General Journals - why don't I have the option to credit an customer?

Hi All

Ok, lets start at the beginning. I purchased goods for office maintenance and grv'd it to my supplier using 4350/000. My boss has a house on premises and the goods was used for his house. I don't want it in my books but because I have to grv my supplier, I had to bring it in. Now it is lying on my trial ballance and I want it off. I made out a Return & debit to contra the purchase note. Then I made out an Invoice on my cash account which i want to clear with a general journal

1. CR Invoice
2. DT Cost of Sales

It won't allow me to CR an customer account on General Journal.

How do I fix it?

Hi there,
to change the account that you can use in a journal / or any cash book etc you would have to go to ENTRY TYPES. : SETUP / ENTRY TYPES / GENERAL JOURNAL / ACCOUNT ACCESS - change this to Any account
