Is it possible to specify a Vendor in the Name field of the GL impact for a bill transaction for an item entered in the item details?
The attached image shows “6000 Expenses,” but we sometimes create advance payment entries in bill transactions.
An example journal entry is as follows:

Debit: Advances Paid $600 / Credit: Accounts Payable $600

In this case, we need to verify which vendor this advance payment is owed to and for how much. However, when creating a bill transaction, the Name field does not link to the Vendor. The Accounts Payable account does have the Vendor linked in its Name field.

Howdy, Stranger!
