SUMMARY It would be a useful feature (at least for me :) ) if payees could be closed and reopened just like Tags can.
I don't see that Tags can be closed. As far as I know, only Accounts can be closed. An Account can only be closed if it has 0 balance. If a Payee could be closed only with a 0 balance, it would mean either removing all the transactions from that Payee, or creating a transaction countering the other ones for the Payee, and I don't think this is realistic. (I do sometimes have a transaction for a payee moving money the opposite way of the usual, but I've only ever done that to handle a refund or rebate.) Please provide some more detail of why you would want to close a Payee, and whether perhaps something like an "active" flag would work - so you can mark a payee not to be used.
Thank you for getting back to me. Please find attached a screenshot about the tick box to close a tag. As far as I'm aware it only makes the tag disappear from the selection list in Ledger view. Thus the tag may have transactions, just cannot be selected for future transactions.
