1) How is it possible for the accounts payable open payables balance be a different amount from the G/L balance? I have not deleted any batches, as soon as they are retrieved, they are posted.

2) My bank account shows a cheque from A/P but the expense is not showing up in the income statement. I have reviewed my entry, and it looks fine. I have also verified the expense is not keyed to the wrong account.

I think these two items are linked somehow.
