In addition to the comments below, you will need to make sure you entered the transactions in the correct columns.
Make sure the account was correctly set up as a liability account (so its ending balance will decrease your overall net assets balance). When you enter credit card transactions into the account, its running balance should go up, and when you enter payments (last month's card payment in this case) its balance should go down. The debit (left) column will contain the payments to the credit card bank, and the credit (right) column will contain the individual credit card transactions. If it has been awhile since you have looked at the documentation, it's a good time to review the chapter on Credit Cards https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_cc.html On Mon, Jul 1, 2024 at 12:45 PM Phyllis Bruce <pobruc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Trevor, did you enter the unreconciled transactions from the previous > month?
