It did for me, thanks.

I use the cash flow report for so I've never had to consider what the
report looks like from the perspective of the other accounts.

In any case, in the course of thinking through my use case, I decided to
change how I was booking this transaction and turn it into two transactions.

Now, I will credit the checking account for the entire payment of $141.00
and debit the prepaid account for the same. The second transaction will
credit the prepaid account and debit the electricity and gas accounts. The
remainder in the prepaid account shows how much I owe (or am owed).

This meets my needs and makes the cash flow report work for me.
