[GNC] Budgets: Income and Expense Signs

[Abhijit Kshirsagar]

Hello all,

I see that in the budget report, any item that is less than the budgeted
value is shown as negative (red in some stylesheets). On income /
investment accounts this works as expected,
If budgeted income was $100 and actual was $80 the difference is -$20 i.e.
perceived as lower net assets.

However when an expense item is budgeted for $100, and actual amount is
$80, this difference should be counted the other way around - i.e. $20.

However, gnucash shows these "lower" expenses in negative/red just like
"lower" income/asset values. Since gnucash knows the account type, my
understanding is that is should calculate expense and income differences in
the budget in opposite ways.

Am I missing something here?
I'm sure this is not just a stylesheet issue...
