Re: Help with GnuCash! Why is there a “Rebate” column in the Expense account on GnuCash?

[David T.]

Robby:

Try looking at http://gnucash.org/docs/v2.4/C/gnucash-guide/basics-accounting1.html

You're seeing Gnucash enforcing the concept of Double-Entry bookkeeping. Money flows from one account to another.

David
