Hello!
We made an adjustment to year-end for accounts payable for a client's books in QB desktop. The vendor we used is a dummy vendor that we built to identify that the transaction was an adjustment made by us, if that makes sense. We noticed, though, that the adjustment we made put the transaction into the Pay Bills screen, which we don't want. Is there a better way to make adjustments to A/P or A/R where we don't want to hit a specific vendor (just clean up the account) and not have the A/P entry show up as a bill to be paid?
Thank you!
