Your choice. You should enter it as a negative amount if you insist on putting the amount in the "credit" column. Gnucash will then transfer the amount, as a positive number, to the "debit" column for you. Or you can enter it in the "debit" column, as a positive number. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
