Unpaid Items - How do I change it to paid and zero the open balance?
When I write a check to a vendor such as a store, it shows as unpaid (there is no bill). How do I change it to paid and zero the open balance?

The solution
You can't change a check to a Bill Payment. You must use the Bill Payments screen to Pay the bills.
Now you'll have to write a journal entry for each account. Debit A/P & credit the account you posted in the check (not the checking account). Then use the Pay Bills screen to apply the journal entry to the bill.
Talk to your accountant about this before you do it.
Hope this helps. If so please mark solved, if not please ask more questions. Thanks!
