Mark,

   Use this for the type of transaction; e.g., payment, refund, transfer. At
least, that's what is entered in that cell in my business checking account.
There might be value for searching for all payments, regardless of method or
expense account and this cell will allow that.

   I use it for check numbers; both for those I write and for those the
business receives from clients. If you want to assign numbers to cash
dispersements or deposits, this is the place to do so.

   'R' is for reconciled; not sure what the 'A' represents. When a
transaction appears on a bank's statement click the 'n' (none) and it
converts to 'c' (cleared). When you reconcile the account the signal is
changed to 'r.'

HTH,
