Default Re: Bills or Accounts?

In situation like the one outlined I have found that setting up liability
accounts (accounts payable) have done the trick. That way I can track the
amount outstanding. The expense is transferred to the account when it is
first incurred and then paid down with transfers between my checking account
etc and the liability account.

There is no one right solutions and not many good ones. See
http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=132 for some thoughts to a similar question.
If you have multiple across multiple payees, the one suspense category trick
will be problematic since it will be hard to tell about the individual
balance with each payee. This may be a case where doing a spreadsheet in
Excel is a good solution to a problem too ugly and/or transient to model in
Money. Excel is frequently a very handy add-on to Money.

Default Bills or Accounts?

I am trying to figure out how I can accomplish a task in Money.

I have numerous medical bills that I will not be able to pay off in one
payment. I would like to enter each medical bill and track payments and
balances. However if I create it as a bill it assumes you will be paying the
balance when you enter it into the register. Should I create an account for
each medical bill and transfer funds to those accounts to show when a
payment is made?
