Description Rob Laan 2019-01-07 06:54:05 EST 
In the function Import Bills & Invoices, if the income or expense account in the import file is not a valid account, the invoice is posted anyway, posting a one-sided entry (only on the customer/vendor), causing a balance on the Imbalance-XXX account.

Import file to illustrate the bug

Using a book with common and business accounts, dd/mm/yyyy date format, vendor 2001.
Expense account is Expenses:Does not exist. Import will post the invoice, with a one-sided entry on the vendor account.
