The Header is just what it says: a header, NOT an account. So e.g. as a Header above 25 different bank accounts in the UK, you could use the header " UK bankaccounts" and then use another header for 15 differet USA bankaccounts and so on. This is good for the human readable form of a GL-scheme. But not at all needed for the accounting package to function properly.
Paul, You appear to confuse the two issues I posted on separate threads. The header shows as the default A/P header when I select Cash -> Payments. Each time I need to change the combo box selection to Accounts Payable from Current Liabilities. My question was how to change the default selection of that widget to Accounts Payable. The related question is why a header is displayed in that widget.
Knowing that headers also tend to mess up reports (correction: the reports template code gets more difficult and might show surprising results when adding the header ledger in the result of additions or something like that)) it might be a good idea to get rid of headers alltogether. If eeded make an extra version of the GL-scheme with # commented out# header lines.
The reporting issue is that the current balance of my checking account is not displayed as the current balance in the Trial Balance report. Looking closely at the two I see that it's the Debit column in the Trial Balance report that has an additional $18,000 in it (and I wish that was in my actual checking account!). Because the sum of debits in the checking account register are correct, I ask where the Trial Balance report could have minted the additional money. It is obviously not the sum of the checking account debit column.
