Q: Each time I save a new inventory record the system displays a message asking me to confirm some settings. How do I disable this message?

Q: I posted an AP prepayment transaction. When I generated the GL Transfer Report there were no entries for the transaction I recorded and the vendor balance remain unchanged. Why?
