Auto creation of Receivable and Payable broken in Desktop Edition

1

Sorry for posting this into -uncategorized-, but I’m not allowed to post into -bugs- category.

The “Accounts Payable” account does not automatically appear when I enable the “Suppliers” category, UNTIL i create at least one supplier into it. Setting up Accounts Payable

The “Accounts Receivable” account does not automatically appear when I enable the “Customers” category, UNTIL i create at least one customer into it. Setting up Accounts Receivable

The online manual says that these accounts appear automatically when the relevant category has been enabled, but in reality at least one entry must be created into the respective category to make the software automatically create the respective accounts.

Either the online manual is mistaken, or there is a bug in your software.

I do not find an actual problem here.

If a user enable Suppliers and Customers module, they do have the intention to use them. So they will have a minimum of one supplier or customer.

You’re right, but technically the manual is erroneous… :stuck_out_tongue:

So i guess its the manual that needs an edit. Anyway it is not misleading in any way. Users not having a supplier or customer can make use of the Income and Expense accounts.

That’s so moderators can replicate any problem first and determine whether it really does seem to be a bug. Most reported bugs are not, as this one was not. This approach helps ensure actual bugs get priority attention.

The two guides have been edited and will appear shortly on the web site. Thanks for your attention to detail.
