Vendor Withholding Payments

Problem

After using the Pay Bills command for a Vendor Withholdings credit, the same items still show up in Pay Bills.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

In the itemized report in the Pay Bills window, turn off the check box for the items that were previously paid.

Solution

This problem is fixed in Goldenseal accounting software version 4.1.

To clear out the items that shouldn't be included, follow these steps:

  1. Use the Pay Bills command to generate a payment for the taxes that were previously paid.
  2. Choose Other Costs from the Costs menu.
  3. Locate the tax invoice created in step 1.
  4. Click the New button.
  5. Enter a transaction to the same tax agency, for the same amount as the invoice from step 1.
  6. Click on the Applies To popup field, and enter Credit. The transaction will 'cancel out' the incorrect one.
