Hanging APs?

[Luke <..hidden..>]

Hello

I am following the instructions here, including the clearing account and 
check writing bit.

http://www.mail-archive.com/..hidden../msg01451.html

In it, Mr. Roberts suggests writing a check via cash -> payment, without 
having an AP Transaction in the mix.

I did that, and everything worked out fine as far as the books are 
concerned, but as a result of my two checks without APs, the program has 
helpfully created two AP transactions for me.

They show up in cash -> payments for my vendor, and also show up in AP -> 
Reports -> Outstanding.

They have no line items, only a payment.

I'd really rather not have these around looking unfinished as they do for 
the future historians of my books; and in any event they and their future 
incarnations are going to be cluttering up my AP screens.

What can I do about this?

Thanks

Luke
