			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Double entry accounting is really nothing more than &quot;if it&#039;s going somewhere, it must come from somewhere&quot; and vice versa.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been using it for since 2003&nbsp; with GNUCash.</p><p>All accounting jargon aside...&nbsp; If I sell $100 worth of product, put it in the bank, then pay myself that same $100.&nbsp; My bank account balance should zero, not the $200 my balance is showing.&nbsp; All of the customer balances are working out exactly as expected.&nbsp; Additions, subtractions for inventory vs. services all look good.&nbsp; The bank account balance looks fine, that is until I pay myself.</p><p>The way I figure it, I&#039;m either missing a transaction, or just plain doing something wrong.&nbsp; What I need is a process flow.&nbsp; Every accounting package is a little different.&nbsp; Someone with experience would be able to pick up on the nuances without much trouble.&nbsp; Me on the other hand, no so.&nbsp; I tried looking through the documentation, all I could find was the database relations.&nbsp; </p><p>I&#039;ll figure it out.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>MPH</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>You need to acquaint yourself with the concept of double entry accounting, and drop the idea that a credit means an increase: an increase in bank account is always a Debit as it&#039;s on the Asset side of the equation. Lots of weblinks out there will help.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I&#039;m new to accounting.&nbsp; &nbsp;But I don&#039;t think I&#039;m this dumb... Well, I guess that&#039;s to be proven. LOL</p><p>All my bank accounts show only debits.&nbsp; Customers make payments that show up as debits in the bank account, I pay myself occasionally, they also show up as debits in the bank account.&nbsp; According to the software, I&#039;m WAY beyond broke. <img src="https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve set up 3 or 4 separate databases to see what I&#039;m doing wrong.&nbsp; I generate invoices under the sales tab.&nbsp; I make customer payments under the same tab.&nbsp; It shows FROM customer TO bank account, yet when I make the payment, it shows up as a debit.</p><p>&nbsp; What am I doing wrong???</p>]]></content>
