I have recently upgraded from an OLD version so things don't quite look familiar.  I need to post payments that were allocated to a/p at year end but the accounts payable account is an account that I cannot post to.  I know that in the past I have been able to change this, post the items and then change it back, but I just can't seem to find the way to do that with this version of Simply.  Any body have any suggestions?

Hi there: Anything that goes into the Accounts payable account must be entered through the Vendors' accounts in the Accounts Payable module. Are you just trying to post a year end adjusting journal entry? Will it be reversed once you roll forward to the new year? Rita Deering

I was entering these items through the a/p module but it appears that the bank is credited and the expense account ie 5200 is debited but there is no decrease in the a/p account.  In previous years (with the old version), I did not use the a/p module so perhaps it is not set up correctly. 

Hi again: The A/P module should be set up correctly at the start. Are you trying to set amounts up in the historical opening balances or are you making entries in the Purchases or Payments windows? In either one the A/P account should be either the debit or the credit, depending on what you are doing. The Accounts Payable account should be automatically linked without you having to go in and link it I'm pretty sure. You said in the first post that you weren't able to post directly to the A/P account, so that means that it is linked. I'm just not sure how you are managing to get the Bank being credited and an expense account being debited. This sounds like you are recording a Payment on an account that isn't actually set up yet.
