Christine -- without seeing the entry it is difficult to determine why is it doing what you say it is. As a matter of principle, you must remember that there must be a corresponding "other-side" to your deposit entry. While this may seem counter-intuitive, your deposit to your bank account needs to have a corresponding (and opposite) entry to another account. The way I have mine is I have my bank account (account type BANK) and another account called Income-deposits (account type INCOME). When I make a deposit to my bank account the "transfer account" (or other side of the entry) is to the income account. You will notice that the deposit to a BANK type account will be on the "left side" (thus increasing the balance of the bank account) and the entry will be on the "right side" of the income-deposits account which will be income and thus increase the value of this account.
So it is very much dependent upon how you have setup your accounts. Hope that makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user [mailto:gnucash-user-bounces+pyz01=cox....@gnucash.org] On Behalf Of Christine via gnucash-user Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2017 1:52 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: bank entries Whenever I post a deposit to the bank, it makes a withdrawal of the same amount and I cannot get it to just take the entry, can anyone help pls Christine --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
