Solar Accounts

Hi could you tell me why i record an exspense it logs it on reports as a debit and then a credit

Hi Dave,

In double-entry accounting, every transaction affects at least two accounts.  For example, when you record a rent payment, the Cheque Account is decreased (credited) and the Rent account is increased (debited).
