Nice!! I use duplicate to create my known transactions for the year..... that's what I'm doing now.... pay the mortgage every month, the water, internet, etc.
Idk how to use the AP/AR services in GnuCash..... and I don't even know what they are actually called in GnuCash 🤣🤣🤣 But I do have my current checking, and then everything for the rest of the year is in another account called Looking Forward...... like: Pay attention, Property Taxes are Due!!! But for the Autocomplete, I've been using Esc in the past few days.
