[GNC] Retained Losses on Balance Sheet

[Murugan Muruganandam]

this thread gives you a complete run down on the concept.

to cross verify your retained losses, run a Profit and Loss report from the starting of  your book date and you should see the number.

also, you will not see this as negative as the title itself states  you have a loss.

OS: Linux Fedora 37
GnuCash  4.14

I am running a Balance Sheet report
In the Equity section, I have four subtotals, all in black.
  Total equity (of my accounts)
  Retained Losses
  Trading Gains
  Total Equity (report)

For bottom Total Equity to be the sum of the other three,
Retained Losses should be negative and in Red,
instead of positive and in Black.

Am what I am getting the expected result,
or is this a bug in the report?

Also, where does Retained Losses come from?
There is no entry in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide.
