Re: [GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?

Oh wow. It was right in front of me the whole time! I guess my brain assumed
that since it was next to the chart of accounts that it had something to do
with that. 

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! 

I guess my question then is how does gnucash know an account is a bank
account vs a generic asset account? The accounts I'm referring to are indeed
bank accounts so I'd want to have that reflected in gnucash, if possible. I
don't recall specifying that one of them is a bank account and the rest are
generic asset accounts..

You're right, though, I could also just use the standard headings and get
used to it :)

Thanks --dave

[GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?

2019-12-29 Thread ddhahn
Hi all,

I'm a pretty new user to gnucash and am getting settled in. I've searched
the list for the answer to this. I found similar questions but nothing that
lead me to an answer. 

I've noticed that one of my asset accounts has deposit\withdraw columns
while my other asset accounts have increase\decrease columns. I can't figure
out why this is and where I might changed it so that all the asset accounts
have the deposit\withdrawl nomenclature. 

The "Use formal accounting" names setting changes everything to
debit\credit, so that's not it.

Thanks for all your help and for supporting this great project!

--dave
