Backwards. Charges should be credits to the credit card account and debits to the expense account. > > Payment go into "LittleVisa -- Expense" as a "debit". I get > a corresponding "credit" in "LittleVisa”. Again, backwards. Reverse your debits and credits. Payments are a debit to the credit card account and credit to the asset account used to make the payment. Also, you don’t want to make your payments go to the expense account. You aren’t paying the card with expenses, you’re paying it with an asset. (that account I mentioned in the other thread...) Note, now that you can see what is going on, you can switch back to Basic View and informal labels if you prefer. (payment/charge instead of debit/credit) Regards, Adrien _______________________________________________ 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.
