it sounds to me that you are not entering the transaction properly, you need 
to specify a transfer account.

If you are in a (bank or credit card) account register, and you wist the 
record a purchase, you should have a transfer account of "Expenses:something"

Equally, if you are entering the transaction in an Expense register, the 
transfer account should be a Bank or Credit Card account.

Hope that helps,
Maf.
