Yes, we can post a credit purchase accounts payable sub-account using a Journal Entry feature, Duncan.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Choose + New. Then, select a Journal entry.
  2. On the first line, select an account or sub-account from the Account field. Enter the amount in the correct column (Debit).
  3. Choose the account you're transferring money to or from in the next line. Enter the same amount in the opposite (Credit) column.
  4. Enter a supplier name.
  5. Select Save and close.

 

However, if you're using the Supplier Credit feature to post directly to a sub-account of accounts payable, note that it cannot be assigned to it. Since this only posts to the main accounts payable category.
