Transactions between two accounts

In Income / Expense accounting, a transaction is generally recorded with one account entered in the Account column and one category entered in the Category column.

• The accounts are those listed in the Accounts table.
• The categories are those listed in the Categories column.

It is also possible to record a transaction involving multiple accounts or categories, by entering one account or category per row, until the entry is complete.

When you need to record a transaction that involves two accounts, without using a category, you can use the Category column to enter the second account from the Accounts table. 

An example could be the recording of a cash withdrawal from the postal account. The transaction should be entered as shown in the example below.

• Enter the Date and Description in the respective columns
• In the Income or Expense column, enter the amount
• In the Account column, enter the first account
• In the Category column, enter the second account
