Did you set up accounts payable entries through a general journal or in the liability or accounts payable category?

I reproduced your problem only when I set up an accounts payable entry in the general journal. (e.g. Debit to asset account, Credit to Accounts Payable account)

When I set up an accounts payable entry in the liability or accounts payable category and then subsequently made a payment from a checking account to pay off the payable, the report did not have the "change of account balance" line.

When I set up an accounts payable entry in the general journal and then paid it off, although the numbers on the report were correct, I did get a "change in account balance" on my distribution report.

Therefore, I suggest that you set up the payable amounts in the liability or accounts payable category directly.

See the post Accounts Payable for further information.

If you transfer payments between journals without a transfer clearing account, only the balances will be affected without posting the other side of the transaction in the A/P journal.

If you have the transfer clearing account set up, both sides of the transaction will be posted in the respective journal as a transaction entry. This will eliminate the change of account balances row on your report.
