Not all expenses are paid for immediately. There are expenses which are paid after a period of time, fixed asset purchases are made in parts over a year, which needs tracking.
Currently payments are made over the year and recorded as advance payments. But you cant select multiple payments and match it with an expense bill. which has been paid for by multiple accounts. Expenses should have a payment pending status just like the bills.

As of now I record payments as advance and the expense says paid through prepaid expenses.
But net effect I have an advance under my vendor's name and prepaid expenses has a balance. Journals can't take payables.
