[GNC] Retained Losses on Balance Sheet

[Murugan Muruganandam]

The balance sheet report will change the title to Retained Earnings if it is profit and Retained Losses if it is loss

Trading gains will be reflected as negative in COA.

Thank you.

If the Balance Sheet said:  Retained Earnings/Losses
then it would make sense for my report to have a red negative number.

The Trading Gains number is positive on my report,
but is negative in the COA.  Is that to be expected?

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.
