
even duplicating a bill requires a number of steps, data entry, and
clicks
and can eat up time if you have a bunch of them to do...
Example, we have a couple of vendor from which we get 50+ to 100+ charges
per year. They each are on auto pay and are mostly for the same amount
per
charge... but each charge is for a different thing... so descriptions,
due
dates, etc are different for each item.
(You can think of these as if they were an annual listing or service
fee... one for each item.)
I got reminded of this recently when we made an effort to enter/create
Bills for the 100+ charges that were going to occur for Vendor-A over the
next 12 months... again, the big corporate vendor does not supply a
monthly
Bill listing all charges for that month... the item fee comes up and gets
auto paid... so 100+ transactions per year for that one vendor.
It is a lot less work to just enter each payment into the system as
opposed to first creating a bill then posting a bill and then paying the
bill.
How do you all choose which things to create Bills for and which things
just Pay?
Thanks.
