Default Re: How to lower catagorized amount with refund

I think you are not undersanding what I am saying. I did catagorize the
income as a "negative" expense. That's how I did it on Yahoo! but for some
reason the amount in that catagory still is the same as it was before I
catagorized the income as an expense. I have a bank service charge of $18
and then I get a $18 credit from the bank. But even though I catagorized the
credit under the same expense catagory I still have $18 show up for bank
service charges in my spending by catagory pie chart.

It sounds like you already know the answer: just categorize the returned
stuff as a [negative] expense in the same category. Have you tried this? And
it didn't work why?

Default How to lower catagorized amount with refund

When I buy something, let's say it was $15. Then I return $9 of it. Do I
just catagorize the other stuff as an expense in the same catagory? I can't
seem to get rid of that amount in my expense report. There has to be a way
to reverse charges to show the real amount I spend. Every month my bank
charges me a service charge and then refunds it. But the amount I was
charged still shows up in my expenses even though I catagorized the refund in
the same catagory. When I used Yahoo! finance I was able to do this, is
there anyway in Money 2005?

Also I buy stuff for friends and they pay me back later. That's why it
would be helpful since this throws my expenses off.
