If you pay out from a liability account (such as a credit card) the balance (amount you owe) increases. When you make payments into it, the balance decreases. If you make payments into such an account starting from a zero balance, the balance goes negative. Gnucash is set up to reflect this, unless you change things in Preferences. Of course, if you have set up your credit card as something other than a Liability, all bets are off. _______________________________________________ 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.
