Hmm...
Okay I tried these:
Liabilities:AP
1. Open register
2. Reports > Account Report
Result - this generated an AP Aging Report, not the usual 'Account
Report' one would expect.
Liabilities:AP
1. Open register
2. Reports > Transaction Report
Works as expected
Liabilities:(Other Liability)
1. Open register
2. Reports > Account Report
Get a report titled "Transaction Report" and it does look similar to a
Transaction Report, but options are more limited like Account Report,
not advanced like Transaction Report, the results are correct, *but*
indeed the signs are not honoring the preference. (negative means
greater liability)
Either file a bug, and/or just use the Transaction Report to start.
Regards,
Adrien
