This is an income/expense transaction to the Category
Aufwendungen:Christian:Kleidung.  So this looks correct.

THIS, however, is also an income/expense transaction to the Category
Aktiva:Christian:Barvermögen:Bargeld, which is not what you want.  This
transaction should use the QIF Account format if you want to say that
it's a transfer to an Asset/Liability:

L[Aktiva:Christian:Barvermögen:Bargeld]
