We buy & bill out a lot of supplies for each client-most with an upcharge so it isn't an even swap. In  Qbooks you can just check a box and assign the purchase or invoice to the customer job, so I can see expenses versus billing right away for the customer and their job. I did some gnusearch on this and didn't really get a clear cut answer.

Yes, your equity account should show 1440.  Go to that account on the
account page and double click on it.  It should show you all the
detailed transactions.  Hopefully you will spot something in there that
will lead you to your answer.  Probably an errant transaction that
didn't belong in that account (or one you forgot happened).

Could you put something in the memo portion of the main transaction
(would show on all splits) and then filter by that?  I've not used
customer billing so can't help any further than that.
