Invoices show in the account register as PAID (debit) transactions. Show correctly (Into and out of) AR. HOW did they get there, and how do I get rid of them?

Older invoices did not show up this way. I have tried making new 'fake' invoices. They don't show up there. I have paid the 'fake' invoices and the 'fake' ones still don't show in the account register. How can an invoice show up essentially as a check (PAID/Debit) item in the register??

Check the items used on the invoice. The cost side should be assigned an expense account or COGS and the sales side should be assigned an income account. Neither should be your bank account.

    No 'items' on the invoice. We bill for a service. There is no way that I can see to check an 'expense account' or 'income account'. When I "Create Invoices" there is no such account to check. They go straight to AR. But in this case they also went to the account's (from the list of accounts) register in addition to the AR register (AR also being in the list of accounts). See my screen shot which shows the register and the entry looking like a check even though it's an invoice.
