I'm trying to add a Liability Account called Groceries. An error message comes up saying "Name already in use" but there isn't any account named Groceries. Any ideas how I can get this added?

    I suspect you have a CATEGORY called 'groceries' and you can't have an expense and a liability with the same name.  Suggest calling your liability 'Grocery-1'

    Thank you! You were correct and I used your suggestion with the only change being I renamed the "CATEGORY" to "GROCERIES-1" and was able to use Groceries for my Liability Account name.
