Topic: Simple Payments End Up As Supplier Credits

Ok so we have suppliers that we purchase items from and when I do a Direct Invoice under Suppliers and then go to Payments to Suppliers and pay it that seems to work.
But fordoing quick transactions like simply paying the electric bill, if I go to Banking and General Ledger and click on Payments and choose the supplier and select the Utilities account it posts and the expense shows up in Utilities HOWEVER then if I go to the supplier it has generated a credit!
I thought the purpose for being able to enter a payment this way under Banking and General Ledger was to be able to do a one step transaction and not need to go enter an invoice and then enter a payment for regular utility bills and such.

Am I doing something wrong, or does this just not work this way?

Re: Simple Payments End Up As Supplier Credits

Which version of FA are you using? Which supplier did it generate a credit for? The utilities account should not be a supplier if you do not wish to track inventory and payments. It should be a general expense account. Check your Chart of Accounts.
