Hello jg17,
It is possible that the account you enter under the Expenses tab is your bank account. Hence, it increases your bank balance when creating a bill. And it decreases upon paying the bill using the same bank.
Make sure you enter the correct affected accounts under the Expenses tab.
- Open the bill and go to the Expenses tab.
- Select the correct expense account in the ACCOUNT column.
- Enter the necessary details and click Save & Close.
