REVERSING TRANSACTIONS

[David Carlson]

David T & Frank

Since the Add Reversing Transaction menu item is in the Register menu I
concur with your second paragraph about where to describe how it works.
The reason why it works that way would probably fit better in the guide.  I
am neither a business user nor an accountant so my opinion does not carry
as much weight as that of a professional.
